Slothcoin 1.3.1 [build 2] has been released.
Currently only GNU-Linux binaries and sourcecode available
All data available at
www.slick.cf/coin/slothMay the Sloth be with you!
i'm using windows so cant try it out yet.
but wow so much activity, sloth is moving fast, thanks for taking it up
I also have some suggestions, if there is going to be a hard fork seems a good time to improve and address some other issues affecting our sloth
Has coincontrol been added in the new build? would be really helpful maintaining our wallet.dat
difficulty adjustment? can DGW from DASH be implemented? from what i understand its currently the most advanced of the KGW, and fixes the issues with earlier versions of KGW which i think will fix the Sloth problem of long delays in finding the next block after large hash hits and then leaves after pushing difficulty up really high.
New ANN page, unlikely we get an updated OP here so it would good to have new thread that can be updated and reflect current status, info, exchanges, partners etc on sloth.
Thank you for thinking with me on this.
The focus of this build was mainly to get the figure of MAX_COIN fitting int64 limits and the reward system to match.
You could give it a go, on the current build, if you have some knowledge of VirtualBox and get Ubuntu/Lubuntu, or maybe even Debian, going in there, should do the trick. More about downloading:

https://app.box.com/s/89m5is5k0oth03pe2yub56nj9wqjkjwvAllready digging into making a WinX version, but this could take a while... Still hope somebody will pick up the challenge, besides me. It'd be better if a team were working on Sloth. So if anybody wants to be added as a collaborator at Github just Telegram.me / Oldambtster. (Telegram is a free messaging system works on all possible systems: telegram.org)
To answer your questions:
- Cointcontrol has not been added. (Will have to dig into that as well, first.)
- Difficulty adjustment should be looked at, noticed this severe problem. It should alter the high difficulty and lower it after a certain time. Have to look into DGW, if that solves the problem.
- A new ANN could be done in the near future, but only if this version takes off, could then be considered as a hard fork.
First thing to implement would be fixing the stuck blockchain after high difficulty. But any of that would not be of any use if there isn't someone that will make a WinX build.
Still, there is some time left. Otherwise the last version 1.3.0 would stay active, and I'll have to pull back 1.3.1 before block 300K.
(The real challenge for the unsigned 'int64' limit starts at 4 billion Slothcoin after block 300K has been mined.)
So Sloth we go.
Note: Diff. recalc will change from block 300K. From 2 to every block.
