As I have said 6000 sats is a fair price for SYS. I am sure we will see this in the next 3-4 months.

I don't think it's smart business to "limit" updates to anything. Updates should be considered a form of advertising as well and should be posted anywhere you wan't to attract attention, within reason of course. Limiting anything to Slack other than highly technical discussion, does the project a disservice.

Yes.

I give you holders credit for sticking to this coin so long feel free to sell some though so others can get a turn.

Yeah, that's the problem I'm having too. I'll have a look & see what code base my other merge mined coins are using.

Edit: The only merge mined coin wallets I have that are using 0.12 code base are NMC & SYS, although I stopped merge mining NMC a while ago due to both a problem with their code & merge mining:

 + the super high diff. I'm unsure if it's been fixed yet. I'm afraid I don't know much about coding....I just mine it  

Edit2: The _target issue was apparently fixed a while ago with p2pool:

...coins pandering up to the biggest Chinese pools.....causes problems all round...

Hash rate varies between 15Th & 50Th - depending on rental prices at the time, & I've never had a payment from syscoin, while all the other merge mined coins are fine & pay accordingly.

The biggest pool you are competing with currently is F2Pool which currently has approx 335499 TH, this would certainly explain why you are not getting any blocks ATM.

It's so much a case of "ATM" - I've never found a block merge mining SYS, even before FUpool started killing it.....

I started mining sys as soon as merged mining was announced. Same problem as that github link, but it's not me - so I'm not the only one having problems with it - which was kind of reassuring actually, in a strange way    Am I correct thinking that because syscoin is based on NMC it has inherited the same issues?
