[TESTNET]Bismuth - New Language, Interpretation Engines, DAPPs

[HCLivess]

why would you name a coin after an antacid? lol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth_subsalicylate

well it actually looks like it could be something promising.  as long as you aren't a scam dev/coin project like 90% of the SHIT here.

I used this (my only) Bitcointalk account to put at least some reassurance that this is not a scam. The account was created in 2013 (or early 2014?) and I use this username since I was 14.

I happened to visit a mineral/stone/metal expo in my city to stumble upon some beautiful pieces of Bismuth and Pyrite. It is a natural wonder to me, just take a look at these images: https://www.google.cz/search?q=bismuth&safe=off&espv=2&biw=1287&bih=730&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjE6Jip78DNAhUEXRQKHSZjDWoQ_AUIBigB

Bismuth reminds me of fractals and snowflakes. Nice thing Bismuth kills bacteria  Not sure how that will work here however.

@HCLivess

 What is your legal name? Please post a link to your LinkedIn profile.

 Could you also go into more detail on the claim of "endless possibilities"?

I don't feel like linking my LinkedIn profile directly, but I'm sure you can dox me, I am not very cautious in hiding my personal data on the internet.

The OpenField technology, which opens the Bismuth blockchain to any third party applications you can think of, kind of a decentralized data platform (applications, images, music, text, documents of all kinds), which can be then easily integrated to the internet, because the code is dead-simple. So far it's just a concept to be added later.

LOL that GOT, NXT reference though.
But seriosuly  are you telling me this isn't just another walletbiulders shitcoin or rubbish clone of another clone ? 
what is wrong with you ? you're doing Crypto Dev all wrong.

Thanks for all the positive feedback from everyone, really made my day 
The reason why I created Bismuth is because I always wanted to help with altcoins (at least with those which I decided to obtain), but the clone code is just too complicated for me with all the hidden references and I don't have that much C experience
I want Bismuth to be as simple as possible for the widest range of users

Thanks - this looks great. Will watch and
participate  when testnet is ready.

I have seen a couple other coins recently that showed
false positives with Inno installer.

Mining: 25 Bismuth reward per 50 blocks (ETH has 5)

I don't understand. Every 50th block there is a reward of 25? What about the other 49 blocks?

Hello. At the moment, mining is an independent layer above the transaction engine. Transactions are blocks on their own and are only paid with fees. Each time you initiate a transaction, a new block is created. Feel free to ask further questions.

So if this was to grow large there could be 100's of blocks a minute. How is that possible?

Right now the block sync is quite primitively sending one block per sync request, to ensure minimum rollbacks. 100s of blocks per minute might be too optimistic. The more blocks there are, the longer the synchronization takes. But if we add a bulk sync method, why not. Verification is very fast, because block structure is simple.

After install on my Windows 10 PC, all three links (mining, overview, start node) are not working/crash.  Any solution there?

Confirmed, looks like this is related to me having to reinstall Python. I will fix it and report back.

Receive error that msvcr100.dll cannot be found

So far it seems like no ICO, you can vote in the poll

Other than that, it looks like installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555 fixes the crashing issue, at least for me

Is this some kind of a shill sockpuppet account?
Reported nevertheless

You don't have to install anything, just download python, install dependencies and run the script if you don't trust the executables.

Download and install https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.11/python-2.7.11.msi
In your command line, run the following commands:

pip install pycrypto
pip install pillow
pip install pyqrcode
pip install pypng

Okay I signed up for the testnet.

How to mine?

Give me a second, I'll open up my node and make a release, because we are stuck at block 69 due to earlier bugs which should be fixed now
You should be able to mine by running miner.py/miner.exe

[HCLivess]

Here is the first testnet release, currently at block 2
You can mine there already, but your node must be running at the same time, because miner uses it once it finds a correct block for reward
I will start my node once you install this version

https://github.com/hclivess/Bismuth/releases/tag/0.74

Don't forget to close your node before installing

Btw I see your node, which is awesome!
