I watched over CMC today, looks like it updates pretty often now.

Thanks dzarmush! I see the transaction on my client. But you're right, on Bchain.info it doesn't show up. They have often problems like addresses and transactions that are giving HTTP errors.

I've looked at getpeerinfo and spotted them (they are behind the well-known 5.9.39.9 node) and it shows that they're using an older client (0.4.1) - maybe that is the explanation? Should we contact them to upgrade to 0.5?

Anyway, I'll use the generous tip as an incentive to set up a 24/7 node (I had one running on a VPS, but it frequently crashed other services on the server and so I was forced to shut it down) and then provide an ACME instance once it's ready.

Try here: http://tessier.bel-epa.com:99999/main/addr/SV9ekTqtBbd81eVXGS7DLtKxVzCNJH6f1K <- s/99999/6054/


I've not seen that before and it's not something that I'd want to ignore without knowing the reason. More info needed (anonymised) on how much RAM is free and whether the client is intensively staking, etc.

I have not yet been proved correct in projecting that my maxed-out Slimcoin node will fall behind the chain. It's decidedly busy and seems reluctant to respond to impertinent enquiries about its state of health but it is still synced ... (edited for brevity):

Nearly three minutes to respond to a JSON-RPC command!

Obviously more relaxed at the w/e, two minutes 30s to respond to a JSON-RPC command.

It is still staking like a champ so, to continue the experiment, I'm planning to give it a bit more CPU “oomph” ...

The Slimcoin node is not the only node hosted on our server, it also hosts Minkiz, somewhere around a dozen coin nodes (3 of 'em Slimcoin nodes), *two* instances of ACME (try port 5059: in progress, awaiting me running the scripts to create the RDF graph), an instance of Fuseki, a couple of Abe instances and an Iquidus explorer (that's just off the top of my head).

The i5 that's been doing duty as our server for the last three years is somewhat overdue for replacement. It costs me around 34EUR a month and I can actually upgrade to a faster i7-3770, 32Gb RAM, 2*1Tb HD and save nearly two whole EUR at 32.7EUR a month -

https://www.hetzner.com/sb <- dial the RAM to 32Gb and CPU Benchmark to 9000, choose from there

Thus far it has cost us around 1200 EUR for 3 years of serving web sites, databases, coin nodes, etc. - we wouldn't have been able to fund a bricks'n'mortar outlet, *that's* for sure.

Got some plans for exploiting this edge more intensively, I shall probably start the migration prep over the w/e,

fwiw, I have configured my crontab to cycle over three coins enabling PoW generation for a 10 minute period each (2 per hour). It used to be 4 coins each getting 15 mins but last November, after its upgrade to a masternode codebase, I removed Chaincoin from the setup when the significant increase in diff rendered 15mins of mining inadequate.

(So, why PNut, CHC, FC and RLT? - Pnut was just an overlooked primecoin clone, I wanted to try out prime generation on my lappie and enjoyed building myself up to be a *major* bagholder - which is what happens when there are just 4 nodes in the network. c11 is the same as x11, except that two algos are switched in the ordering, so all the comments about how well x11 does on GPU also apply to c11 and I thought that one day, people might cotton on - that one didn't pan out *quite* as expected but I shan't complain. FC was criticised as a PITA for swapping out *all* the SHA256 for Fugue, not just the PoW hash, and, you never know, it might be the last altcoin standing if SHA256 gets significantly compromised. RLT was horrendously misnamed by a hapless dev and consequently dismissed by the breathlessly avaricious as a lame clone of Litecoin aimed at the gambling industry whereas the roulette reference was to a random choice of algo: https://github.com/roulettecoin/roulettecoin/blob/master-0.8/src/roulette.h which made it quite CPU-friendly to mine. At some point, I will investigate whether RLT can be nursed along Litecoin's subsequent development path to arrive at a segwit-enabled Bitcoin Core version, same with FC. Ofc, they'll both handle OP_RETURN and so each could have its own click-deployable associated ACME adaptation.)

Ok. So I know it's a bit early to say this, but I thought we (as a community), with some registered 'entity' (like Slimcoin foundation), could go to Consensus 2018. What do you think about it? Of course most of the elements should be implemented then. Now question to Graham - would you go? And who wants to go? I'm 100% sure I would go.

I looked here https://bchain.info/SLM/addr/SV9ekTqtBbd81eVXGS7DLtKxVzCNJH6f1K

For some reason I started seeing this is the left bottom corner of my 0.5 Mac wallet:

I've adjusted the Slimcoin instance of ACME, adding the given address as #3 in the drop-down menu (hover the mouse to see a pop-up giving the actual address). The tx is showing up. (And has made me think *very* hard about orphans and chain reorganisations w.r.t. blocknotify)

(I know the tx layout doesn't make sense. All the components are there but their relationship is not clearly expressed.)

Sent. Although I don't see it on the blockchain yet, only on Nova withdrawal page.

.md are Markdown files - this is a simple text format you can edit with every text editor. It provides some simple formatting functions (bold, codeblocks, lists etc.) with much simpler code than HTML. In the main directory of the website on Github I have left some very basic instructions how they can be translated. Maybe I should expand them a bit.


If you want to tip me you can send SLM to the following address: SV9ekTqtBbd81eVXGS7DLtKxVzCNJH6f1K . However, I think 10K is too generous And another person also seems to have communicated with Coinmarketcap providing them the link to the current thread - but I don't know who (s)he was.

CMC seems now also to update the circulating supply correctly, but it is not done every 5 minutes but more like once or twice per day, it seems. But for me that is OK ...

Your balance will show up

So wallet started staking finally but my balance disappeared?
Is it still there and not showing up?
Not sure what to do.... I've only unlocked my wallet...

Cool, I'm gonna read it next week. I don't know what is .md and how to open it )

Not a while ago I wanted to send 10K Slim to someone who would fix CMC. Where do I send it, d5000?

I didnt respond to beatcoin and they closed my ticket? Should I renew it?

You're in luck, there's a README

Cheers

Graham

Guys, can u tell me plz, what's the benefits of ur coins, but not on the "press release" language?

Sweet thanks, just needed patience lol.

walletpassphrase password 99999999999999999

Normally after 1-2 min you should see that your wallet is unlocked

Ah kk will be patient then @gavrilo77 - Thanks!

@gjhiggins - do I need to start the command & then the 8 days starts or after? Thanks.

Also I'm not sure if the wallet lock/unlock is working, I enter the command correct but it doesn't really respond and the GUI graphics don't indicate if it's unlocked.

See pic below (obviously I entered the correct pass above it in the code but just to show)

My wallet started to stake after 9 days, so just wait a few days more

The command

setgenerate true n will create one or more separate threaded processes devoted to mining Slimcoin. n is the number of threads to be started.

Coins are alleged to start staking after around 8 days (the precise value is in the source code).

A non-zero value assigned to reservebalance will disable staking of coins to that amount.

balance - reservebalance = staking amount

Cheers

Graham
