If it fork - Bittrex and suprnova on it 

I checked http://explorer.soilcoin.xyz/
4 SOIL reward and it takes some time for a new block so I think it is ok now

soil.suprnova.cc still pay 8soil per block

we began the halved block reward at block#263707. if you check via our block explorer (explorer.soilcoin.xyz) you will see a total minted amount of soil on block#301563 is 2261080 SOIL. this corresponds to (263707*+(37,856*4) = (2,109,656)+(151424) = (2,261,080). im not sure WHY suprnova would be continuing to issues block rewards of 8SOIL when they were well aware of the change to the system, and facilitated the switchover very quickly. do the deposits from suprnova to your account reflect this? our SOIL-hosted mining pool reflects the proper payouts, and blocks i have solved using this pool have lately resulted in a reward of 3.7SOIL, as opposed to the 7.7SOIL i received prior to the parameter change.

as for the targeted block time, we did implement the change to 60 seconds thru the soft-fork when we changed the block reward. i have seen the average block time up at 35 seconds and then have seen it, as of yesterday, back down to 19 seconds. peter and i have been discussing this at length and attempting to find the reason behind this, especially when one can see the difficulty algorithm has dropped again... what will likely be necessary is to take the same course as the EXP team did when confronted with similar issue and conduct a hard fork in order to set the proper block time in stone upon a new chain. the likelihood is that this is an inherent flaw within the ethereum platform itself. we will make announcement very soon regarding what change we will have to make if indeed a hard fork is necessaery.

[tlmoscow]

We need to contact suprnova guys asap. Seems like they are overpaying. 

[abvhiael]

in order to hard code the 60second block time into SOIL we are going to have to hard fork the currency. we will do this on block#320000 (we are presently on block302427) so the fork should be monday or tuesday. the updated packages are available from the OP for windows and mac and the github repository has been updated as well. it seems as though it is indeed an inherent flaw in ethereum that leads the block time back to the original setting of 15seconds by default, so we're doing this the hard and permanent way.

ill fire off a message to ocminer tonite regarding the payouts at suprnova. and will continue to update here as we approach the fork. let me know if anyone has any questions. hopefully, this will be the last fork we will need to do on the system for a long time, at least until we switch over to proof of share when that sort of updated algorithm becomes available.

we've spent the evening testing it out on a testnet and it worked perfectly.

weve also been testing our contract toolkit wallet and the earliest version of our SOILhosted exchange, so watch for those developments to come online within the next couple weeks as well. lots of little pieces to work into the exchange but we've got the basic architecture built and are playing around on it right now.

[ocminer]

I've corrected Suprnova's Payout per Block now but please move over to the official pool, i've had the red message on the pool for quite a long time already.

thanks, oc

the wallet at bittrex is presently disabled again. id contacted ritchie there regarding the update package for the hard fork on block 320,000 and i assume they simply upgraded their package right away and this may have caused an issue. ive been in contact with them regarding this and hopefully the wallet will be re-enabled without much delay. i will be contacting bittrex immediately again upon teh fork so as to prevent further disruptions in market accessibiilty.

with regards to altsheets' crowdfunding initiative for porting his ABEE block explorer platform to SOIL, he has asked me to act as escrow for those funds that have been pledged to him, releasable when he has finished porting it over. i have set up an escrow account at:
0x63f671d9fc32d310175b0b56cf900f228fc78161
and will hold on to those funds until ABEE is set up for us.

Thanks Mark Zuckerberg. That is really generous. ...

2500 SOIL

Thanks a lot, Dimid! This could be getting somewhere. Current total: 2501 Soil.
Who else?


What is this about? --> what & who.

I ask Richie to send my 5000 SOIL to this address.

[altsheets]

Porting of ABEE 0.2.2 to SOIL is decided!
I can finally start working on this. Great news. For me. For soilcurrency. For you.


Funding: Partly community reserve, partly crowdfunded

... 15,500 SOIL from our community fund. Thanks.

Thanks a lot. Happy that we found an agreement. I confirm having received it.

And thanks to you people! Your collaboration actually made this possible:

I am pledging 1 SOIL for collectively paying AltSheets to port his ABEE to SOIL.

Hard Fork at block 320000

like mentioned above by abvhiael we will have a hard fork.
Please update your clients before.
Fresh builds are availabe in the OP.

Upgrading on Linux (aka: "Upgrading via github sourcecode")
This extends my "soil on linux v03" manual.

First stop the old version node:

Code:

screen -r soil

CTRL-C

get the new code from github, and build:

Code:

cd ~/soil/go-ethereum
git pull
make clean
make gsoil

ready. The existing soft link will continue to work, so:

Code:

gsoil version

results in

Code:

Gsoil
Version: 1.3.2
Git Commit: 856c67a48c65dfec85918f605c4ffe485bcd5fcb
Protocol Versions: [63 62 61]
Network Id: 42
Go Version: go1.4.2
OS: linux

Still v1.3.2 ? I suggest to actually extend the Version number when you are publishing new releases. And if only the fourth digit, i.e. Version: 1.3.2.3
EDIT: current version: 1.4.0

Anyways. Now the new node code can be started:

Code:

screen -S soil gsoil

and
CTRL-A D
to exit the screen. And

Code:

gsoil attach

to use. For example:

Code:

eth.accounts.forEach(function(e){console.log(e,web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(e),'soil'));});

More JS console commands in my original manual post. Enjoy  

If you like this, show it:  0x8da4fc05ca343e6a41646194e91931d9f413a40c  Thanks.

Sending works like this:

Code:

eth.sendTransaction({ from: "your address", to: "0x8da4fc05ca343e6a41646194e91931d9f413a40c", value: web3.toWei( 542, "soil") })

EDIT:
* Perhaps you now also want to update the stats client, e.g. if it got a new password.
* History: 1.3.2.3 (this), 1.4.0

need china market!!!

SOIL on yuanbaohui.com 25 december

china is a HUGE market, and something ive looked at way back when. something ive had difficulty in doing, the google translations of sites leaves much to be desired, as is generally the case (its worse reading scientific papers on archaeology in sweeden, though.. thats an exercise in both futility and abject silliness) if you have suggestions for particular markets, that would need personal developer attention to realize assimilation of SOIL into, let me know. id love to have a new market opened to us.

ive got a few projects going on here that're keeping me crazy busy right now... rewriting the soilcoin website to reflect where we are now rather than where we were before launch; writing ANOTHER website to serve as documentation for the decentralized exchange that *IS* live and being tested and refined right now as well as building/deploying the other contracts that will need to be integrated into the overall system to fully implement the features i want to have on it (likely mid-january when we can release that, at the earliest); helping with the testing and debugging of our smart contract toolkit application (it works with developing/deploying/interacting with solidity contracts seamlessly right now, but its still somewhat CLUNKY)... the bigger and more featured that application, the more bugs there are to squash with impunity and steel toed boots.

happy winter solstice to all!

i want to start mining for SOIL. What is the best and most recommendable multipool for mining SOIL? Thanks!

our officially hosted SOILpool is up and running at http://45.63.4.165:5000/
use a .bat file in your folder with ethminer like the following to connect:

Code:

ethminer.exe -F 45.63.4.165:5082/miner/ADDRESS/HASRATE IN MH/S -G 

for example:
ethminer.exe -F 45.63.4.165:5082/miner/0x123458237b2e362e67280160667e1bd5dabcdef/25 -G
*where 25 Mh/s = 25000KHS*

there is a 3% pool fee, 50% of which is used to help cover the VPS costs with vultr, where we are hosting the pool. we will also be implementing a "miners equity subsidy" program, where once a week, miners with a >51% connectivity and hashrate <25Mh/s over a weekly period will take an equal share in half of the pool fees, which is our VERY SMALL way of trying to help democratize the mining process for folks who are using a single video card of whatever hashspeed.

its not a PRETTY pool, but its effective and running smoothly with pretty much immediate payouts upon each round's completion.
