You're a good man, Greg! As a thank you, here's a custom mug with your name on it...

Drop me a PM and I'll get it in the post to you.

Ben

Just for info, I've updated the snapshot today. It was two months out of date so I figured it could do with a refresh.

Ben

I've also uploaded a new snapshot, as of this morning.

Should make things a little easier.

Ben

thirstygerry,

Good to see the meeting was productive!

eMail forwarding should now be in place. If you can check for the test eMail, then I'll have the website updated accordingly.

Drop me an eMail about what you had in mind for the other two tasks on the list and I'll see what I can do.

Ben

I imagine he means the donation address in the wallet itself - where users can donate a percentage of their staked coins. I have no idea who owns that address. It's something that should be updated when the wallet is refreshed.

Ben

He's a good lad, that thirstygerry. We should buy him a beer.

The wallet works fine but it's a memory hog. I'm not sure if it's loading the entire blockchain into memory or something but it eats 1.5gb of RAM when it's open. Ideally, that should be fixed.


Possibly, possibly not. Rebranding can sometimes damage an existing reputation, other times it can be a breathe of fresh air and a new lease of life. Personally, I'm not bothered about rebranding it.


All good ideas. I'm happy for the Super I'd kick in to go towards any of these - it doesn't have to be given straight to a dev. If people think it's better used paying a listing fee for an exchange (for example) then go for it.

Well, thirstygerry has set up BTC and ETH wallets for development donations but we could do with a Super one too. I like the idea of paying a dev in Super for the reasons outlined by that poster you quoted - it makes the dev a stakeholder and provides a personal incentive to work on the coin. That said, I've got no problem paying set fees for a freelance developer to implement specific things the community decides on. There are pros and cons to both ways of working.

If the others who offered to donate Super to a development fund are still interested then it would be good to hear from them. I wouldn't expect them to offer the same amount, though - 6 months is a long time in crypto and the recent prices rises mean that 25k Super is now worth quite a few pennies.

I'll match that. At current prices, 20k Super is about $2500. That should get the ball rolling.

It really is. That's what attracted me to this coin in the first place.


You seem to have been around a while. Can you recommend anyone who'd take a fistful of Super to overhaul the wallet?

I can't help with the marketing, but I do have a team of designers that I could ask to produce new logo and branding ideas. The community could vote on which they preferred and the wallet / website updated accordingly. If anyone thinks this is worthwhile, let me know.

In my understanding, it can't stake when it's not synched anyway - it can't insert anything into a blockchain that's not up to date. I'd just completely ignore those ghost transactions and wait until it's finished. Then it should start staking fine.

I'd let it finish synching first and then see what shakes out.

Unfortunately, this is beyond my expertise - but as long as you have the original 'wallet.dat's with your funds then you shouldn't have lost anything; there should be some way to recover them. Hopefully someone who understands this side of things will be along to help.

That said, I imagine it would take it quite a while to rescan the whole blockchain looking for transactions relating to that wallet, though. I'm not sure how the process works.

If it hasn't sorted itself after rescanning then I imagine the safest method would be to remove the blockchain files, make sure the wallet.dat you want to recover is in the folder and then resync from the beginning. I did this last week and a full resync took just under three days.

As long as you don't delete or break your original wallet.dats, you should be able to keep on messing about with copies until you recover your coins.

In the folder that you put the blockchain files in, there's a file called supercoin.conf. Open this in notepad and you'll see a load of lines starting 'addnode='.

Replace them with the nodes from the pages given above or, if it helps, the ones below from mine conf file:

addnode=109.130.48.0
addnode=111.178.133.27
addnode=111.178.134.16

I'm not sure if mine's up to date or comprehensive, but it works. (If someone wants to give a better set of nodes, I can have them added to the website for ease of access.)

With regards to your wallet, I'm not sure what you've done there but be very careful when removing or deleting the wallet.dat file. If it's a fresh wallet install and you haven't used the address, it's not much of an issue - but if you've transferred coins to that wallet and you delete or break the wallet.dat then you lose the coins. This is the same for just about any coin wallet.

There's a link to a windows wallet available on the website (supercoin.nl). I'm unaware of any other wallets currently available but I believe thirstygerry is working on a Linux one.

The best place to buy seems to be here:

https://www.coinexchange.io/market/SUPER/BTC

There is another exchange (Nova) but it doesn't look like people use that.

I think it shines in the way it handles transactions. The speed is fast enough to be usable for commerce - transactions are quick enough to confirm whilst a user is at a checkout page. The transaction fees are also low enough to make the coin viable for low value transactions. You can't use Bitcoin for that any more, the transaction fees are too high. For this reason, to take advantages of SuperCoin's strengths, I'd like to see plugins to allow SuperCoin to be used as a payment method for the most common shopping carts.

No-one. Community members volunteer time and resources if something is required; there is no owner or manager of the coin.


This seems to be a common question but I've yet to understand why. The coin is complete. If the community sees a need for specific development work to be done then a developer could simply be contracted to implement whatever the community decides on.


I imagine it's a bit like when you can't get a good looking girlfriend. You either settle for an ugly one or you buy one from a foreign country. The original one was 'the-node.net' so I consider this one an improvement. The obvious contenders (like .com, .net) were gone. The .nl domain was generously provided by thirstygerry (who you'll see on here) so perhaps he's Dutch. The website is hosted by myself and was thrown together by one of my people. It didn't previously have an active site (the original one was defunct) so, again, I consider this an improvement. If anyone wants to provide a better looking website, they are more than welcome to - I only sorted this one out because I'm community minded and like to help.


A dev to do what and a plan to do what? The coin already works. As far as I can tell, it does exactly what it set out to do; it provides extremely fast, low cost transfers with an optional anonymous transaction method that still appears to be better than any other method I've seen - although I'm no expert. If people have ideas for improvements or new functionality then they can suggest them. If there's enough demand for them then the community can look at hiring a dev to implement specific proposals. Personally, I'd like to see the wallet improved as currently - although it works just fine - it's a bit of a memory hog. Other than that, what development would you like to see?

That's correct, yes.

Makes sense. SUPER is now the 4th most traded coin on that exchange's BTC markets with 30% more volume than ETH.

Its current volume would place it 16th on Poloniex BTC markets and is greater than their bottom 25 coins combined. It's certainly got the volumne now to be carried by other exchanges.

Might be worth someone giving the other exchanges a prod.

That's what attracted me to it in the first place a couple of years ago. It was, and still is, undervalued considering a) the utility of the coin and b) the residual income it can provide.
