Re: [ANN] Slimcoin : Proof of Burn NEW BLOCK GEN, Mineable by low power computer!
Hi Mr E!
Nice to have you aboard the development team - unfortunately you are the only member:)
Though you are based on your self-assessment no main dev, it could be tremendously valuable to do bug fixes and testing.
I don't know why, but Slimcoin is not dead yet. The block chain is running. Some nodes are on the network.
Maybe it can be kept alive long enough to arouse interest of somebody capable of being main dev.
It would be a pity to see this Proof of Burn approach to secure a block chain end this way.
So welcome, amongst this bunch who haven't given up hope!
Yay.
I would say that a123 was doing a good job as developer before the end of the year came around -- perhaps he'll show up again as the new year starts rolling. Here's hoping...
I think the priority for a new dev - or "slimcoin" or "a123" if they come back - would be to follow closely the development of Peercoin 0.5, which will be based on a newer codebase (the BTC 0.6 base of actual SLM is pretty old, there are a lot of useful commands missing) and merge the new peercoin code with SLM.
I've been thinking about this while trying to get the build working, and I wholeheartedly agree -- it would be ideal if we can rebase our code off either the latest bitcoin, or peercoin if they're reasonably up-to-date with bitcoin-core. Perhaps I can look at how much work that will be, once I get the current version building...
