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.....

Nice to have you here macca!

"What is Clarity?
Clarity is a super stable version of Bismuth, which will be released separately. Clarity to Bismuth is what RedHat is to Fedora. New features will be tested in Bismuth first, and then added to Clarity later. This way, Bismuth will be secured by two networks (tesnet+mainnet) and Clarity will be secured by three (Bismuth testnet+Bismuth mainnet+Clarity mainnet). Clarity will be funded by ICO, and the funds will pour into Bismuth. Using this model, the Bismuth blockchain will not be clouded by funding and people will still have an opportunity to invest to get an instant share in Clarity." - HCLivess

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?

Yes this is true. Casino is 50%-50%
(the casino earnings come from tx fee)

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.

At least they or he/she said thanks!

"Acknowledgement
I would like to thank all supporters and adopters of Lithium, as well as those developers and creators of projects like Bitcoin, NXT, and Clarity, among many others. "

Guys if anyone wants to try casino on it's own I or testnet miners can send some funds, not many people betting now after the latest update
Also, as I noted on Slack, that Lithium is written in C# so it should not be related. Also, address length is different. Maybe they just copied one sentence from our announcement because they found it majestic

also, do you think it's important to have an escrow? I thought clarity ICO could be done using blockchain.info with Clarity address in the message - nxt did it that way

I have been mining on testnet since last update and all appears well.

To be honest I forgot all about it as my attention has been elsewhere.

Updated and testing now.

Edit: All working normal. I have no issue during mining in testnet.

[HCLivess]

Hello and welcome. Someone ordered a slack invite but it did not arrive because address was not recognized by gmail. Also, the new version will support private key password encryption.

Also, that update post is awesome, @alatay  thanks

I'm glad to help with testing. What's about ICO, I think that it's not important to have an escrow. Do it like NXT had.

the ICO will be for Clarity, Clarity is the ICO corporate version of Bismuth and for the best interest for everyone with the amount of scams that are out there an escrow would be a good idea for piece of mind for investor and to build trust within the Bismuth/Clarity and crypto community's  :-).

What is Clarity?
Clarity is a super stable version of Bismuth, which will be released separately. Clarity to Bismuth is what RedHat is to Fedora.

more information to follow in the future :-)

Good job HClivess! Nice wallet!

Can be improved with 2 more buttons, on bottom left: "export" "import" wallet or "backup" - "recover"
