Pretty stark stuff from Martin Armstrong:
The deflationists are missing a few key points: 1. Megadeflation may occur when $quadrillions are erased in the inevitable credit and derivatives meltdown if the central banks don't just digitally 'print' $quadrillions. 2. If Megadeflation occurs, yippee, a bunch of stuff gets a lot cheaper for a very limited amount of time before the shelves are bare, as a rather large % of businesses are going to go under in the credit drought. No credit, no assets, no wages, no workers, no cashflow, no business. Then the hyperinflation sets in. The stackers who get all riled up when Harvey Dent or someone says, "Gold is going to $300!" are also missing the point. In that scenario, Au @ $300 might represent more purchasing power than the current Au @ $1200. These things are all relative. And $300 gold is going to dry up in a hurry just like everything else will. And the Keynesians all need to be beaten with fiery rattlesnakes. QE might have given the economy a temporary kick if they had said to the populace, " Hey guys, NO TAXES for the next 12 months! Don't worry, we'll just print what we would have stolen from you!" - instead of printing $trillions and giving it just to the bankers. There's no question that the lunatics are running the asylum, but I can't decide whether they're driven predominantly by malice, or stupidity. Even idiots occasionally get something right. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

What I would love to do is ditch the DS frame and the Recent Transactions frame, stick one bigger frame in there - this I can do - and inside the new frame put the current Transactions page - this I have no clue how to do... ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) ... yet. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) WIP... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs9.postimg.org%2Fsdktzo4lb%2Fbcr31.png&t=663&c=9v1VW0kwE6L7bw) Anyone have any strong opinions on this? I always thought the default BTC wallet had a lot of wasted space on the overviewpage, and the recent transactions thing was just filler.

By dint of sacrificing several goats to the Elder Gods I have got the tx symbols back, lined up, and fitting in the recent transactions area: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs22.postimg.org%2Fjj7gmgdip%2Fbcr28.png&t=663&c=sHQ0TsH6OKyG-w) Might shrink 'em a bit. Any chance to remove the darksend this time round?

Is that the latest windows wallet? Because that's what I'm going to need is the latest windows wallet and nodes for this coin ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Win binary is in OP. List of Banknodes, which you can use if you need to: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bcr/masternodes.dws (detailed list tab)

C++ was designed by fucking idiots. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) When I went to college in 2001; they made me do it in C...so I could know the pain of malloc and char* arrays...fuck strings. Then senior year they said you can have C++ and dynamic memory structures that you don't have to code yourself, and we were great-full to the merciful c++ gods for the vector and the map. I'm no fan of C either. Header files are an abomination and whoever invented them should be beaten with fiery rattlesnakes.

It's a thelonecrouton's guides
The compilation how-to wiki was done by dragos I think.

One thing I noticed is the mouse over comments are a bit hard to see for people trying to figure out what's what as some were quite dark against the background (with the current wallet)
Mostly fixed... QT's palette inheritance for tooltips is a bit odd and I haven't completely sussed it yet.

I LOVE THE NEW LOOK!!!
Thanks. I made the scollbars a bit fatter, got rid of the background gradient as it was making consistent widget background colour a PITA, it all looks much much nicer. Tooltip decor is still a bit inconsistent in places but I'll get there. Also redid the splashscreen, which is a highly important and critical feature as you know... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs1.postimg.org%2F93glit5qn%2Fbcr26.png&t=663&c=poFRIGfuAJdEBA)

Fiddled a bit more with the UI. Please tell me you like the toolstripe across the bottom as it took me fecking eons to get the bloody thing centred there. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs27.postimg.org%2Fyebg7p0xf%2Fbcr25.png&t=663&c=xST9FH30GwBRww) Moving it down there makes things a bit less cluttered I think, and allows enough space for the logo to be just about legible.

Dash is a complete nightmare to do marketing and is a big mistake:( ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) Sad that there was no voting about it. I am sure DASH would get >50%, because we discussed so many alternatives - all of them were much worse... "IX" was awesome. < ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) > And a certain exchange might have squeezed two letters into their apparently hyperunstable frontrunning platform without exploding it. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

@thelonecrouton
Straight from your BN hehe ? Good for now as long as access is active, but after update problem still will remain.
Next update I'll just copy the binaries over to the www directory. You're right though, it would be better if they were on http://bitcredits.website. Still good to have a backup though, my BN server is up all the time. Alliance is a great idea, all those nodes are wasting right now, all MN community could greatly help yourself in that matter, what was strange for me that SPR from which this idea came from (coin101) , now are not interested in help and rather rude.
Ahahah, I just read that. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Georgem is a great guy normally, though we disagree on a lot of things. I think his plans to limit SPR MNs (sorry, "Sevicenodes!") to a limited number of only the richest holders is like limiting the number of miners to only those with the biggest rigs - plain daft.

Kind of interesting to wonder what might happen to the market price of BCR if possession of it meant you could acquire eg. "This Week's Special - BTC at a 2% discount vs. other exchange spot price!" Digital assets under the direct control of the Banknodes would allow for the efficiencies of centralised systems while still benefiting from the safety of network-distributed risk. We are entering what shooters refer to as a 'target rich environment.' ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

Coloured coin capability (CCC TM) basically makes the BCR network a distributed exchange, right...? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
|
|
|
If BCR had BTC coloured coin capability and a coinbase compatible API, partnering with eg. https://btcjam.com https://btcjam.com/partner... might be mutually beneficial. And doesn't mean BN's can't still offer p2p lending in-house. An approach to consider anyway.

I think it would be best if any software like that were open source, and to be honest the masternode checker too, or is it already? I don't want to take anything away from your work, but I think the need to trust should be reduced when possible. What do you think about setting a target of Dash donations to publish the source code? I would be more than willing to contribute.
If I was to make and release an app that managed MNs and connected and communicated at that level, yeh, I agree that open source would be essential really. As for the alert app, as it is, it only reads publicly available data using an address you give it. Not a lot of point. Plus, everyone would then see how terrible my development skills are ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) So how can one be sure that the app doesn't call home with the IP address of the user making the masternode queries? I'm not suggesting that you are doing anything like that, but if you did want to target holders of large amounts of Dash an app like that would probably be a pretty good way of singling them out. You should open source it, the innate ghastliness of java will easily mask any dodgy coding of your own. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

TLDR: bugs with large wallets cause Bittrex to use Darkcoil, bug has since been fixed and all major exchanges are using core qt.
![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I'm pretty sure none of the exchanges are using QT GUI clients, unless they're nuts. Might explain Mintpal v2.0 though, idiots trying to run 143 QT clients on a crappy Windows server. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)
