I just noticed bter is back up (I dont have any funds on there) is everyone's balance showing up?

https://twitter.com/btercom

"We are preparing for the withdrawals. CNY, USD and NXT withdrawals will be handled first."

looks like they are not trying to screw people...

BTC is showing up, none of my altcoin balances are available yet. Looks like they actually will be coming back though just based on BTC being there.

How many coins are in existence right now? And what was the last price?


I haven't been following everything too closely, but assuming slimcoin.club is correct (and I think it is), there are 2151115 SLM total. You can see it by going to slimcoin.club then clicking brainwallet, and just typing any random string in key generation.


sorry, I have no idea what the last price was.

Very interesting developments, thanks gjhiggins!

Now if we decide to hard fork: It's true what rfcdejong says, it could weaken the network. It would be nice to have some kind of "census" of active slimcoin users, or even better, to have an own forum to coordinate the protocol switch. Well, at least we have a reddit, it's pretty inactive but could be used for these cases: http://www.reddit.com/r/slimcoin/ I've seen at least some recent post have been made ... things are getting better.

I am a bit delayed with my little "PoB report" project but expect to launch it next week. Will announce it here and at Reddit.

A forum would be good but I bet most people would look here first for any important updates.

Yeah, despite my pessimism sometimes, I still run the client and watch this thread. I'll bet I'm not the only one. Couldn't hurt to post on reddit, but please at least cross-post anything important here.

So, I feel like I'm broaching something a little taboo, but I have to ask.  It seems like no one really knows how slimcoin works, but every now and then someone buys a few hundred bucks worth of it. Why?

Not sure if staking just doesn't work on a large scale or if something else solved the problem, but I've continued to stake and haven't had any stability issues.

New GPU miner looks interesting.

Has the network calmed down or are there still multiple forks? I still have 200 SLM in my client, will that be enough to PoB mine? I don't think I've ever created a block, either through CPU dcrypt PoW mining, or PoB. I was running the client for more than a month before I gave up.

Coin appears to be mostly worthless and developerless again, but with 200 slm burned you'd average a block every 11 days or so.

Boulderhash is a new mining algorithm requiring 13 GB RAM, nearly eliminating all possible zombie (botnet controlled) computers from mining.

Refreshing idea, but I'm pretty sure most people who have 16 GB or more memory, they actually need it and use it. I for one won't be holding 13 GB of RAM hostage for a coin.

Last active 24 november

I slowly suspect that he has connection with the one who dumped massive SLM on bter months ago.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Well too bad I'm still keeping all my SLM.



Heh, could be. Keepn mine too. I was considering using some spare btc I have to buy more just for the hell of it, but I don't know why.

Darkcoin Promo Video



watch in HD!

-onetime

enjoyed your video, very informative.

Exelent!
One big thing is missing : The Darkcoin foundation.
The video should mentioned it, it's good to know that an oficial organism like the foundation exist and it's aim is to protect darkcoin interst.

You mean organization? I'd be both intrigued and terrified by a DRK organism...

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.

Ah so about 3 weeks- that makes more sense. Good luck Smiley  If you have any issues with the wallet taking stupid amounts of memory you might consider updating to the newer one- it doesn't include staking, but it's more stable and uses fewer resources.

It's the latest one. I activated staking "by hand" and it's running OK for days (even when the VM with it was solomining). It consumes near 200Mb of memory (127M RAM + 82M VM) and zero CPU :-) - it's a VM on a colocation server doing CPU-mine (some free resources) so it's fine Smiley

ah nice Smiley

There's no bottom limit, but the wallet needs to be open.  Thing is, at this point with 110 burnt you'd get about .5 slim a day, which means about a month for a block on average.


edit: although if you burned them months ago and haven't gotten any PoB blocks, I'm guessing you aren't leaving your wallet running 24/7

It was 16 of October exactly. The wallet is 24/7 and staking OK, will wait and see, thanks!

How many SLMs must be burned to start PoB process? Burned for test 110SLMs month ago and still never seen PoB transaction...

i'm mining there as well with two azure instances, also no payouts, waiting for the sendmany alternative Smiley

1 x A4 virtual machine 8 cores does 8 * 0.14 kh/s ~= 1.30 kh/s   cost $0,48/hour    (~$357/month)   <- just testing..
1 x D4 virtual machine 8 cores does 8 * 0.43 kh/s ~= 3.45 kh/s   cost $0,752/hour  (~$559/month)   <- better!

http://azure.microsoft.com/nl-nl/pricing/details/virtual-machines/#Linux

i use my msdn license so got nearly $ 100 free, when it's gone it's gone...


Why bother with the A4 if the D4 is 265% the kh/s for only 157% of the price?

testing speeds, now i deleted the A4 and created a C3, it does 4 * 0.43 kh/s haha

nice Smiley
