anyone can tell me how to use the meshnet?

By this way, you can get a cold wallet, you just need to generate the address offline, and backup the seed and address.

Get client working, generate addresses, then verify that Skycoin transactions are working

For Windows:
    
Install virtual box
get mint with mate desktop
install

Linux:
    
For APT based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, ...) type :

sudo apt-get install curl git mercurial make binutils gcc bzr bison libgmp3-dev -y

OSX:
brew install mercurial bzr


Setup Skycoin:

Open a terminal window and type :

git clone https://github.com/skycoin/skycoin.git
cd skycoin
./setup

The last command will install a Go version manager and the current Go version, it will also take care of downloading all the dependencies. 
Now it is setup

Generating Addresses, public keys, private keys:

To get help and options for the address generation command type in console :

go run ./cmd/address_gen/address_gen.go --help

To generate 5 addresses deterministically from a password seed :
    
go run ./cmd/address_gen/address_gen.go -seed="passphrase" -n=5

The above command will print the public key, the private key and the address, if you only want to show the addressess put the p and s parameters to false as in :
    
go run ./cmd/address_gen/address_gen.go -seed="passphrase" -n=5 -p=false -s=false

Deterministic wallets are good, because you cannot lose the private keys as long as you remember the password. however, you should use a good password, or a random SHA256 hash and write it down somewhere

A good password may be some (more than 12) space separated random words, this is both strong and convenient for storage purposes (printed), it will also be easier to type if required at some point. Please do note that in the example code passphrase is used, but wouldn't be a good password candidate.

Running Skycoin Full Node: 
    
go run ./cmd/skycoin/skycoin.go -web-interface=true
then goto: 127.0.0.1:6420
     
./run.sh


also, to generate wallets and pubkeys
go run ./cmd/address_gen

to run wallet (which is probably broken)
./run.sh

also maybe more exchange platforms?

when you have a transactions, then you have a block, otherwise, no block.

There is no POW or POS blocks are only generated when they are needed. Synth can probably explain more.

Ask a dev on telegram.

Can someone explain me how blocks work in Skycoin?

The time between them is so random.

Also is it possible to password protect our wallets? I don't see the option.

Hi there, is there a way to generate a "cold" wallet? I mean a private/public key combination that I can store in a text file only?

still one of the most innovative project in crypto world.

should already as high as LTC.

just timing.

Fasten your seatbelts... I'm going to buy today 

Developement needs to occur first before we can moon. Also we need a high volume exchange.

About that...

I would love to see skycoin on bittrex.

Price taking a big hit. 2nd ico investors are at a significant loss now.

we need ''better'' exchanges (top ones)

and some PR

We got one of the best coins and dev team, but we need some marketing

There are too much discussion about the shit distribution, but the devs think there is no better one.

Submission idea for sky coin..

skywire hours token is used on the network for time on the network

skywire token has a fixed price and fixed supply, only release on future ICO as a bonus

or if the skywire supply= 0

skycoin developer team use skycoin supply as backing coin for the skywire token..


eg. skywire hours fixed price 10cents each= 1 hours of use.
      Skycoin fiat price is a dollar USD

(convert)   one skycoin = 10 skywire hours

So if the price of skycoin decreases the skyteam  would need to pay out more skycoin when the people converting skywire to skycoin..

eg. skycoin at .50 cents and skywire fixed price at 10cents usd..

(convert) 10 skywire tokens = 2 sky coins now..

This method would need skycoin team to lockup skycoin insurance against the variable skycoin price..

They win if skycoin is higher when people converting back to skycoin and loose when it is lower..

ICO raised 5million coin supply, they could airdrop 1 million skywire hours tokens.. and back it with their own supply..



Here is the genius of the ICO.. next following ones could also give the buyers x amount of skywire coins.. but not for the developers being paid skycoin..


next ICO could raise another million skycoin and also give the bonus of skywire coins of 250k...


There was some talk of doing award system in skywire token for holding skycoin... I believe doing so you have just destroy the famous no POS or POW system...


I submit this feature instead and let the running nodes get the rewards for making the network run fast.. a special nodes just for pushing data holding data should get rewards..   again the rich would not win for just hoarding coins..


Additional comment..

question what would be the economics of having a fiat stable  skycoin to a fixed priced token..

skycoin would have a better price because coin would be locked up in skywire hours because when skywire price increases on the market skywire token becomes cheaper then in protecting the value one would would lock in the skycoin pric by converting into skywire wire token..

(skywire would have to have a time lock like steam power for x amount of days..)

This would cause the effect of people not dumping skycoin on a panic sells in the market, and encourage longer term investment..

The only coin that has this function would be only skycoin... If we started to add bitcoin gateway into the mix this would be very bad for skycoin.. I remember STORJ doing something like this...

BTC would need a market price convert into skycoin...

By doing this the market would be confident that skycoin developers are not on a get rich scheme holding onto 90% of the coins..

but backing and risking their own supply by giving investor a price for their skycoin..


Talk is always cheap, actions speak louder then words...


like others I have btc waiting in other coins, good project maybe but a year is long time in the crypto world to wait and see..

our profit is slipping away everyday because loss of confidence of the value of skycoin..

Lol, based on gnosis price this can still moon
