Hi Slothcoin fan,

Sometimes it might be good to take the time and to actually read a thread, or two, for some members, before spreading FUD. Or share misinformation.

First of all, about the reborn Slothcoin dot org. It was only recently registered again and it is not at all looking like something that Timo made years ago.

The original Slothcoin creator Timo moved to a new project a couple of years ago. It is all in the thread for you to read. In the one Timo made and the one I made for the announcement of the community fork.

Version 1.3.1.3 is a fork of version 1.3.0.0 and has some changes. Like a lower amount of Slothcoin to be released. About 92 billion instead of a 100 billion. So, more rare, SLOTH maybe even could cripple ripple, you never know.

Also the difficulty adjustment was changed to get our beloved Slothie out off high diff more easily. As it did get stuck in the past, but after the update Slothcoin was moving Sloth and steady.

And the block reward inflation was changed in such a way that Slothcoin can be POW mined for a 4321 SLOTH reward until the year 2021. More or less.

Currently it is at block 670xxx and moving on nicely as a lot of nodes are connected. And the market price is going up. Now who would have expected that?

Now, me and other Slothies have been putting a lot of time and effort to get it on a Faucet and to promote it. Also I wanted to create a webadres to have a landing spot for the long term. As many Crypto forks have a site that works for a year and then disappears. Slick dot CF is already online for years. And I will update some info there too.

While Slotchoin dot org was dead for years, only revived apparantly since 28th of november 2017, the Slothcoin fork got a new home.

Not only did the Slothies community put time and effort in, we also gave away millions in SLOTH to spread the wealth. And there were handouts of millions of SLOTH at SteemIt dot com.

It took a lot of time and effort to get it to where it is now. That was started by Timo and moved on by the Slothies community.

At some point I decided to throw the towel in the ring. This was after I suggested to move Slothcoin to a blockchain like Bitshares. It was a suggestion, but due to some negative responses I decided to stop putting my precious time and energy into it.

But, I just can not stand it when people just spread Fear, Uncertanty and Doubt. All they have to do is take some time to read the thread(s). It is all there, also me announcing stepping back!

And the invite to the Slothies to pick it up. Looking at how it is getting mined right now tells me that it is going places. Therefore I am happy, even though I gave away most of the SLOTH I mined myself.

All those nodes connected are in consensus by the way over the right version. And that is 1.3.1.3 as is the actuall Windows executable that is shared at the renewed Slothcoin dot Org. And it is a x86 version, 32 bit and for your information, I share this about it:

File Version Information

Copyright   2009-2015 The Bitcoin developers, 2014-2015 The Slothcoin developers
Product   Slothcoin-Qt
Description   Slothcoin-Qt (OSS GUI client for Slothcoin)
Original Name   Slothcoin-qt.exe
Internal Name   Slothcoin-qt
File Version   1.3.1.3

There is no new version coming up, as far as I know. Chances are you have been using version 1.3(.1 build 3) all this time already. As it this is the third year ongoing since the fork got consensus by the Slothcoin network.

Really did not want to respond actually, but I just am very allergic to misinformation and FUD.

Who ever recently registered Slothcoin dot org again I do not know, but it does actually offer the right version for Windows: Slothcoin 1.3.1.3. and the right links.

Wish you a great new year, and may the Sloth be with you!

With kind regards,

Oldambster
