Lets put it to a vote to switch algo then - the logical choice being SHA-256 like Bitcoin and Peercoin. I think I would actually vote yes on that.

Oh, and NOMP server has finally accepted the first DCrypt block!

Code:
2014-10-27 19:55:45 [Pool]      [slimcoin] (Thread 1) Submitted Block using submitblock successfully to daemon instance(s)
2014-10-27 19:55:45 [Pool]      [slimcoin] (Thread 1) Block found: 00000002762cab5802109aa37cf8c5f08c77cde1611a017c3e3e130eea352695

Excellent news and great work!

Dcrypt algo and CPU mining is OK with me! Someone will eventually find a way to mine it with a GPU or ASIC + CPU / RAM combo and cpu coin pools will always have problems from botnets obviously.

Anyway, herewith a single CPU instance at RunAbove - http://labs.runabove.com/power8/ - Not totally sure on the billing in comparison to other cloud server providers, but those are certainly some powerful core(s).



If you follow my set-up guide from this thread remember to use screen.

See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613213.msg9330074#msg9330074

Code:
screen

before you start mining using:

Code:
./minerd -a dcrypt -o stratum+tcp://www.slimcoin.club:41680 -u YOUR SLIMCOIN WALLET ADDRESS -p x --scantime 15 --retries -1 -t 1


You can then (press and hold) CTRL + A + D to get out of the screen session. Then type exit and press enter to close the terminal, although continue mining Slimcoin.

...

If you log back in to the terminal type: screen -r and Enter to check that your still mining Slimcoin.

If you need to stop mining Slimcoin type: sudo killall minerd and press enter.

To restart mining type / repeat only steps:

Code:
cd slimminer

Code:
screen

Code:
./minerd -a dcrypt -o stratum+tcp://www.slimcoin.club:41680 -u YOUR SLIMCOIN WALLET ADDRESS -p x --scantime 15 --retries -1 -t 1
