The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

Some people asking me if bitdollar is a fork of bitcoin or not, to make things clear: -bitdollar-bc is a reimplementation of the bitcoin protocol, it'll always follow official client(bitcoin.org) rules and won't try to fork the chain or impose changes in the protocol. -bitdollar is another project of protocol.
Both projects are distincts.

That is clear as mud to me, sorry. Any questions are welcome.
I've got a question. What does this mean: Some people asking me if bitdollar is a fork of bitcoin or not, to make things clear: -bitdollar-bc is a reimplementation of the bitcoin protocol, it'll always follow official client(bitcoin.org) rules and won't try to fork the chain or impose changes in the protocol. -bitdollar is another project of protocol.

Also, what is bitdollar?

Why we need this? Is it better than Bitcoin?

I use c++/qt, i'm not used to work with svn/github but i'll put project on it if there are requests.

sounds like this could be achieved with bitcoin by just adding functionality to the existing client e.g. wallet splitting/joining/rekeying Will

This is being implemented in the original client. Wallet functionality has already been moved to a separate class. Thus, supporting multiple wallets is possible in principe, just not supported in the UI yet. Also the original client will switch to a Qt-based UI eventually (see my thread here).

Bitcoin Core developer [PGP] Warning: For most, coin loss is a larger risk than coin theft. A disk can die any time. Regularly back up your wallet through File → Backup Wallet to an external storage or the (encrypted!) cloud. Use a separate offline wallet for storing larger amounts.

(more info: http://www.bitdollar.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=8) Bitdollar-bc is a client for the bitcoin protocol. I'm sorry. Unlike Alex, I still have clear mud in my eyes. Is it a new client using bitcoins or the same client using a new block chain? Actually there are four permutations there: new client USES old bitcoin block chain (what we want) new client USES new block chain (forked everything) old client USES old bitcoin block chain (rebranding?) old client USES new block chain (forked chain)

It's a new client that uses "old"("official") bitcoin blockchain.
