standard datadir will NOT work with totalburnt client and totalburnt datadir will NOT work with standard client. In both cases, resyncing from 0 is required.

Thanks for that feature! But in theory you could use the "totalburnt" client for everything and discard the "standard" client, or not?

I'm asking that because it would be a good idea, I think, to create a release candidate for "version 0.5.1" with the newer features you ported to Slim in the last weeks/months (BIP 65, "totalburnt" and - if I remember right - watch addresses). Maybe there's still testing needed, but this way we could pass a new "mini-milestone" and compile binaries etc.

(BTW: Have you seen this post? I was asking if you could provide me your blocknotify script to translate the blockchain to RDF as I have begun to set up a Fuseki node that is planned to hold the Slimcoin blockchain as an alternative to your installation. If it's still not "shareable", no problem ...)

Hi guys, I think that the spirit of Slimcoin must be this, be slim...

Fully agree ...

As proposed muf18, adding a feature to preseved very important files could be an attractive feature for some people and may grow our community. May be if it could be achieved in a parallel block chain and that were optional to support and there were rewards to user for use their nodes (as storj style).

Yep, a (pegged?) sidechain for data would be totally OK. I like the "Drivechain" mechanism a lot, it was proposed for Bitcoin about two years ago. However, it would need a new opcode, and also it would probably need more mining power than we have now.

Another idea would be to use Datacoin as a "not-pegged" data sidechain for Slimcoin and use a BIP-65 enabled atomic cross chain protocol to communicate between both blockchains and trade "datacoin tokens" to Slimcoins. I mean to remember, however, that this would need also a malleability fix (like Segwit of Flextrans).
