Happy New Year bismuthers !!!

nice job HClivess !!

Thanks, it looks like new miners have joined the testnet. Hoping for a successful release in 2017. I would like to work on sync speed improvement now, followed by the longest chain proofing as it is now exploitable with sufficient coding knowledge.

I'm playing with the idea of upgrading to Python 3.6 from current 2.7. The bummer is that Windows XP is no longer supported in that newer version, which might cause trouble for some people. I am hesitant to upgrade to 3.4 or previous, because these are already out of date (and 2.7 is still regularly updated, unlike 3+ except the latest). So there is a new poll now.

I'd like Python 2.7

What is the advantage of Python 3.6 over the 2.7 ?

Main reason - You don't have to "run as administrator", better compatibility with the "compiler"
Some things are supposed to be faster
It should be more secure through secrets module (we might need to rework the core completely for that)
newer Tcl for tkinter/GUI

https://docs.python.org/3.6/whatsnew/changelog.html#python-3-6-0

Also, we could switch to Blake2 algo for smoother operation

That vanity must have taken months to generate 


By the way, there is now some project called Lithium https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1717241.0
It mentions inspiration by Clarity, which is the ICO corporate version of Bismuth
We have never been contacted by anyone connected to that project, and there is no link to their github, so it's hard to tell whether they're using any of the Bismuth code or if the project is serious.

I would like to thank Alatay for the investigation.

I saw too something about Clarity on Lithium... but i thought is a coincidence...

Same here. I thought there was another project called Clarity somewhere in Crypto space.

Heh, Lithium brought me to Clarity / Bismuth

I checked the ann for Lithium in December and made the following notes:

<-------

Lithium assessment

1. No escrow for the ICO
2. The dev made no posts between June 2014 and Dec 2016 - was the account bought?
3. This looks like a scam to me....... dev may change this, but I doubt it.
4. Note to self - check out / what is Clarity? - did I miss this one?

---------->

Looks like my assessment might have been true.....

[maccaspacca]

By the way my assessment of Bismuth | Clarity is very positive.

It is rare these days that I actually mine anything let alone take part in a testnet.

I like the approach - test and prove the coin first and then ICO - sweet spot

The casino sounds interesting and reminds me of http://block-roulette.com/#

From the OP it reads that your casino does not have a house edge - is that true?
