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

[HCLivess]

Good job HClivess! Nice wallet!

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

ok, will add those

Code:

import Tkinter,tkFileDialog

root = Tkinter.Tk()
file = tkFileDialog.askopenfile(parent=root,mode='rb',title='Choose a file')
if file != None:
    data = file.read()
    file.close()
    print "I got %d bytes from this file." % len(data)

Testnet release 1.95

https://github.com/hclivess/Bismuth/releases/tag/1.95

Miner code reorganized, will not ask for the password multiple times
error was caused by moving freeze https://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.freeze_support

Updated and testing now! Good job HClivess!

how can i know my hashrate and the network hashrate ... also controlling the number of cores mining

how can i know my hashrate and the network hashrate ... also controlling the number of cores mining

Hi, you can change the number of threads in config.txt, that should roughly correspond to the number of cores.

I haven't paid much attention to the concept of hashrate so far, haven't found a use for it yet. However, I'll see if I can add it to the miner as an informative measure. We are using the concept of timestamp when creating new blocks, instead of nonce. We we might be resistant to ASIC by design, because nonce is random, but timestamp follows certain rules.

Network hashrate would then be derived from block speed propagation, average timestamps and difficulty.

EDIT: hashrate (rough estimate) code added for the next release:

How to back up the wallet file, it is stored in what directory
How can I send a coin

[HCLivess]

How to back up the wallet file, it is stored in what directory
How can I send a coin

privkey.der or privkey_encrypted.der
pubkey.der
in the directory where you installed to, Program Files (x86) by default

to send coins, open node.exe (start) and gui.exe (overview)
i should make changes to naming

[HCLivess]

Thanks for awesome testing, so many participants! You gave me great new ideas, more announcements coming soon!

[Stallion] initial release
Miner hashrate estimate visible.

[HCLivess]

Bismuth is now re-branded to Stallion - fast, light, strong, free black horse
at the same time, this is internal sync mechanism name, but I like it

Why rebrand:

Nobody knows what Bismuth is / or they think it's a laxative
Bismuth sounds like Helmuth
Stallion appeals to power/growth/dominance/black horse
Stallion has nice graphics materials readily available
Stallion is easy to remember

Odds:

Sounds like Stalin

Mining is not the higher the speed, the more it?

[HCLivess]

Mining is not the higher the speed, the more it?

Yes, it should be like that. But since it is not pooled, it highly depends on randomness. Also, full blocks take more time to hash and lower the hashrate estimate.

updated to 1.96 ... node, overview runs.. wallet ok, but miner crashes...  ?

Hi, just released an update: https://github.com/hclivess/Stallion/releases/tag/1.961

Hashrate estimate no longer causes miner crash
Rebranding, some icons still missing

[HCLivess]

Hello, due to immensely increased interest, I have noticed some slowness in the network sync. There are now 4 forwarded nodes and multiple non-forwarded clients. I will make observations and possibly make adjustments. Main suspect is the difficulty scaling.

No windows executable for the latest two version?

I'm running windows 10. I'm getting an error on GUI that the script could not be executed.  Miner and node both flash a screen.

I run win10 too - You need to right click and "Run as administrator"

I believe a plan to fix this is in place.

for now the blockchain have some diff issues, so wull be fixed soon wait for updates or join slack for more info.

When mainnet released ? im really curious about this.
those features are interesting to me,and i believe this coins value will be high
