Re: [ANN] Slimcoin : Proof of Burn NEW BLOCK GEN, Mineable by low power computer!

So for a mining noob, how do I mine this coin?

Get the wallet, run it and get an address + sync.
get the miner, here's an example .bat file:

minerd -o stratum+tcp://pool.slimcoinpool.com:3333 -u ADDRESS -p x -t NUMBERofThreads(Cores, double that if hyperthreaded)
you can one of the other pools, but this pool is the easiest, no signup necessary.
Simply replace the "ADDRESS" with the address in your Slimcoin wallet, and NUMBERofThreads with the amount of CPU threads you want mining., save it as a .bat file in the same folder as the miner, and run it.
I'm terrible at explaining things, so if you need more help, I'm sure someone else in the community can explain better than I.

Dev, if you could update the compiled wallets to the newest version, that would be amazing, my only issue with the coin currentlyare:
   1: The CPU usage while it's open.
   2: It takes a while to open, while others open nearly instantly.

Otherwise, great coin!

I'll put in .2 btc to hire @whatsthisweekscoin if anybody thinks its worth it

Proof of Burn is genius, self destructive troll board member or not.

I'd say we need to be on at least another commonly used exchange, Poloniex, Bittrex or Mintpal, but please not Cryptsy, that's where coins go to die.

I fail to see how a GPU miner saves this coin, it being CPU-only is an equalizer for most people, I imagine Primer is using either a botnet, or an expensive, hired set of machines, hinted earlier by how expensive it was, which I suppose was a clever tactic while the price was high.

This coin needs marketing, it easily has the capacity to be 0.001BTC/coin with the combination of innovation in fairly equal mining between all parties.

Primer is no longer actively mining to my knowledge, judging by posts, he's moving to a Cryptonight coin, likely Monero, and has several dual slot 8, and 12 core Xeon rigs. It is up to us to market the coin.

Also consider, that anything can mine a CPU algo, it could be compiled for your smartphone or tablet, Raspberry Pi, or other ARM board with some effort.

Any news on the Chronokings Crypto/Game?
This was supposed to only be an experimental coin to test Chronokings features, is it still being developed?

I've bought some slim coins and I'd like to try and do some proof-of-burn, can someone give me a brief overview of how to do this?
thanks

Open the wallet, stay on the line, waiting.
That's proof of stake, there should be a "burn coins" tab, can't access the wallet atm to confirm, but should be something like that. Just choose amount to burn, and click the burn button.
If you have more than 20 burned, you'll probably occasionally gain 0.1 coins or so from it like I do.
It's not worth it unless you've bought a decent amount.

Now Primer, if you want this damn coin to get anywhere, host a giveaway somewhere, or a faucet.
You can clearly afford it.

There's no issues with the coin now to my knowledge, and the dev endeavored to fix issues when they existed.
Innovation usually comes with a price, that price is bugs, trying something new, will generally result in issues.

What this coin didn't have was, and is marketing, it's relatively unknown on exchanges besides BTER, we need to get on Poloniex or Mintpal to get anywhere.

trading @bter is open again
I hope primer- cares about this coin enough to not simply dump it all, considering how much of the total coins I imagine they have.

Why slimcoin wallet use so much CPU?

It used to use less, I imagine it's part of the fork-prevention, look through the code and fine out for us if you're willing.

So the coin has proof of stake now then?
I haven't seen any proof of burn from my 25 effective coins for a while, only stake.
I imagine that's due to only having 25, I used to get one proof of burn payout/day aprox.

Edit: As a side note, I heard something about BTER resuming trading?
And primer, is it profitable to mine @ 0.8khash for $0.007/hour per instance?
I'm using digitalocean with multiple single CPU instances, as they'e cheaper than just going for 4 cores.

i i want to use a Server wit 2 CPU do i need to compile the Miner with different MARCH Settings?
I use a Server with 2 Xeon X5570 but only get 8 Threads(Should be 16). Compiled with the MARCH Flags from the Minerd Readme.
Can anyone help?


Run two processes with -t 8, use task manager to set affinity, so that each process uses 8 /different/ threads.

PoS: 445?
Why?
Relaunch?
Dev: what are the details of the pos?


All is explained in the whitepaper in regards to how the PoS, or PoB (Proof of Burn) works, the relaunch started at block 15000 from memory, before the worst of the forks occurred, as there were many people who seriously invested in the coin, and it had been traded at BTER, and likely will resume soon, people may want to start mining while diff is low.

Anyway, here's a template for a p2p mining .bat file for the lazy, use with slimminer:

A relaunch sounds reasonable, I imagine the Slimcoin dev will need to do it as quickly as possible though, make a new thread, post a link to it at the end of this thread, get this one locked, and relaunch with the fixes applied to block 16000 with a few master nodes.

Assuming you launch quickly (today if possible), the people that paid for essentially a mining farm for this coin, will not have too high of losses.

primer-, out of curiousity.
You seem to have been attacking the coin previously, yet boasting of a hash-rate above what most of us have.
Is this goading to stop mining yet another means for you to profit?

I'm waiting for official notice from the dev before I take you seriously.
There's been instructions on this forum for a while now, allowing anyone who bothers to read, to sync correctly.
Are you going to use that high amount of khash to solo, after you successfully fool people into stopping mining?
I believe this is the case, and there's no evidence to disprove me currently.

Re: Vertcoin | Scrypt N | Beat ASIC | Stealth Address - Alpha Testing
by

on 13/06/2014, 07:05:30 UTC
lol Anyone could comprehensibly explain why ASIC resistance is an advantage for a coin?

I believe ASIC has much more advantages as compared with video card and the new technology aka ASIC should displace the ancient method of mining. Just few reason to argue my words:
- environment friendly
- secure the network by increasing the difficulty
- more comfortable to use at home
etc....


Some of us aren't incredibly rich, so we cannot afford ASICs, or we do not use cryptocurrencies as our main income.
With ASICs, most of the coins go to the rich people with ASIC farms, the rest of us can only buy coins, mining yields very little for someone without an ASIC farm, if ASICs are available for that algo.
With CPU/GPU-only mining, the entry point of a profit above "enough to pay the power bill each month", and to possibly even break even on that hardware cost in under a year, is available to most of us.
ASICs exponentially get more powerful often, usually by the time an ASIC ships, it's already outdated, and a new generation of much more powerful ASICs are released.

Consumer CPUs and GPUs also have easy consumer availability, it's easy to find a trustworthy source.

I'm terrible at explaining things, so hopefully this makes sense.

As a question, why clone Slimcoin this early? The Slimcoin dev has still yet to fix a few bugs, and I doubt this clone fixes them, it will have the same issues.
