NB: This demonstration instance of SLATE may be replaced or reinitialized at any time without warning, so please do not use it for "real" applications. The version made available here may not always be the most recent, although it will usually be close.
SLATE is very much a work in progress. The specifications are evolving continually, and some parts may break from time to time as new capabilities are added or enabled.
What you see here is an absolutely minimal version. Many features are disabled or hidden, and will probably remain so for some time as development continues towards a releasable version.
The most recent version
will soon be out of date. Please wait for a "stable" version, or use what there
is at you own risk.
In due course an interactive version will be created, allowing the visitor to send payments to various robots (selected from a list) and to receive payments from those or other robots.
This approach is simpler than arranging groups of humans to particpate in an exploratory game. Robots don't get bored, frustrated or irritable. At least they shouldn't.
To register, follow the instructions on the registration screen to the left. This will create a login identity (primid), an account-holder identity (ahid), a currency and a private namespace for you (all sharing the same identifier string).
You can create as many new ahid as you like (by creating a new currency|ahid by clicking on join currency), and you can then send a payment to any other ahid known to you.
If you do not have any humans available with whom you can try this out, you can interact with a robot.
If you send a payment to any of the robot ahids (r00.sand.box.cc .. r09.sand.box.cc), one of your ahids will receive a payment within a couple of seconds. This response payment will not generally come from the same robot, and as you add new currency|ahid pairings, it will become increasingly improbable that it will be made either to the same ahid or in the same currency.
DON'T PANIC!
