Hey Paycoinzzz; I hope my overdue bill this year won't hit 5 BTC

we should focus to get access to any exchange with a reasonable volume of sales. I'm sure at the moment registering an anonymous worldwide accessible 611 name or id object is niche product for some freaks in this forum.

But I'm sure as long as the service is working better and more stable than any other DNS related registration service SIL won't loose in value keeping the technical facts in mind

Thanks for offering SIL for a reasonable price level!

In effort to keep my electric on I will sell all 106 of my 611 coins for 2 BTC. PM me by tomorrow or I will be offline indefinitely.

You have two options: First step backup the new wallet.dat file and the old one.

Scheme A:
Copy-Address of one available SIL address out of the "Receive Coins" tab out of the new wallet.

After this step within the 611 data directory you may then delete all files

• Linux/Unix: ~/.611
• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\611
• Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application\ Support/611

Copy the old wallet.dat file into the 611 data directory and restart 611-qt beta2.
After 611-qt has loaded all blocks of the blockchain you should have your old SIL balance available.

Just press "Send Coins", paste the SIL address of your new wallet and transfer your available balance (minus the transaction fee) to your new wallet.

After this step wait a few minutes and then delete all files within the 611 data directory again. Copy the new wallet.dat into the 611 data directory and restart 611-qt beta2. After 611-qt has reloaded all blocks of the blockchain you should have the transfered amount available in your new wallet.  

Scheme B: If you do not like to pay the transaction fee you can use the debug console to export the private key out of your old wallet.dat and reimport it into your new wallet. Reloading the blockchain should make your balance available in the new wallet, too.

Have you already checked flo's press 4u article with many screenshots for newbies? https://flo.sh/611-sixeleven/

Ok, I'll try to care on this.

Meanwhile I've just slightly modified the initial announcement post to be more Newbie and non-technical user friendly.

Feel free to share your comments and hints

Difficulty seems to be at an all-time high but there still aren't any mining pools for 611. We need a pool owner to check out this thread.

It would be perfect if pool owners managing Bitcoin based pools can add 611 (SixEleven) to their merged mining setups.

Thx. for this update: I'm unable to find any information how to mine 611 with multipool.us; do you have a link?

Do you have any contact details? A request to the standard contact form results in no feedback, yet.

Hey, looking through the block explorer, I noticed something that doesn't sit right with me.

The initial instamined blocks were all worth 611 coins, a thousand times more valuable than the 0.611 block reward currently running. This was then reduced to 61.1 coins per block reward, and then presumably further by multiples of 0.1. This is not disclosed anywhere in the original post. In fact, none of the block structure is disclosed in the original post.

From downloading the wallet upon first seeing the original post, I know about 8000 blocks had been mined before public release. This wouldn't be so excessive if the block reward had been 0.611 coins the whole time-- basically this would have resulted in a premine of about 4888 SIL out of 611,000 total eventual supply, which is reasonable at 0.8%.

However, this is the actual mining reward structure:

Block 1-287: 611 coins per block NOT DISCLOSED IN OP
Block 288-2879: 61.1 coins per block NOT DISCLOSED IN OP
Block 2880: 0.611 coins per block, smoothly decaying

This means that 333,728.2 SIL, or a whopping 54.62% of the total eventual supply, was instamined by the 611 developer.

It appears this fact was deliberately hidden with the late release of a block explorer and the use of the low-information Abe block explorer.

Add to this the notion that the developer has been encouraging other miners to set a price for their mined SIL at approximately $60 USD means the developer is attempting to value his premine at upwards of $20,000,000 USD.

PatrickMacH, if you don't take steps to disclose your premine fully and burn most or all the coins you did not disclose that you mined at a higher block reward, this initiative is no longer worth miners' support.

I'm looking forward to your response.
