I have started over the weekend to update our current GUI wallet aka SOILsafe to the latest MIST/Meteor-dapp-wallet code base. Unfortunately, we need to hit a higher ethereum code base with gsoil before it will work properly. Anyway, it's prepared! As abvhiael metioned, I have updated gsoil and we will hit homestead at block 2,000,000 together with a reward upgrade (3 soil as of block 2,000,100). Please update your current gsoil. The new gsoil v1.4.4 command line client and the SOILsafe wallet with the new client is available here:

I'm doing this for fun and because I like soil, but donations give me some incentive (I got 1500 soil yet). If you like my work, please tip me please

....and on the subject of bittrex.....
just as a reminder, especially as we approach the changeover to Homestead compliance, to make sure you take whatever SOIL you have remaining on bittrex off the exchange as soon as possible. they will be updating the wallet to ver.1.4.4 but theres no guarantee they get to it before the fork, meaning that any coins sent out from the bittrex wallets AFTERWARDS could get lost in the great unknown with all those ETH that got mined to 0x0000000000000000000 that first day....

regarding SIOLcoin relisting on bittrex:
ive been waiting in my open conversation with julian yap for about a week, hes the guy who processes the coin additions on bittrex, aside from his other positins with cryptocurrency projects elsewhere. hes generally dealing with between 25-50 coin listing requests at any one time, so it WILL be a waiting game for us to be relisted on bittrex. i will admit to getting frustrated, and wrote to @bittrex-bill, the founder of the company, because it was taking so long to get any responses from julian. im not normally the lose my patience type, but ive been working very hard to convince bittrex to relist SOIL, and it began to feel like i was simply repeatedly running myself headfirst into a brick wall.
bill basically told me that they dont generally say no to many projects, but that they wont announce, even to me, that theyre listing it until its reset on the exchange.
"so basically, the fact that its not on the exchange just means its not on right now but might be in the future"
if you want to speed things along, as before, get on slack.bittrex.com and tell them that. tag @bittrex-julian and @bittrex-bill and let them know you are an active trader on bittrex, and that you want SOIL back on the market. send them a tweet @BittrexExchange and @richiela and let them know that SOIL is BACK and better than ever.
dont just pop in and ask them to relist SOIL and pop back out. they want to see an involved community that is supporting the project. there truly is only so much that a developer CAN do to get a project listed, and my time away due to health reasons is a mark against me. they have been informed as to our new development team, and the protection of shared credentials for the [ANN] thread and social media presences (apart from the facebook group which is attached to my personal facebook account) but overall they want the community to let them know how badly they want the listing on bittrex again.
ive had a few people promise to build up decent buy walls when do get listed, and would like to take one moment to remind everyone that the order book from bittrex was deleted upon delisting, and that while valuation at close of exchange may have represented the state of the project at that time, i feel we have reinvigorated SOIL in the past few weeks with small steady improvements and work. in other words, when we do get listed (and be sure to follow richie from bittrex as he is generally the first to tweet about the market inclusion with a cute little pun) dont feel beholden to your positions on the previous market wall. when we were sitting at 5000 satoshi, people were still saying we were a grossly undervalued project. our close at 78 satoshi was a rough one, but theres no reason to reopen ANY market with that valuation haunting us.
as usual, i wont take any position on the market, only to put up a first trade when i do get informed of the market opening to initiate the trade book if its not already done.
i hope to get our social media presences more up-to-date, but am concentrating on finding a market for SOILcoin in the first and foremost. hope everyones weekend is going great!

Pool - soil.miners-zone.net has been updated for Homestead.
April 08, 2017, 11:45:53 PM
seems you're making a great job
April 08, 2017, 09:04:42 PM
This updates brings some fresh air to Soil
April 08, 2017, 07:14:36 PM
so, our update to the gsoil platform takes us from ver 1.3.3 of Go up to ver 1.3.5
this brings us into the Ethereum Homestead Protocols.
a number of changes are made to our platform with these changes, which were introduced to the Ethereum mainnet after much testing. ill try to be brief about them, but want to describe some of how they change our ecosystem....
for the Homestead release, two major changes are introduced:
EIP#7: EVM opcode DELEGATECALL has been introduced at 0xf4. similar in idea to CALLCODE, except that it "propagates the sender and value from the parent scope to the child scope", making it more straightforward for a contract to store another address as a mutable source of code and ''pass through'' calls to it, as the child code would execute essentially the same but with reduced gas costs. this will make reusable standard libraries more accessible and operational.
EIP#2: Consensus rules changes
-the gas cost for deploying contracts via a transaction is increased from 21000 to 53000 (0.00103000 SOIL)
-block difficulty adjustment algorithm has changed to
or basically, if blocktimes over the last 2 blocks are < 10 seconds, the difficulty is increased by parent_diff // 2048 * 1. if they are winthing the 11-19 second range, difficulty will remain unchanged. if blocktimes are > 10 seconds, the difficulty is lowered proportional to the timestamp difference, from parent_diff // 2048 * -1 to a max downward adjustment of parent_diff // 2048 * -99 The cap of -99 simply serves to ensure that the difficulty does not fall extremely far if two blocks happen to be very far apart in time due to a client security bug or other black-swan issue, but the promotion behind this algorithm was an eventual mathematecal impossibility of block times exceeding 24 seconds.
the second part of the algorithm int(2**((block.number // 100000) - 2)) is the so-called "difficulty bomb". which increases, exponentially, the average difficulty for mining a block every 100,000 blocks. this was put in place essentially as a motivation to push the network towards a Proof of Stake consensus engine.
according to the documentation for the Homestead release this change guarantees to keep block time in the 10-20 range, which has been a problem for SOILcoin when the network is hit with a mining farm. the previous difficulty adjustment was very vigorous in increasing difficulty to respond to increases of hashing power on the system, but was GLACIALLY slow in decreasing block difficulty.
i think this is one of the most important changes to our protocols, while we work our code up towards compatibility with the UBQ Flux Difficulty Algorithm which looks further back in the chain to ensure a more rapid response to hashrate dynamics. this should set our block times roughly in sync with the Ethereum networks block times,
*On chain version update notifications
Much like Ethereum, we have deployed an oracle contract to the network which holds the current version of gSOIL with the release hash. Its goal is to allow gSOIL to check for new releases automatically without the need to consult a central repository. It currently recognizes ver 1.3.3 as the most uptodate client, and this will be updated (manually) with each new protocol release (i.e. at block #2,000,000 our version will be set to 1.3.5 and at block #2,000,100 our version number will be set at 1.4.4, although this is NOT ver 1.4.4 per the Ethereum releases). This contract will emit a notice informing you if there's a new client available.
New releases will be signed off by 1 current signer (@abvhiael) to be accepted by the oracle and users be notified of the client version change. I would prefer, in the interest of decentralization, to promote two further signatories to this contract, and to make it a 2-of-3 signature condition for published notices. Please contact me if you want to be added to this. NOTE, this contract does not push any automatic upgrades to your gsoil cient, it only displays a small CLI notification to the user when an update to the client is available.
This contract is live on the SOILnet at 0x17080970C7A6beBa2AFB95c7985B975cAF3fF33C.
The full contract ABI is available on my github page: https://gist.github.com/abvhiael/9b14842d38e5ed3637f3518507c12882
And a reduced ABI that just contains the list of signers and the current release version is also available: https://gist.github.com/abvhiael/bfa42bd5b9a4a6aba9fc29b98c8a5e12
marty is working step by step in upgrading our protocols towards where Ethereum's platform is at today, and there are many changes in the works with those protocol changes. marty is doing a fantastic job with these changes and hopefully the community will reward him for his efforts as he brings us closer to being up-to-date with Ethereum (currently at ver 1.5.9)
im off to watch the hockey game and then ill do a write up on changes to our SOILsafe GUI wallet and development tool.

Thanks to marty, step by step we have been updating our blockchain protocols against what ethereum is running, and as of block 2,000,000 we will be adjusting over to Homestead, as was set in the previous release of gsoil. we have also decided to increase the block reward to 3 SOIL per block as of block number 2,000,100 to boost the liquidity of the project and hopefully bring more miners on board when we can find a centralized market for representation.
the most up to date repository for our protocol releases is marty's github repository:
https://github.com/martymcfly2015/go-soil/releases
this brings our code up to ver. 1.4.4 of the ETH protocols (they are presently running ver 1.5.9 and building SOIL up to that protocol is a step by step process)
marty has also updated our SOILsafe GUI wallet package based on MIST
https://github.com/martymcfly2015/go-soil/releases/tag/0.5.3
we will update the OP with the new links and i will have an article regarding the changes this makes to our protocols and capabilities.
appreciate the work marty's put in to upgrading our blockchain?
tip him!

Yes you should definitely update the nodes, which one is your pool? Also do you have pools on any other coins?
Like a multi-algo/multi-coin pool or is it just one coin pool?
If it is the latter you should update with each update, if the first than updating on 2mth would be fine I suppose.

Ok, how can I help?
I think ethereum need more diversity, well established crypto currencies like SOIL can have their fair slice of ethereum volume and I don't get it why corporations and exchanges hate agriculture so much. SOIL can be a dogecoin of ethereum.

well, the easiest thing to do right now is help get SOIL relisted on the exchanges. bittrex will relist us, but theyd like to see more community demand. the easiest way to get your voice heard there is on their slack channel (slack.bittrex.com) and by messaging bittrex-bill and bittrex-julian (who is also one of the devs behind Ubiq, whos excellent Flux Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm will become a very important part of the SOILcoin blockchain parameters going forward past Homestead on block 2,000,000)
cryptopia would be another great exchange to get on, and especially thanks to their stand AGAINST ethereum and the DAO rollback. i made the same arguments when the crisis was ongoing, and believe wholeheartedly in teh immutability of the blockchain. ive made a support ticket request there with as much detail as i could, and will be writing up an [ANN] thread this evening on their forum pages, in hopes of introducing SOIL to that community and building some support.
if you want to really get your hands dirty, we can always use help within the core development circle, we could really use a social media guru who >GETS IT< cause i sure as hades dont. theres lots of projects to build on the blockchain and not enough hours in a decade to get them all done. you dont need to be a superguru blockchain prodigy, i didnt have much of an idea about how the system ran when i came on board as community director in the first days of the project, and have since learned solidity and serpent and have fallen in love with smart contracts, and perhaps thats EXACTLY what SOILcoin needs, and SHOULD be.
grassroots cryptocurrency. the realization of SIMPLE decentralization. butting the ideal of the technology and how it can benefit the planet before worrying about how it can simply benefit the pocketbook.
now,, i dont think big corp hates agriculture, its one of the fastest growing industries escpecially in terms of precision automation. projects juch as the MIT co-lab's FOOD COMPUTER could be run autonomously or remotely via the SOIL blockchain with a lasting ledger of referrence for the system to perfect conditions from... transactiv's micro grid solar electricity project would fit on SOIL, with our preceptive direction, like a glove.
if you want to get overinvolved and obsess over this project 60+ hours a week for little to no pay, drop me a PM!

Is there any difference between etherium and SOIL?
i didnt really respond to this part of your question the other day, and id like to now. ethereum, as a blockchain, is a great thing, the technology is something absolutely incredible. and i think thats why theres been a lot of new ETH-based clones popping up recently, Ubiq, Uther, Elementerum, etc. And its wonderful to see people leveraging the open source smart-blockchain for other purposes.
BUT.
ethereum is becoming more and more centralized, and the acrimony between the Ethereum Core and Ethereum Classic groups is still ridiculous politics that hampers the ubiquitous growth of the overall ecosystem. ethereum is becoming more and more... well... CORPORATIONALIZED. look at the ethereum enterprise initiative, the backers and funders of this are the same people that have controlled and centralized policy surrounding banking for years, and in the end, ETH level smart-blockchain technology in that arena is going to become very privatized, centralized, controlled and censored, etc.
SOILcoin is and will remain an independent blockchain. i believe we can leverage many of the smart contract suites that are built on ethereum, and repurpose them towards a more humanitarian purpose. i believe SOILcoin can be an evironmental hub, and that what we can build may one day be a benefit to humanity. i dont take a wage from this. there are no corporations putting money in my pocket. im dedicated to SOILcoin because i believe in the PROMISE of the EVM.
i know that much of what i envision is several years ahead f where technology is today. and the challenge is to biuld up in small ways that can scale out to the larger applications. im not working on SOILcoin to get rich. i wish it COULD make me rich, i wont lie. i live on a small pension and paying bills every month is a challenge. i dont have a fancy mining farm churning massive ammounts of hashing power against the system, in fact for some reason my computer just hates GPU mining, and i do run CPU mining on the system, but i never find a block.
im constantly looking into what we CAN build on SOIL. how to make it more accessible. i wasnt a coder or a programmer when i came on board the project, but i learned solidity and serpent, i spent more hours than i can count, many of them banging my head on the desk, deploying projects like SOILex and figuring out how to run and maintain the BTCrelay. im still constantly looking at contracts and platforms, seeing how they work and how we can use them to build a more accessible and robust currency.
but we're small. we're the underdog. we're not the cryptocurrency of the guys who want to dazzle you at conferences with big promises and justifying a take home pay of thousands of dollars in pay every month. we're the guys who want to build programs to design more efficient wind or solar farms, or to utilize the power of the blockchain to fuel climate prediction, or to provide a platform with reliable uptime and low costs to run those autonomous conditions on a precision-farming agricultural business, or a decentralized library of sustainable and renewable agriculture.

Maybe we could ask Manfred Karrer to add soil to bitsquare.

they seem like a decent exchange. can you do the address validation requirements? or copy/paste me the code params and ill send of a req to them. with the weather holding over next week (supposedly) there shouldnt be any snow days for me to have to contend with and i should have the website finally completed. speaking with julien from bittrex over the afternoon and hopefully will have positive news coming out of that.
April 01, 2017, 03:20:08 PM
talking with bill and julien on the bittrex slack channel to get SOIL relisted, and theyd love to hear from you guys as well. if you want to see SOIL relisted on Bittrex, which i still feel is the best exchange out there, trust wise, let them know!!
