the difficulty was raised very quickly, thanks to what was likely a mega farm that worked on the system a few days ago. i noted on the SOIL network intelligence page that our global network hashrate SOARED from several hundred Mh/s to close to 15 Gh/s for the better part of the day. this resulted in nearly impossible difficulty once the mega farmer logged off the system. the kimoto gravity well is doing its job and the difficulty is reducing every block, the graph for that looks like a nice steep ski-hill right now as the system rights itself. no system is perfect, and these sorts of "attacks" happen, but how the algorithms work protects us in the long run. that super long block (31,859 seconds) sticks out like a sore thumb in the last block times graph. our average block-time is now at 4 minutes, and these will drop back down gradually to the appropriate level as smoothly and non-disruptively as the system is designed to do.

are these sorts of "attacks" deliberate? id hate to think so, but one never knows. the crypto-communtiy is an odd place sometimes, and someone of malicious intent can become that way for any reason... id prefer to hope in the general altruism we all try to express as a community, but thats a fragile thing when you watch how many users feel "contributing" to a community is by spreading as much FUD as they can. it is what it is, and simply a part of doing business....

is there anything we can do to protect ourselves from similar in the future? again, theres no easy answer. hopefully with near future developments we might see appropriate upward trends in valuation which makes mining more profitable again to potential miners and the system corrects itself faster. ill write ritchie at bittrex and ask him to slash that confirmation time down while we are experiencing this "block time kerfuffle" to help alleviate deposit and withdrawl times on the system.

Just be patient this shall change in the near future.
Now SOIL is on ROCOS what is funded by OKChash.
I believe SOIL can  rise quickly soon or later and gets attention of the crypto and IoT communities.
And if PoS for Etherium is availble then this can also implemented for SOIL and then the RasberryPI ecosystem gives so much potention!
If I had 5 BTC then I bought all the SOIL I could buy but better that there is some sheap SOIL for new investors.

Dead network.  

Transaction on bittrex.com require 250 confirmations. Already passed 24 hours and is confirmed 105/250.

http://stats.soilcoin.xyz/ say block time was almost 9 hours.

how do you figure? its only been two or three days of low volume trades, but its also the holidays.

if you analyze the chart patterns over the last month, we started out with a double bottom pattern between dec.10 and 17th, with the support return by the 28th reaching above the resistance the security met on the 13th of december, on somewhat higher total volume. the rise to the new peak was formed by a triple peak/valley reversal pattern, with each valley meeting resistance at a higher level than the previous valley and each peak reaching a higher level than the previous peak, with a diminishing volume along the whole of the pattern. this shows a diminishing selling pressure, and historically results in a higher volume breakout. since december 27th, we have experience a low volume plateau, bracketed between 750-850 satoshi. all of this is easily attributed to the shift in supply/demand with our block reward halving and increased targeted block times, with the market adjusting to it. this is healthy, expected and in no way portends the death of SOILcoin by any means.

before making such prognostications, you should really study the chart patterns and do some research on them regarding bull and bear markets on the exchanges, how they relate to overall trade strategies and i think you might see things in a whole different light. its simply irresponsible to make bold predictions like yours based on two or three days of low volume on the exchange.

anynow, there are new developments in the pipeline, with one project likely ready for public deployment early next week, which should increase the overall exposure of SOILcoin in a very positive way. im presently working on the website for this development, which is a bit of a personal project, but all the pieces are pretty much in place already. im simply waiting for certain outside circumstances to be concluded tomorrow before i can finish setting it up. ill be making an announcement on that monday or tuesday at the latest, when its up and running for the public. i think you will all find it very interesting and have great hopes that it will bring in a new set of consumers for SOILcoin. the history behind similar ventures seems to point that way, although this will be the first attempt using smart contract platforms on the EVM in this way.

(yes, i know im being purposefully vague, which is very much unlike the way i generally communicate our upcoming developments, but this is one of those few times i dont want to let the cat out of the bag until its ready to be shaved.)

couple that with our impending inclusion as a base currency on the ROKOS OS for Raspberry Pi, which is presently accepted and being tested against their system (as they had not had experience with ETH-based currencies previously) [with much thanks gong out to community member, crypto4jan, for bringing SOILcoin to their attention]. this development will make cross chain interconnectivity much easier to attain, which is a definite desire for us right now, not only to be able to have a true inclusion of other cryptocurrencies on the forthcoming SOIL-Ex, rather than merely pegged subcurrencies for them, but will also enable us to begin building a community of similarily themed altcoins. (ie: renewable energy conscious, agriculturally aware currencies and projects)

our network global hashrate is very low right now, certainly, as the system adjusts to a mega-farm having mined against the system which raised the difficulty very high. thanks to the kimoto gravity well, this difficulty is decreasing as it should, and the lengthy block times of the last few days are quickly correcting themselves.

stick around, you may just see things get very interesting in the short term.

Happy New Year!

OK is Honored with the new cross collaboration with SOIL:

Congratulations to SOIL for claiming the "Bonus permanent add promo" (respected for sending bfore perma coins spots got filled)
showing Real commitment to their communities to support long term adoption.

SOIL is getting integrated in the base coins for all coming ROKOS flavors releases if all testing goes good.




What is ROKOS?

coin dead

I composed a tweed about the SOROS project where we are together with GMC, BLK, SOIL and EnergyCoin
https://twitter.com/GEO_Jan/status/683398674123206657

that is INCREDIBLY interesting! i have heard of raspberry pi, but hadnt done any real research into it. having now had a good look at their website, im quite excited by this news. ill be writing OKtoshi immediately. thank you so very much for bringing SOILcoin to their attention!!

I miss one of the most interesting functions: the transactions regarding an address

Good work, altsheets!

Small bug: an address pasted in the edit field is recognized as block number, not as a soil address.

check this:


EnergyCoin is on that platform and I asked if they want to add SOIL.
They want to and I think that is great news for SOIL!
We can create Internet of Things co-creation applications!

A happy new year SOIL.
I hope it is a good year and that SOIL gets the attention it deserves.
I have a lot of SOIL and not intention to sell but we need more supporterds and investors.
The volume on Bittrex is too low, soon or later the warning for low trading volume will come.
If you also want succes for SOIL put some buy orders, now only 1.7 BTC and that is not much for a coin with much potention.

escrow account has been paid out to altsheets following live implementation of his ABEE block explorer onto the SOILnet. great job, looks amazing!

transaction id: 0x214e5e9ca8b07a12fa3cac06a1885f743aaf1a8e0a484ce0e42089e20a9ceafc

Thanks altsheets!

Nice release date. Great start to the new year.

Happy new year, community!

History and Screenshots

My task that was negotiated for this milestone 2 ... was porting ABEE 0.2.2 to SOIL.

However, I could not stop myself from coding more, and making improvements.
For all the news in version v0.2.3 see posting #8 in ABEE thread. With screenshots.

Happy to hear your feedback.

I live in The Netherlands and we can make a coocreation.
Actualy the farming concept I send you can be used as an startusecase.
I you want to put serious effort into this we can start a trello group and discuss how we can make this happen.
Some students from the univeristy of Wageningen (where I work) can maybe help with the plan?

thats an interesting link. i wonder if it would work for SOIL, seeing as we are cross-continental, though... with peter in europe and myself in north america..? id be unable, due to funds, to go to amsterdam, for such a pitch... although.. honestly, amsterdam is one place in europe id desperately like to visit. the only place in europe ive ever spent any time is landstuhl, germany.. and it wasnt much of a "vacation" although the nurses were cute.

I think a nice change for SOILto get attention

i generally only mine with GPU, via the official pool at http://45.63.4.165:5000/
im not sure if you have read much back in the thread, but im planning on initiating what im calling a "miner's equity subsidy" on the pool, so that at the end of a week, i will be splitting the pool fee 50/50 between the server costs at vultr, and dividing the remaining half equally to the miners who are spending cumulatively >51% of the time during the week (i.e. greater than 85h/w) with an average hashrate <26Mh/s (i.e. the rate youd get mining using ethminer with a single high end video card).
i have a pretty crappy card. i manage MAYBE 2Mh/s on average, but still manage to find blocks as i mine, not a LOT, maybe 4 or 5 in a day.

we havent implemented a mining calculator yet, but it *IS* one of the features that ive discussed with altsheets for phase 2 implementation of his ABEE block explorer.
