GET SLACK NOW!What you can do with (BOB) and wBOB.

(BOB) Dobbscoin is the Church of the SubGenius Proof-of-Slack coin,
mined on its own chain since January 2014.

The Slack Run

Eight things to try, in order or not. Do all eight and you have touched every part of it.

1. Get a wallet. Two, really.

   For (BOB): Dobbscoin Core on the desktop, which has a miner built in, or the Android wallet. For wBOB: any Ethereum-style wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Zerion, Trust) switched to the Gnosis network. Gnosis pays its gas in xDAI, and a few cents of it lasts a long time.

2. Mine some (BOB).

   The desktop wallet mines by itself. Open its Mining tab and pick solo, where your own wallet hunts whole 1.5 (BOB) blocks, or pool, where you share the work with the pool and get smaller payouts more often. Press start. You can set it to start mining every time the wallet opens. Difficulty is low enough that an ordinary laptop still gets paid.

   Rather use a separate miner?

   Any scrypt miner works on the pool. Your username is your (BOB) address, and the pool pays every block it finds straight to that address.

   CPU, USB stick or small ASIC: port 3033

   cpuminer -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.dobbscoin.info:3033 \
     -u YOUR_BOB_ADDRESS.WORKER_NAME -p x -t 2

   Bigger scrypt ASICs or rented hashrate: port 3032

   cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.dobbscoin.info:3032 \
     -u YOUR_BOB_ADDRESS.WORKER_NAME -p x

   Both ports settle at the same difficulty. 3033 starts low, so small hardware gets its first share sooner. More on the pool's Connect page.

3. Bridge some to wBOB.

   Connect your Gnosis wallet at the bridge and it gives you a permanent Dobbscoin deposit address. Send (BOB) there. wBOB lands in your Gnosis wallet after 60 confirmations, about two hours. That wait keeps rented hashpower from reorging the coins out from under you. The bridge can also trade a sliver of it for xDAI on the way in, so you have gas.

4. Trade some for BILL.

   The Ladder is a BILL/wBOB pool built as rungs. The price never drifts; it jumps from rung to rung, and buying high and selling low through it loses money on purpose. BILL is someone else's token. We did not make it, we just hold some.

5. Sell some wBOB for xDAI and get a Yeti.

   Swap wBOB for xDAI where wBOB trades, then go to the Abominable Ministry. 0.1 xDAI rolls a random Smited Yeti. 0.2 xDAI lets you work the slot machine and hold the reels you like. Every yeti is drawn inside its own token, no two alike, and a few come out legendary.

6. Or a copy of the Book.

   The Codex holds the fourteen Books of Dobbscoin, scripture written into the chain. Read them free. Each Book is yours for a 1 xDAI donation, and the leather-bound Complete Canon is 23 xDAI. Collect all fourteen and you can bind them into a numbered Collected Works.

7. Bridge some back to (BOB).

   On the same bridge, burn wBOB and the same amount of (BOB) comes back to your Dobbscoin address. This direction takes about a minute.

8. Spend it at the cart.

   DobbsCart takes (BOB) straight from your Dobbscoin wallet, or wBOB on Gnosis. Zines, silver and whatever else turns up. Prices are in dollars, converted at the wBOB rate when you check out.

We would rather you mined it. Twelve years is a long time for a joke to keep producing blocks.
