just a quick note, made a withdrawl from my developers reserve to the exchange in order to pay for the cloud server costs hosting our network intelligence, mining pool, website, and development virtual machines.

i sold 5132 SOIL on bittrex to cover the .036 BTC costs of hosting for the next month.
(https://bitpay.com/invoice?id=Bz5ZD6yU3PFB8FHgPZnDke)

the remaining 4868 SOIL i transfered to the exchange will be used next month to cover the costs as needed. essentially, we hoped that the mining pool fees would help cover some of these fees, but thats not been the case.

just in case someone decides to check my developer's account balance on the explorer, for transparencies sake. im still still not dumping my SOIL on the market, but using what i have to work with for development purposes.

to quote a really good post at forum.ethereum.org, "Ethereum is not even "Alpha" release code, it's huge, and it is experimental." We are, presently, what, seven months since Ethereum went public? We're four months live with SOIL and going through our growing pains as well. I think thats to be expected with new technology like this. This isnt just an altcoin. The Ethereum Protocol we operate with, the "SOIL Virtual Machine" is something that can be built on in amazing ways.

I think the whole realization of this is JUST starting to hit the consciousness of the planet, but the Eth based platform is still very peripheral. Aside from a lot of really cool projects going on, its barely scratched the surface yet. And its watching whats being built on Ethereum, we can start to build the basic assembly of a system that will provide services to the industries that we've targeted.

A lot can be done with the Python implementations of things, not just with the native Serpent language, but with other bindings towads Py as well. a great deal of the sorts of frameworks that will provide the information further down the blockchain that the end-users will need to access, as transactions and calls to contracts become easier to access.

There are important projects that need to be built, to improve the scalability of the SOILcoin blockchain. Projects like Swarm are good to watch, as are other decentralizations of ipfs become available as retrievable data STORAGE along the blockchain become neceessary for GIS mapping for agricultural automation become closer to reality.

The social networking side of things, decentralizing twitter, or modules that act as decentralized on-chain email, forums, and understandable multi-use DAO contracts can be deployed. Ive spoken with people from the David Suzuki foundation here in Canada, regarding the project, but its still very esoteric to a lot of the outside world. Setting up charitable wallets for these foundations is a start, as any exposure towards the enviromental protection concerns would bring about further implementations onto SOIL.

Right now SOIL is a very organic thing. Theres a thousand little things that can built on it, and working with smart contracts is getting easier with a lot of tools like truffle, pudding, cosmo, etc. But its still the wild west in smart contract development. People are JUST starting to wake up to the ideas and potentials.

Ive written several universities, particularily those who have been working on renewable energy applications in python. The ability for the analytic computational power behind the blockchain will prove valuable once these sorts of applications can be set onto the blockchain. Other backbone Python-based systems would be ideal.

As an example of how the architecture needs to be built, use solpy as an example.


its a useful tool, built to model solar system power performance, analysis and design. as micro-grids continue to proliferate in urban centers, their interconnectivity, perhaps in the form of "green credits", can reference something springing from solpy on SOIL to monitor performance, efficiency analysis, etc. to build the backbone of solpy, we need to implement something like swarm to store the raw data from computations and find a safe decntralized access to the outside world for incoming data.

callable smart contract functions from Pyephem, the ephemeris, can be used for tide calculations and data modelling for aquaculture and commercial fisheries. a lot of data CAN be crunched by the virtual machine, and its in the early days as people are discovering how to access it, how to use it in a larger sense. every smart contract that can be built onto the SOILcoin blockchain, that becomes a function callable by another contract down the road, is like a pebble thrown in the pond, the ripples reaching outwards to other contracts.

the horizon is much more broad right now than we are capable of reaching to. ecological or otherwise, the potential of the SOILnet is unlimited, by design alone. when we're simply the future trying to catch up with itself, its a matter of building it one brick at a time. and thats probably what we need here, is an easier way of building the dApps and contracts, of interacting with them. the different ways to communicate with the blockchain, thru JSON RPC and web3 calls, is a minefield and not simple documented.

tools like the cosmo app peter released are huge developments for SOIL, opening up solidity based contracts in a more user friendly and automatic way. there are tons of examples of great and simple solidity contracts out there. BUILD! DEPLOY!

Hi all. Has there been any movement with regard to this?

And is it possible you might broaden your horizon even if you stay "ecological"?

This is the perfect time to get some massive GPU hash power from big coins like DASH. Must let people know about switching to SOIL mining.

JSRE commands "altsheets.js" v0.3.13 (18/Feb/2016)
to make my life easier on the commandline (extension to the linux install post, but works on all systems)


Preparations (once):

        1) read the JS code, so that you can trust it
        2) save it as "altsheets.js" (*)
             (*) into the folder where you usually are when you type/click "gsoil attach"


Each time you want to use it:

        1) gsoil attach
        2) loadScript("altsheets.js")
        3) help()



new in version v0.3.13:
* github home
* running on 3 platforms (SOIL, EXP, ETH) !
* new status() = quick overview
* new statusLoop() - very useful during syncing



TL;DR:   I now only have to type     bal()

... and I see all the balances on all my addresses, incl. the sum of them all.

OC pool not sync

id love to be able to be there.... that talk on OpenBazaar sounds great. itd be amazing to have something like that running on the SOILcoin platform. ive been toying around with SafeMarket for awhile, the developer of that is interested in a simple port over to SOILcoin, but right now, its still lots of bugs working out of stuff, but i have to admit, he has massively improved it in the past few weeks (latest package iteration acts as its own node, which would make adoption much simpler) distributed marketplaces are very much the nearest future need of blockchain tech. sure, therell be SilkRoad stuff thatll crop up, nature of the beast... but the ability to use crypto and anonymously purchase and sell goods.. i can see a thousand RIGHT NOW uses for stuff like that.. EthBay distributed auctions are simply the next logical step beyond that...

would also love to hear about BigchainDB. i think thats smething that SOIL, in particular, will need to be looking at sooner than later. with much of the renewable energy and automated ag concerns we want to focus on, much of the scientific dApps will require large database querying. take into accound SolPy, the solar energy modelling app in Python that ive been digging into. a lot of it requires database querying, from geospatial data to NumPy and big numbers. the question is, how cost-effective on a "gas-powered" blockchain can big database queryable computations be?  with ETH up to four bucks, simple contract deployments can start to get costly, if complex contract use requires a full unit of currency in the future, will it be chains like SOIL that handle that load due to its lower valuation and thus, cost to do business?

have a great time. pick me up a "decentralize EVERYTHING" tshirt!

I go to d10e event tomorrow

If you are there are there we can a talk.

Ah alright. That explains it.
I'll leave that UDP port open.


Thanks.

EDIT: Can I drop 39338? Was that testnet?

It can live with TCP alone but with blocking UDP you prevent auto peer discovery and you rely only on the hardcoded bootstrap nodes.

Linux geek anyone?
   
At some stage I had introduced this rule:
    sudo iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 39420 -j DROP
because before, the logs had been filling up.

But today I saw that in stats.soilcoin.xyz that my node was red,
and it had very few peers, so I tried out different things.

As soon when I delete
    sudo iptables -D INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 39420 -j DROP
my node turns green in stats.soilcoin.xyz

Is UDP a necessity for stats.soilcoin.xyz ?
Or does SOIL (ETH) need UDP, and cannot live with TCP alone?

Does anyone fully understand iptables & the soil ports & protocols,
and iptables syntax - and can give me a list of iptables commands?

Thx

P.S.: The block explorer function was not at all affected by this.
P.S.: This had helped me ... the first 2 columns of
           sudo iptables -L INPUT -v

this might indeed be the case. it is frustrating though, that exchange operators arent communicative with coin developers, especially after theyve received funds towards advertised listing periods. i have yet to hear anything from them, despite further messages appended to my support ticket from late thursday. i see that coins are continuing to be listed there at a regular pace, so it may just be a case of them being backed up, i dunno, it shows 9 newly listed coins via their twitter account in the past 16 hours. (fingers crossed)

interest whether you mean

Following with interest.

I don't see ETH nor SHF nor EXP there.
So SOIL is the first ethereum-based coin on Yobit?
They might need the time to understand how to do it.

I see still no SOIL listing on https://yobit.net/
I have send some BTC but that is waiting there for some SOIL.

LOL. Coin is unusable, because of more-than-a-day blocks, but yeah, we got another popular shit-feature, nobody interested in.

wow was amazing

ROKOS Flavors support/updates thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1084908.new#new

ive sent a support request to them on friday, having not heard from them in 24 hours past when we should have had our listing made on yobit. i have yet to hear from them, but ill be writing them again tomorrow morning.
