gjhiggins, what do you think of that for Facebook cover? I used original logo so there wouldn't be any re-design, just an artwork based on current logo.

You didn't read till the end
 

Yes I did. OS X has a /Library as well as a ~/Library for each user. Your message indicated that you used /Library, not ~/Library.

I have Macintosh HD/Users/dzarmush/ and that's it, no Library there

So make one and the subdirectory SLIMCoin, that's the assumed location of the Slimcoin datadir on OS X:

You didn't read till the end ) That's what I did. But when I start the client it doesn't see these files. I reinstalled the client and interesting thing happened. It continued sync from around block #15000. It was there before I deleted the client. It looks like it stored blockchain somewhere, but not where I put it.

If they give out the reason why they suspended for a few hours trading, and then clear out the whole order book, maybe I would change my mind and today opinion, I don't have any trouble with them, but this isn't open, when you just shut down and reset everything without warning.

“2017-07-14 15:00 - Some orderbooks was accidentally emptied

When removing and adding markets there was a mistake causing some markets to be closed that was not supposed to be closed. When they were activated once again the orderbooks was empty. All orders was automatically cancelled and refunded to users account balances. Sorry for this, luckily only a few active markets was affected by this.”

Where do I put downloaded blockchain files on Mac? They unzip in the same directory as archive and the client doesn't see them.

/Users/dzarmush/Library/Application Support/SLIMCoin

          ^^^ your id here

I also have Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support but no SLIMCoin directory there. I copied it there anyway but it didn't work, the client just continued blockchain sync from where it stopped last time.

newbie miner here, using OSX unfortunately.

I'm using the QT graphical client.

To mine it says I need to enter "setgenerate true" into the console but it doesn't respond back with anything. Is that normal? Just running in the background?

Code:
$ slimcoinbdb48d help setgenerate
setgenerate [genproclimit]
is true or false to turn generation on or off.
Generation is limited to [genproclimit] processors, -1 is unlimited.

If you didn't specify a number of processes limit with genproclimit on the command line or in the config, then you should see slimcoin at the top of the list produced by running top in a terminal.

Also, getmininginfo presents information on number of hashespersec.

Code:
{
    "blocks" : 1043744,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 0.02014334,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "networkghps" : 0.00074582,
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "testnet" : false
}

Cheers

@d5000 - it isn't about 'shitcoin' problem. It's about that yobit sometimes makes unavailable to update chain after hard fork, and they live coin on old chain, which would cause an unusable after hard fork, there were a few problems like this I've seen with yobit. Also they had one coin which had exactly the same name, but have totally different addresses structure thus it was different, and there was a big pump there with it. Just I don't like it, because it sometimes feels like scammers exchange.

Early, publicly-accessible version of ACME block and tx explorer customised for Slimcoin:

http://tessier.bel-epa.com:6053/

I have tried ACME now and it seems to work fine - only address queries seem not to work still, but that should be related to what you said about the still lacking SPARQL strategy for these queries. Thanks again for your work!

Looks good!

About NovaExchange: Doesn't look too professional, although the "exchange rate problem" is solved easily - simply someone must buy 100 SLM for the lowest sell price and we'd a ~1000% bullish change Wink (Unfortunately as of now I have only SLM and LTC on Nova). Maybe it's time to try Bitsquare (now rebranded "bisq") again, until solutions like Blocknet become available. Although I'm pretty skeptic about BIP65, I think it was integrated into a later version than Bitcoin 0.6 (the base for Peercoin/Slimcoin).

I have nothing against Yobit, have used them sometimes for smaller "shitcoins" like COMM and they seem to work fine. The "shitcoin problem" will be there at all exchanges where everybody can list their coins for a fee ...

Also, fwiw, my review of Nova exchange.

T&C's reference Dunkers IT and assert validity under Swedish Law. Some ducking and diving (lol) led me to:

http://listings.findthecompany.com/l/254990000/Dunkers-It-Ab-in-Kping-Sweden <- inaccessible 'cos system problem

“Linus Dunkers runs SCRYPT mining operations here in Sweden, he is also founder of Dunkers IT AB and BTC Sweden”

https://bitjoin.me/2016/04/02/linus-dunkers/

https://www.facebook.com/dunkersitab/

I think it's a reasonable match, can't be bothered to estimate the probability.

Because of whole order book reset there were 2 trades for 150 and 50 satoshi, which are now reported as main exchange rate. For me - bad manipulation. And I thought that this was the first good exchange. Also they didnt respond me about resetting whole order book - they didn't even consider it worthwhile I guess.

If they give out the reason why they suspended for a few hours trading, and then clear out the whole order book, maybe I would change my mind and today opinion, I don't have any trouble with them, but this isn't open, when you just shut down and reset everything without warning.

It's well beyond discussion. Blocknet, the first decentralized exchange, is in testnet and expected to go live in a few weeks.  

However, Blocknet DEX compatible coins will need to be BIP65.  I'm not sure if Slimcoin has BIP65 or what would be involved in upgrading Slimcoin to the standard.


Sorry to sound ignorant, but when this decentralized exchange thing is done a coin's website can link to what to enable people to buy?

A person goes to http://slimco.in/ or http://www.slimcoin.club/ or wherever and there is a page called "Buy Decentrally".

Where does that page lead?


In the soon-to-be-released version, it's my understanding that you would install Blocknet's decentralized exchange on a computer that has wallets running of the coins you plan to trade.  In the next version, you won't have to download the blockchains of any coins and there will be a mobile app for it.

Also, fwiw, my review of Nova exchange. Early on an exchange opened called Nova Exchange. There were obvious problems, they were clearly not suited as an exchange, then they announced they had been hacked and were shutting. Some time later this Nova exchange opened, not sure if the two are the same. At this Nova once I saw an impressive opportunity in one of the order books on a coin that is traded on one other exchange. Once I logged in, the order book changed. The appearance was that possibly they, or somebody, is trading based on who is logged in and what currencies they own. It may be inappropriate to make an accusation like that without proof, and I apologize for that, and it may have been a one off thing, just a coincidence, but I am cautious there. On the other hand, their interface is done extremely well. The amount of effort they put into fine tuning all aspects of the site itself is impressive. If I am mistaken about the first point then their excellent work on the interface by itself is enough to make them a better exchange.

I don't know why, but nova turned off SLM exchaning for a few hours, and then they turned it on, but reset whole order book. We must get to other exchanges, because it's bad behaviour.

Do the community members of Slim want to be included in Coinomi Wallet ? I think there is some fee to pay, so are you willing to pay. I will make some donation, so I would be in.

I'd donate to get added on Cryptopia. But first need to get a decent amount of Slim ) Sell side on Nova is poor.
Anybody interested in selling 200K for 1BTC?

1) The cost to get listed on Cryptopia now is very high, excessive.

2) The ease of getting on exchanges is increasing, and discussion of decentralized exchanges is increasing.

Early, publicly-accessible version of ACME block and tx explorer customised for Slimcoin:

http://tessier.bel-epa.com:6053/

Be gentle, don't keep hammering “refresh”, block emission interval is 90s.

Clicking on the Slimcoin icon+name in the menu bar toggles between mainnet and testnet views. (!!)

Block history menu for testnet is incorrect. Search doesn't yet produce results (need to switch to jsonp style).

I'm still investigating the appropriate SPARQL strategy for retrieving TX details for the address and inscription details for the inscription listing ...

Quote
A SPARQL SELECT query is a strange beast: it queries a graph structure but presents the result as a flat table (technically, it's a sequence of sets of variable bindings, but it amounts to the same thing). Duplicates occur because different combinations of values for your variables can be found by basically following different paths in the graph.

...

Another solution is to split your query in two: do a first query that only selects all unique subjects (and possibly all other values for which you know, in advance, that they will be unique given the subject), then iterate over the result and do a separate query to get the other values you're interested in, for each individual subjectID value. This solution may sound like heresy (especially if you're from an SQL background), but it might actually be quicker and easier than trying to do everything in one huge query.

Much more infrastructure work to be done if ACME is to reach industrial-grade reliablity (failovers, load balancers, backups, etc.). And the services offered could be expanded to include storage and retrieval of metadata pertinent to an inscription (e.g. dc:title, foaf:image).

Some minor work TBD on polishing the model, I made an epistemological error that needs correcting and there are too many apparent constants being recorded, we could easily live without them clogging up the graph.

Cheers

Graham
