SFR Informational Post
Updated: 19 November 2015

With some more activity in this thread, and the coin added back to Bittex, it's time for an update again. This is an ongoing post I have been making to fill in the blanks from the first post by the dev, as it is a mess of dead links, and bad pools.

SFR Healthcheck

Sha - Healthy. Regularly generates blocks as per coin specs. A pool can be found here: http://ispace.co.uk/coindetails/?coin=sfr
Blake - Healthy. Regularly generates blocks as per coin specs. A pool can be found here: https://www.miners-pool.eu/#!/pools/saffroncoin
Groestl - Healthy. Regularly generates blocks as per coin specs. A pool can be found here: https://www.miners-pool.eu/#!/pools/saffroncoin-groestl
Scrypt - Not healthy. Blocks are not being found due to high difficulty. A pool can be found here: http://p2pool.e-pool.net:8967/static/
x11 - Not healthy. Blocks are not being found due to high difficulty. No X11 pools available for some time now.

The great strength of multi-algo coins, is that that despite 2 algorithms being in poor health, 3 have been in continuous good health since the coin was launched, meaning blocks still generate, the block chain keeps moving, and transactions get processed. Multi-algo coins have always been under appreciated, and Saffroncoin is probably the best one out there, despite the lack of progress from the dev in recent months and a low price, it is still fundamentally a solid, well developed coin.

Members of the community are still running nodes, we are still mining the coin, and some people are even still buying. Pretty much everything this coin needs to do to survive, someone who posts in this thread has it covered. It's amazing to see so much support of this coin still about. Thanks to everyone who keeps this thing afloat. Shout out to Kid Brook especially for keeping so many working nodes up and running.

Mining Rewards

The current block reward is 21 SFR. Each algo is targeted to generate a block every 450 seconds. Each algo therefore can produce 4032 coins per day, for 20160 total new coins a day across all 5 algos. The actual amount of new coins a day is less than this, as X11 and Scrypt is not being mined. The true number of new coins a day is about 12k a day as things stand.

Nodes

If you are having trouble getting your wallet to sync, you can use the following nodes:
addnode=23.229.124.34:19717
addnode=23.95.112.227:19717
addnode=23.95.112.118:19717
addnode=23.95.112.228:19717
addnode=198.46.156.221:19717
addnode=23.95.112.219:19717
addnode=23.94.12.100:19717
addnode=172.245.56.167:19717
addnode=192.210.135.149:19717

Tools

Block Explorer
Standard block explorer (with rich list etc.)

Difficulty Chart
Shows difficulty of all 5 algos on 1 graph. Recommend changing view setting to only the most recent 10,000 blocks to make sense of it.

Mining Breakdown
Shows the % of blocks being mined by each algo over the past 500 blocks. Also shows you who is mining the coin.
