Even running version 0.30.16.8 in a new folder (without wallet.dat or blocks) it crashes on start-up.

Try with --litemode=1, cures the problem for me on Ubuntu 14.04

Thanks, will try in a bit!

@bitcreditscc
The BCR page on Bittrex shows the following warning:

I will ask tlc if he is busy, i think the issue with QT is because of the market API again. We can just add conf parameter to disable it.

Meanwhile Escrow branch should start testing in a two days.

Most coins on Bittrex have false volume, i'll see what we can do.

I have submitted a pull req to disable the exchange browser if "noexchange=<anything>" line in bitcredit.conf.

Tested as working on xubuntu 14.04, I can't test this or anything else on Windows as Crouton Mansions is a MS free zone.

I can add some volume, who cares it's mostly faked anyway, but please take care of windows wallet  (litemode is useless for BN users) and please add new precompiled linux wallet for non-linux persons like me, I can't update my vps so far because of this two problems.

Last time I tried running a webserver (on my BN VPS) the instance got hacked within 48hrs and was spewing gigs of UDP packetry as a node in some DDOS network... 

Which is odd because my firewall should have completely blocked all UDP traffic in or out, I suspect ufw doesn't actually work properly on OpenVZ VPS's.

Anyone who wants working linux bitcredit-qt/bitcreditd/bitcredit-cli binaries please PM me with an email address to send them to, until we get a proper website set up...

You are hilarious Lone Crouton!

That's incredibly idealistic of you. It would be harder than being vegetarian I'd reckon.

Nothing idealistic about it, my life is thus made serene... since I put everyone on some flavour of linux about 16 years ago, petulant demands for free IT support have dropped by appx. 99%.

Do we think it would be handy if we could see our own BNs in the QT list more easily? Right now there are 23, in a few weeks there will be >100...

Filter is by pubkey, as IP address is not necessarily accurate.

WIP - stick your pubkey(s) in a text file called mybanknodes.txt and voila... there are certainly more elegant ways of doing it but I'm not clever enough and I'm sick of the compiler moaning at me.


No those are not all mine, just a random selection for demonstration purposes.

I'd be concerned that the possessive “mine” is a little too confusable with the verb.

The future layout will be slightly different. Nodes will be required to have an Alias, ie instead of the IP you will get the nodes name, representing the company or branch. Eventually this is will work as a sort of Business directory that will display other stat , like each nodes trust rating and available funds for stuff like loans and/or Escrow.

Well banknodemanager.cpp is about as close as you can get to a mine field without actual explosives. I thought it was going to be a 30 minute walk in the park... still unsure why the current configuration works while the previous thirty seven perfectly good iterations were segfault superattractors...

Wait till you try differentiating between Escrow nodes and Bank Nodes

Maybe running a buggy webserver on vps is failed mission at start, pure BN works so far somehow, ufw works, chinese trying to hack it but but nothing to steal there, ocasionally got some problems like right now but don't care if I got to remade it with new coins amount in a day or two.

Yeah I am one of those windows guys, learning linux over 10 years only then if really must, but still hate it and don't understand and don't remember simple commands, I would never ask for help if it would be easy for me.

@bitcreditscc

1. So what's the plan when block 145000 will be past, I can setup linux vps BN but how to start it with remote windows wallet when new version don't work so far, have you any estimated time for win wallet correction or some plan B for us ? Starting remote BN with linux wallet ?

2. I guess then Escrow nodes will be only made for escrow functions, will not calculating any transaction and will not get any fees ?

Updated to new files, it worked for the first time, but after closing and opening again, same problem as before - crashed after "Done loading" message, deleting mncache.dat didn't helped.

you can run both the vps and local client, when it crosses the block, it will autostart.

Escrow Nodes will get fees , for doing their job and a % as a BN type.

But it still crashes for me on Windows 8.1 x64.

try removing everything except wallet.dat

[bitcreditscc]

A bit of a thought was passed to me... wondering what your opinion of it is.

Instead of creating tons of classes of nodes and bloating the code unnecessarily, why not make it such that a BN can only do certain functions when it is above a certain threshold? Meaning that if you have a BN , you can do basic stuff, a BN with 20K can do escrow, a BN with 20K fund and another 50K can do escrow and be a Notary*(just an idea floating around) , a BN with 20K+50K + 130K can be a Bank eg etc and the list goes on.

This is compared to my system where you can only be one of the nodes.... the above system is easier for those with funds..but risks lowering the BN pool we are hoping to increase since that will make up the transaction processors.

Thoughts?

Update crashed twice on start but on the third open it worked

The statistics button still gets stuck - it highlights then when you click on a tab above it it stays highlighted (minor issue)

Likely a bool left unchecked. In case we may overlook, just open an issue on github so we always see it.

Third try huh? Tried removing the mncache.dat?

There is still some mild quirkiness in the code and it will take a while to work out all the bugs, which in itself is an issue because we are always constantly evolving. I am sure by the time we get to the 0.30.20.0 versions we will be more focused on fixing everything, but for now we are on a non stop march to quickly get as much of the basics in and working.

It's actually quite great the way things are right now, tlc works on the user experience while i tinker around in the back.

Speaking of tlc, he gets a pay out sometime tomorrow for his constant work.
