Abvhiael, good to see you post, hope you're feeling better and getting back on your feet. Please post SOIL wallet address.

thanks. so far the new medications have been working well and im able to start thinking again, which has been nice. (laughs) drooling idiot and me doesnt work so well. my original foundation address at 0xe46731382fbc47621a6c480d4b6118026bbbcb3a should still work, although i have to update my gsoil software once i hear back from marty as to the state of our protocols.

Sorry haven't followed up in a bit. Work has been crazy. I still have the basic website for soil up www.cryptosoil.com, but was having trouble building out some of the links. I used Weebly to save time, but some simple features seem glitchy and having trouble making direct edits to the code as a work around. I think all we need at this point is to have clean links to the ANN OP, the latest wallets, the BE, and maybe to link to an updated BE bootstrap so new users can get synched faster. I will try fix this week. If anyone is interested in trying to work on website, PM me.

i can build out a website using the templates i have from the old one with updates from the industry specific stuff in teh OP. would be nice to have a blog on the page as well. part of the problem after peter left was losing the website and trying to build on a free site again.
https://www.one.com/ has a fairly cheap domain registry and hosting, and we could get www.soilco.in for $16 CDN (a little over 0.01BTC)

a solid hosting will allow dApp developers to have their appplications accessible thru the SOILcoin website. (such as SOILex, which could push towards a hosted page at soilco.in )

I'm also in for trying to get community reserve built up again. Looking forward, could we fork the code so that 5-10% of new blocks goes into a development fund? This seems to be working really well for DASH. Their block rewards are mined with a distribution that goes 45% to miners, 45% to masternodes (holders of 1000+ dash can run a masternode) and 10% into community fund. Masternodes then vote on community projects. They are able to do a heavy marketing push because they are well funded and able to mobilize with this system of governance. I think SOIL should transition to a similar approach if possible. No eth-based coin is doing this yet to my knowledge.

a development fund can also be funded by setting up a benchmark transaction in the blockchain protocol which would mint a specific amount on a regular basis to a wallet with 2of3 multisig protection. this can be used to fund developers or projects or giveaways or whatnot. these benchmarks can also be used to provide protection from the attacks that took down Kr and others, ensuring that the blockchain remains valid by signing off on the developers benchmark fund. the only human requirement on that is dedication to making sure those txs are signed in a timely manner, but im sure a happy medium can be found even there.

Listing on exchange should definitely be the priority. Once up, I'll buy some and donate. It's kind of crazy SOIL isn't listed. More work to do, but further along then a lot of other coins that are listed.

its still a very healthy EVM progammable blockchain, and with the developments made on a lot of dApps on ETH and ETC, a great number of smaller projects can be built onto the SOIL architecture to provide those services that were in the original vision. what SOIL *DOES PROVIDE* is a CLEAN BLOCKCHAIN that doesnt have the problem of possible cross-chain interruptions for ETH-ETC based contracts that may have separate chain originators making calls on contracts on the shared part of the chain. and at the ROCK BOTTOM PRICES that SOIL sits at now, the cost of computational gas has never been cheaper!!

i agree though that we need the exchanges up and running, and i think that we should get the homestead protocols running and have proper executables for new wallets and a functioning and up to date MIST clone, and present a new forked and stable protocol to bring to the exchanges. now that ethereum is a staple cryptocurrency, most of the exchange operators have had experience in setting up ETH-based wallets, which was part of the trouble getting onto a few of the exchanges when we launched... this week ill get up to date on where our protocol is and start to set up exchange campaigns and communications with exchanges again and see where we can get things started up again.
