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

[HCLivess]

The community looks very active.But we progress a bit slow.

Maybe because we're not cloning Dash here. Upgrades introduce incompatibilities, which introduce not only need for more testing, but also changes to the core parts of the system. We have upgraded the sync protocol, completely reworked the database handling and networking level, completely reworked the mining algo 2x, added megablocks, added new dapps, added alias system, signature verification, qr codes, introduced nonce. All this before release, so please be patient

Bug report: I've got an error like 'database is locked' when I minted my first block and miner.py immediately halted. I relaunched it and its running smoothly for the last 30 minutes minting new blocks and it happened again. I'm not sure small part of the log helps to track down tat concurrency issue, but still hope it might help.

Code:

OperationalError: database is locked
Process Process-1:
Process Process-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for the report. I will add retry events to the miner. Great find

Don't worry @HCLivess, Bismuth community will grow fast as soon as mainnet will be launched. I'm sure of this.

Is the main net coming soon?

dev is off till early March, so will be months till mainnet launch. Cheers!
P.S. you can always give a hand on testnet

be patient with your effort and be consistent with your work then see what,s happend.

Any news about the mainnet launch? Is still in the test phase this project?

no GPU mining？Yeah, that's what a lot of coin says

Mainnet will come, stay tunned!

If you know how to build one, be our guest. Of course someone will make one in the future, we can't avoid this, but atm only cpu miner will be availebe upon release.

I think the main point of GPU mining is Scrypt. We don't have Scrypt. The point of GPU mining is to prevent CPU/ASIC mining, not to improve upon it.
