Hi, I had some questions while setting up slimcoin wallet (node). Thought might be useful to share some details (thanks to u/muf18 for help), which may speed up process.

Downloads: 'SLM All in One (client and snapshot)' from slimco.in website

Better to use default location to install client, since blockchains are always downloading into %AppData%...

After installation there is shortcut on Desktop, slimcoin-qt.exe in ...\Roaming (SLIMCoin root folder)

Check if %appdata%/slimcoin/slimcoin.conf has latest peers addresses to connect to. Current:

addnode=85.10.208.71:41682 addnode=185.68.67.37:41682 addnode=144.76.64.49:41682 addnode=5.9.39.9:41682 addnode=78.46.37.209:41682

It took around half a day to get client synced.

We are still working, and contribute to Slimcoin project (mainly D5000, gjhiggins, ksdme, and me), but I didn't write here, anything for sometimes.
If anyone have any question about our development path, and want to propose something - please write here.

At last we have managed to secure a pool for Slimcoin mining algo Dcrypt:
http://slimcoin.bazco.in

Instruction is as follows - instead of 127.0.0.1 you put stratum address + as a user you put your slimcoin address.

i am doing some tests in the testnet changing the amount of coins and seams not work. the max_money

static const int64 MAX_MONEY = 250000000 * COIN;

I have created a website to make it quick and easy to find information about any particular Alt-Coin or Cryptocurrency.

Crypto Descriptor has a simple search box where you can enter the name (or ticker) of any coin or token you want to find more information about. It makes life much easier for people wanting concise, to-the-point, readily-available descriptions without going through the hastle of clicking on multiple google links and skimming through complicated, bloated explanations.

Currently, Crypto Descriptor has info for the top-200 coins on coinmarketcap.com (excluding some new additions) but we are constantly striving to learn, understand, and display information in a noob-friendly, easily-accessible fashion.

With a Slimcoin client and WebTorrent you can now publish websites that everyone can view with a standard browser.

Howto on Bitcointalk

While this was already possible before, the script was buggy and one had to wait about 2 hours until seeing the result. This is now reduced to a 2 minute wait (the Slimcoin block time and likely some additional time until you torrent is known by trackers and DHT), so I consider it ready for testing by the "general public" now.

This is an early test version, so don't expect miracles. Some of us are planning or working on extensions for "updateable websites", a graphical user interface (ACME), online identities and signed RDF graphs which would make it compatible with Linked Data standards like Solid (a "semantic social networking service") and maybe IPFS support.

Also I'm drafting a concept to incentive the sharing of the Web2Web sites by readers, based loosely on the way ZeroNet does it.

One other thing I am a bit confused on is what the 2 different levels of difficulty are for on the graph, in the Wallet. I believed the bottom one was for Burning and the top was for PoW mining. But not sure.

Also, for burning at current difficulty, how many coins should I burn to see results within say 2 weeks? I still don't fully understand it, currently I put 30 coins in burn just to see what would happen. It's been about 1 1/2 weeks and still no results. Shoukd I add more to burn, or just be patient?

Thanks

Hi. Another update, I have submitted for listing to Blockbid exchange, which will run in april 2018.
