Its  good that you are thinking about things that can improve the quality of SLG but masternodes is not enough. For me masternodes is just another wallet. Many coins have them and I think it will not gain more investors. If it had been made a year ago then it would have been good.

I have been a supporter since the beginning and I have been holding up to 0.4 BTC worth of it. I liked the dev team and the work that they put into it but now they put their efforts into other coins than SLG. This coin have been in limbo waiting for an multipool that never happend.


This coin is the only coin that I have supported. I promoted it into Cryptopia but now Im out.

Hi Sterling Sentinel, no appoligy necessary. It is a good question and I am happy to elaborate. Of course, crytocurrency is not standardized so, perhaps my term usage is slightly misleading. What I meant is "up to par" with newer and more mature code bases. That is not to imply anything is necessarily wrong with the current code.

Over time and much peer review, better ways are found to do tasks. The nature of open sourced code is you can look to see if someone is doing a task in an improved way and if so, freely do similar or the same with your own code. So long as you intend to allow people to do the same with your code.

Using this model, software development flourishes. These differences might usually not be noticeable other than performance wise. Other, and yes more noticeable improvements, such as the mentioned masternodes can be added and merged into Sterlingcoin as well.

We started work on Sterlingcoin over two years ago. Yes we have made periodic updates but, now a "rebase" or starting from a more recent base model such as current bitcoin or current dash, depending on desired functions, is needed. Taking this approach a smaller team such as the Sterlingcoin team can leverage efforts by larger development teams that might not have had to spread focus among many projects.

I do feel an agile, creative, and now much more experienced and knowledgable team Sterlingcoin has, could easily "spring board" Sterlingcoin back to the forefront or even lead of the crowded field.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the update.  Can you elaborate on precisely what you mean by 'current standards'. 

What differences will we observe in SLG?

Apologies in advance if this is a daft question; as I have mentioned before, I am not a tech-head. 

Sterling Sentinel

I (Steve) did discuss with Matt the mentioned addition of SLG masternodes in a new revision of the wallet. He agreed it would be a good addition when we bring the code up to current standards. We hope to begin work on that this summer.

any news ??

I think any marketing campaign we do, at least at the present, will have to be done by us. We can not afford hiring any marketing companies or anything like that. 

I do feel we can accomplish much alone through articles, present social media, word of mouth, and perhaps community members have skills or resources they could assist marketing Sterlingcoin with. Is there something more specific you had in mind, Parano? Or if anyone else has ideas, please feel free to chime in.

Is there going to be a marketing campaing in the future like the one Aurora is going to launch soon?

Thank you for your attention in this matter and for responding, BitcoinFX.

A working SLG block explorer can be found at prohashing.


EDIT: fyi, this was Steve responding. I was never aware of any financial debt to BitcoinFX and cannot speak on Spencer's behalf.

@Kasper_SKY - I had these original SLG crypto-cards produced. Please provide me with the cards Issue No. and the corresponding wallet address for the card which had the apparent 'error' - so that I can investigate this properly.

Please also clarify if you obtained the card directly from the StartJOIN crowdfunding pitch or from elsewhere? I also trust that the security seal (sticker) on the reverse of the card remained fully intact before its removal?


@Sterlingcoin (team) Does SLG have a fully working live block explorer at present?


For community transparency, I will also document here that the "100 Bitcoin Expo London 2015 Limited Edition Sterlingcoin Cryptocards", pictured here: - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10235501
were produced and shipped to the SLG dev. Spencer at my own expense and that to date no agreed settlement for these cards has been received.


The SLG Premier Edition crypto-cards for the StartJOIN project were individually produced and also separate to this batch of cards, however.

To my knowledge no such issues have been raised with other crypto-cards produced to date.

I'm sure that this can all be resolved easily and amicably.

I gifted several as well. I do very much appreciate the gesture. I am also upset that at the time I purchased the coin I thought I was supporting the dev team. I was mistaken, thinking the dev team were using the cards as a way to raise funds.. and I thought it was a good idea and wanted to support the coin. If, in fact, the cards were made by a community member then I understand I have no recourse and it is not the fault of SLG. I still support the coin, I still want to incorporate the coin into our projects and developments at allentownbitcoins.com.

The Sterlingcoin team did not sell nor make the cards. The cards were sold and made by a community member. Please do not say, "scammed by SLG". Personally, I too purchased 10 cards. Your issue has made me question my own cards but, I have gifted them all.

I am glad your sencond card did work. I will send 49 SLG to the previously mentioned first address as a good gesture later today when I get back to my desk. But, again, the Sterlingcoin team did not make nor sell the cards and we are sorry to learn of the issue.

The peers.dat did the job, thanks.

Keep up the good work on the coin, I sense a price correction soon.

So, basically, I got scammed by SLG? I bought several cards I haven't had any luck with any of them. Can you confirm that even though I bought the cards, which were all supposed to be preloaded... that I'm beat for my money?


*****UPDATE**** So I tried another card and it did upload 50 SLG after I imported the private key. But that still leaves me confused about the first card I tried to import

I have contacted BraveNewCoin and politely requested the addition of Sterlingcoin.

We have proven you had imported the private key succesfully by me sending the 1 SLG to the address and you recieving it.

This would indicate, for whatever reason, the card in question had a balance of zero when you imported it.

I noticed BraveNewCoin completely redid their site and I was looking for SLG but I didn't see it listed on there

It is showing the 1 SLG, but not the 10. When I imported the private key it took it. If it didn't take it an error code would come up in red, but a response came that was blank. Usually in linux when nothing happens as a result of your input it is a good thing meaning the input took.. I will try to import the key again and see what happens

EDIT{ "Error adding key to wallet (code -4) }

Let's hope so, SLG can use some firework!! 

After Auroracoin and scot...
Hope next SLG , national coin
