https://sela-coin.com/ aims to continue on SelaCoin chain.

SelaCoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant, near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world - at lower costs than any other cryptocurrency existing today. SelaCoin is an open source, global payment processing solution that is fully decentralized without any central authorities, unlike other token based crypto currencies. Advanced and complicated mathematics code inbuild into the source code secures the entire SelaCoin network and empowers it’s users to control their own finances. SelaCoin also features lightening-fast transaction confirmation times - at 4 confirmations; thus improves the entire blockchain storage efficiency more than other cryptocurrencies, and of course better in all respects to the current fiat-based currencies. With substantial industry support, trade volume and liquidity, SelaCoin is a proven medium of commerce complementary to Bitcoin.

Common Questions :

How To Start Solo Mining SelaCoins?

Use these instructions to mine for selacoins.

Open your Sela wallet, and make sure your wallet is connected with a node using the addnode=%some ip% in the coin app data /selacoin/selacoin.conf file. You will know your wallet is connected when you see the icon Wallet connections in the lower corner of your wallet.

The message “Synchronizing with network…” will disappear once you mine your first block on the selacoin network.

Close your wallet and create the file selacoin.conf in the folder “%APPDATA%\selacoin\”.

Paste the following text into selacoin.conf and save the file.

rpcuser=rpc_selacoin
rpcpassword=2519d4ef50064515486153139
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=25521
listen=1
server=1

Download cpuminer from https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer/releases/tag/v2.5.0 and extract the zip file.

Create a .bat file named mine.bat and paste the following text into mine.bat.

minerd --url=http://127.0.0.1:25521--userpass=rpc_selacoin:2519d4ef50064515486153139 

Save the file inside the extracted cpuminer folder.

Open your wallet and execute mine.bat to start mining your first Sela block.

How to connect your SelaCoin Wallet to a node?

Close your wallet and create the file selacoin.conf in the folder “%APPDATA%\selacoin\”.

Paste the following text into selacoin.conf and save the file.

addnode=REPLACE_WITH_IP_OR_HOSTNAME

Replace the text “REPLACE_WITH_IP_OR_HOSTNAME” with an IP

address or hostname.

these are just some of the public nodes we have so far :

161.97.185.151

161.35.253.52

167.172.3.171

so an example selacoin.con would include the nodes this way :

addnode=161.97.185.151

addnode=167.172.3.171

addnode=161.35.253.52
