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

[HCLivess]

What happened to this experiment ?
did it hit a hiccup ?

Hi, the main hiccup is that the proof of transaction cannot handle spam or large network securely. I will be switching to PoW now. Summer is still on, so I did not have much time to focus on the project (which requires my whole body and soul when I focus on it).

There are three priorities, when completed, we will be able to continue:

1. tx serialization
2. sync rules
3. pow integration

I suggest you join slack for more frequent updates https://bismuthdevs.slack.com/messages/general/ send me your email in PM so I can invite you

Also in the recent light of Antshare IPO, I will have a stronger motivation to make moves with Clarity, the Bismuth derivate, which will benefit miners, users, investors and me

I started reworking the transaction engine today, reworking miner first

Also, new repo until merge:

[BTC Community]

quite look forward to see your project to be sucessed

[HCLivess]

Hi, I have resumed my work on the POW version of Bismuth, getting quite near with the basics. Meanwhile, I am also integrating openfield technology which will allow for blockchain-based programming of dapps. Here is a GUI preview:



- Currently rewriting node.py and gui.py
- Making adjustments to miner.py
- Putting it all together

when bismuth mainnet released ?

[HCLivess]

when bismuth mainnet released ?

I changed the algo so I will need a new testnet run which may take another month or so (after I finish making changes)
Don't expect it to be too soon

[HCLivess]

OK, basic transition from gui though miner to node ledger is now working.

To do:
-Block time as part of blocks
-Hash/mining verification
-Cross node synchronization (including rework of synch mechanism for longest chain verification)

So now, if you want to play around, you can try submitting some blocks locally, no executables built yet

Diff is set to 0 for testing purposes

Error raising is ON
Code is not revised

[HCLivess]

OK, we now only need exchange of transactions between nodes, that will require a special new function.
I dropped the idea of block timestamps for now, there are already transaction timestamps and block time is now used as nonce only, internally renamed.

[HCLivess]

Work in progress:
The mining rewards have been replaced by the POW model
Block time is now a part of the reward transaction

new block structure for now:

can i mine without gui ?

[HCLivess]

can i mine without gui ?

as for now, you can only mine without gui

work in progress:
-mempool synchronization implemented
-fixed client-side zombie bug
-node no longer requested to run for gui, although transactions will not propagate to other miners

todo:
-block sync

work on win7 64-bit?

[HCLivess]

work on win7 64-bit?

Yes, Bismuth testnet release 3 will work on all systems, Linux and Windows x86/x64
We are nearing the testnet 3 release

Worknotes: float/str interaction fixed, reworked hashing, unified+simplified transaction handling, sync now works across nodes/clients

my psu better get delivered soon, I've  no pc just now

my psu better get delivered soon, I've  no pc just now 

No worries, I need to rework transaction verification and all the old bits to the new model, so still there is plenty of time left

[HCLivess]

update: I removed backup mechanism since mempool is now cross-node shared, signing is reworked. I need to improve block sync now.

hi, please wait for testnet release 3

Code:

work notes:
added config file with following parameters configurable

mining_ip=127.0.0.1
rebuild_db=1

[HCLivess]

we are doing some internal testing of testnet 3 now

[m4nki]

Could you please update the OP? It seems to still contain old information, such as proof of transaction?

Thank you!
