Topic: [ANN][SLG] Sterlingcoin v1.6.1.1 | United Kindom | Cryptopia - page 42. (Read 464486 times)

great question!

that would be a very interesting service...

I was going to advise you, litebit.eu, but 2 problems.
1) It doesnt change to £ but €
2) SLG is not included

I assume you would have to change them to BTC and then bitstamp or local

as this is a coin from the United Kindom, I would like to ask if you need to cash out your sterling into £, which method would you use? Bitstamp, localbitcoins, etc?

Yes, thank you Sterling Sentinel.

Also, Rw13enlib88, in regards to your previously posted graphic. The Sterlingcoin faucet has been back online for over a month. However, thank you for organizing and making the graphic.

Great job!!

That's good news!

Excellent article, and good graphic with SLG logo.

I agree with earlier comments re updating the code, that will be sufficient for now; we can build on that later.

I'll just mention in passing, SLG is now one of the live coins on the PayServices Butterfly System.  

I contacted them to get SLG added about 8 weeks ago, and it's been 'pending' ever since, but we got there in the end.  

Another handy little string to our bow, I am sure you will all agree!

You are welcome.

I think if scotcoin, aurora and sterling talk to each other as communities to share ideas will benefit everyone. if you create and slack where all these countrycoins community meet to talk and have some common objectives. No only you can share point of views and strategies but a bigger community with common dreams can be created and by being all these communities talking to eachother  they  will all buy each other coins what it means the value of all these country coins will increase considerably

If you want to know what a slack is let me know

The price of starting a crypto is so low, that means there will be a lot of competition.
Now the Countrycoin hype is gonne, but it will be back and competition will flourish again.
As you can expect, once mainstream starts talking about btc again, they will look for other coins to talk about.
Each countries media will see a coin focused in their country and they will talk about it.
That's the advantage we have on the new coins that will be created.

Back to the niche:
UK niche is in fact quite big for SLG.

The competition right now in UK
SterlingCoin          SLG
IrishCoin               IRL
ScotCoin               SCOT
020LondonCoin    020

NLG and EFL for Netherlands. PTC and SPA for Spain. (SPA now dead).
The point is:
You can expect another coin focused in UK.
That means direct competition.

An update in the code would be fine 
Community should join to the effort helping with other stuff

Speak of the devil. Joël told me he would let me know before it was published. Nonetheless, thanks Porte.

where is the link for ''The darksilk are soon released''

Time constraints are tight but then again, they seem to be always. As I previously mentioned, Matt and I (Steve) had discussed a wallet update when the dust settles after launches we both have recently or soon will be going through. What we had discussed was bringing the SLG code up-to-date but that would be a very good time to work in some new enhancements. Perhaps masternodes as Rols suggests. Everyone feel free to introduce any ideas.

In regards to the 'niche UK' and country coin debate, you may enjoy the forthcoming CoinTelegraph article that I was interviewed for as that was the topic. I wont spoil the read for you. Should be available any day now and of course I will promptly inform my fellow Sterllingcoiners when it is.

Not sure about the 'niche UK' concept, to be honest; I see SLG more as a common currency of the Anglosphere (UK, US, Commonwealth).

Definitely agree that this is the time to be making all of the necessary improvements; BTC/altcoin adoption will go into overdrive in the next  6-12 months; just see what happens with Auroracoin (and the knock-on effect on other 'country' coins, eg NLG, SLG).

Sterling Sentinel

You want to be on the hype or you mean real improvements for SLG?

If you want improvements for SLG, I'm with you.

But in case you just want SLG to jump on every hype you're wrong my friend

SLG niche is the UK.

It needs to improve, so once BTC moves to the next adoption phase, SLG is ready to hit the UK media and be adopted by UK people.

Till we move to the next phase, it will be boring, but this is the time to improve the coin.

Hi Steve

I dont know how much time you have for this coin but if you have time you can ask what improvement ppl want to have to take this coin forward. There are a lot of coins that have been developed more than this coin. Coins with masternodes and services seems to take a lot of investment for the moment. The darksilk are soon released. Maybe there are some small improvements that can be made for this coin so more ppl wants to use it. PoS seems to be good and SLG blockchain has been moving without problems.

Rols,

I believe at one point, weaver was for the swap only. Sorry if a stated facts that are not up-to-date. I admittedly do not know all the details of that project and do know the project has changed a lot over the past year for Spencer and that community. I sincerely apologize if I unintentionally conveyed anything that you felt needed defending. I honestly said what I thought to be true and did not intend to be questioning anyone. I was more so wanting to give a brief answer and steer future inquiries to the appropriate thread. My bigger objective of the post was to express that I am still present and supporting the Sterlingcoin community as I have and will. All years, thick or thin. Perhaps not as much monetarily but, I too am vested.

Kind regards,
Steve

p.s. Yes, my personal account is still hacked and that is why this apology and explanation comes from the Sterlingcoin user.

I understand your position but I dont care about Cystum.

It wont make any differences.

Anyone can sell its coins if he feels disapointed.

I'll buy some for a good price

Hi Steven
Sorry to hear that you lost your account and still not regaining it.

The weaer is not just an swap mechanism, its everything Cystum was promised to be. Read from the jpeg from the link you posted and the old thread. There you will see that you can mine and get payed in silk coin. They have worked on the Crystum for over one year and its going to released in another thread and coin. It was an Sterlingcoin projekt and it is not that now. I really feel disappointed even if it would not benefit this coin so much now after one year. They have stated in one of their msg that they have worked on it for one year and he had another alias SCDeveloper. First message is from  July 28, 2015. In a message from August 01, 2015, 06:41:56 PM he writes "Also in terms of the work done, I have spent a few months on this project and I am still committing daily." Another qoute"I joined in April of last year as SCDeveloper working in the shadows on DarkSilk."


Enough of this. I just get pissed if I have to defend what I write. Everyone can read about in another thread, the silk thread.


The main thing is I undestand that devs need to have some income. I understand that devs want to make other coins to get that income. You pay for servers so this coin lives on. What I dont like is that the Crystum is released as the weaver because we have waited for news here for a long time. We  have been holding our coins. Some ppl have invested alot.

Hi Sterlingcoiners, this is Steve. The comments in this post are my own and not Sterlingcoin's as a whole. I am using the Sterlingcoin user because my CryptoCanary account has been hacked and Bitcointalk staff has yet to help me regain the account. Hence the present signature campaign the user is using which is not of my doing. I also do know the person is using my personal account to send PM's and misrepresenting me on other projects. I have proved this to theymos but yet, he fails to see any urgency in someone destroying my name or misleading others using my stolen reputation. If you have received a PM from CryptoCanary in the past month, it is not from me. Please let me know via this user if you have so I can further prove my case to bitcointalk's staff and the urgency of a resolution.

Ok, back to business. I would like to clear up something. "They" have not been working on silkcoin for a year. Spencer has. Matt has been doing work related to the Silk Network presently but, to my knowledge, he has not been doing so for a year. My only involvement was testing darksilk wallets and the functions within and test mining at Spencer's request. Of course I was and am happy to help Spencer and his project succeed.

Myself, I am not an expert on the Silk Network but to the best of my understanding, Weaver is the swap mechanism that will be used to convert silkcoin to darksilk if silk holders choose to do so. Both coins are separate coins and will continue to be so. Silkcoin is being relaunched but still will continue to be its own coin. Weaver is not Cystum nor a pool. These are Matt and Spencer's brain children, Cystum and the Silk Network respectively, and my personal involvement has been minimal with both so I do feel out-of-place representing on their behalf but, I would rather that than questions be flat out ignored. Of course I was more eager to help with Cystum a year or more ago when it was going to be specifically a Sterlingcoin project. I have been urging Matt to include Sterlingcoin so our promises do not fall, at least completely, short. That, in my eyes, is beneficial. I do understand and share the disappointment many of you have expressed here and privately to me.

Sorry if I have answered silk related questions wrongly. Again, I am no expert on the Silk Network. Questions about the silk network would be better placed in the silk thread. At least there developers on the project can better field them. I also apologize for fielding questions related to my colleagues' projects but I do feel Sterlingcoiners do not deserve to be ignored.

Yours truly,
Steven Saxton

EDIT: Here is the new Silk Network thread.

It should be the same because you can mine and get an payout in another coin and you can exchange coins. So the coding should be same as the promised cystum multipool. The only thing is with the weaver you just get silk coin as a payout. We are still waiting for the cystum but I think after over one year it will not benefit this coin in any way.
