- Komodo Barter Dex - requires some coding to make coin compatible, exchange launch date unknown

This was the one I was referencing earlier. It's a reasonably promising outlook. The requirement is for an Electrum server connected to a Slimcoin node (many-to-one via ssl-tunnelled API calls is not forbidden but for robustness, each should have its own node) and an Electrum client that can connect to one of a number of Electrum servers. That gets you a “burnless” Slimcoin SPV wallet.

It's all in Python, a fact that has its pros and cons ....

$ sudo ./electrum-server start
Starting server as daemon
$ tail -f /var/log/electrum.log

Done.

As you may discern, this is one instance where a strongly-typed compiled language such as C++ would have an edge in minimising the number of generically unhelpful error messages caused by what might be argued as cavalier handling of runtime exceptions.

I'm working on it.
