So I know it's a lot of work, but if you have time could you keep us updated on what you're working on? Especially since this was already abandoned by one developer, I think keeping people updated on progress could do a lot for interest in the coin.
Well, for what it's worth, I'm hoping to work on implementing the 'coin control' features from the current bitcoin core into slimcoin as time permits. Don't expect it in a hurry, though, as I'm still wrestling with getting my build environment to work properly.
I don't know anything about what a123 is working on.
Is it speed 1.5 khash normal for i5-2540M?
Well, it sounds around the right size. With the standard GUI client, I get around ~ 0.5khash/sec per core on a 3GHz core2.
PS - so my slimcoin-qt has been stable for the last few days; and I haven't been using that computer a lot over that time. Coincidence?
guess I'll find out over the weekend, since I'll be using it more again.
