I really need someone with equal or better qualification to do a code review and correction just in case i made mistakes, working alone means there are times i can make mistakes and not pick up on them. There are bounties for this.

It might help if you were a bit more specific about what you're expecting to see for the money.

Dev, can you please provide the block reward reduction timeline?

At current rate 198 days until halving.

But as you already know, our emissions are not going to be just mining based.

Miners will produce 143000 blocks from here until the halving ==  7150000
BN will produce up to 40% of that. == 2860000
Employees and rated banks will produce == 1430000

The above numbers will become

Miners-- 3575000
BN-- 1430000
Emp+RBN-- 715000

After the halving.

So, own a RBN( RBN gets BN fees plus rating rewards) and (if your day job gives you time) work for the community, you'll be swimming in money.  

This is really a great environment because everyone is invited, you can find your own corner and begin earning coins. And assuredly, because BN are profitable, the price will always be pretty good.

Well i expect a person to go through the code, view the changes and run test cases. try to break something. Then come up with a list of recommended changes, if we agree on their merit, they are implemented and reviewer is paid.

[bitcreditscc]

If anyone is wondering what i'll be dreaming up after all this

Coming soon to a Bank near you :-

Colored Credits

The party will never stop

DID YOU KNOW?

The Bitcredits Wallet is one of the only wallets that allows you to print paper wallets from right inside the client.

These last three posts from the dev are the kind of info that makes me want to really go deep...

That's a great feature!

Haha, I saw that the other day on the Bitcoin reddit.  Hey, every once in a while there's a coin that comes out with a unique idea and a talented developer that could actually go somewhere.

I thought this was the fail bitcredits, bought some of these on bittrex  going to put up a 100mbit p2pool. I thought it was funny regardless.

another clone of drk ?

Please name the other clones who have already implemented or are implementing masternodes soon ala DRK.

[Department of]

another clone of drk ? 

It does use the basic idea of a two-tier network, but it is actually going a completely different direction than Dash.  Read through some of the dev's past posts to get a basic idea about where things are headed.  It aims to replace features of current banks that haven't been talked about by Bitcoin or Dash and it's going to do it in a decentralized way.  Loans, bonds, etc.

@ dev, i'm trying to compile from source on linux mint, I get the following error when I try to compile:

leigh@leigh-Aspire-X3200 ~/installed/bicreditsnew-master $ chmod +x autogen.sh && cd share/ && chmod +x genbuild.sh && cd .. && cd src/leveldb && chmod +x build_detect_platform && cd ../.. && ./autogen.sh &&  ./configure --disable-tests --enable-upnp-default  && make
./autogen.sh: 9: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found


Any ideas on how to fix?

HowTo mine Bitcredits (BCR) - Update @ 03/21/2015

A. Solomining
Download the wallet (current version 0.30.14):
   Windows: https://mega.co.nz/#!Zsoz3RZI!hbM2_StwgbprnRvPrMmyoQEd7VvHfq6k1dB09XZniZ4
   Linux: (must be compiled by you - to many dependencies to meet - see HowTo Linux Compiling Wallet at the end of the post)
   Source: https://github.com/bitcreditscc/bicreditsnew
Start the wallet and leave it to synchronize with the network.
Create an bitcredit.conf file:
   Windows: %appdata%\Bitcredit\bitcredit.conf
   Linux: ~/.bitcredit/bitcredit.conf
with the following content:

Code:

server=1
genproclimit=0
rpcuser=<someuser>
rpcpassword=<somepass>
rpcallowip=localhost
rpcport=8776

then point your miner to localhost:8776.
eg: clpts_x86-64.exe -o localhot:8776 -u <someuser>:<somepass> -g 2 -a 0

B. Poolmining

HowTo Windows Compiling Wallet - 32 bit & 64 bit.

Environment:
I will not enter in explaining how to compile different dependencies necessaries for this. I made one archive that contains everything precompiled (32&64 bit) and all source code.

Dependencies:
Boost 1.57.0
DB 4.8.30
Libpng 1.6.16
Miniupnpc 1.9.20150206
Openssl 1.0.1l
Protobuf 2.6.1
Qrencode 3.4.4
QTbase 5.3.2.7
QTTools 5.3.2.7

Download Env32&64.7z (https://mega.co.nz/#!Xw01HI7a!HKTGpsDFAfYfuG4eD1mdwFJriObeceqBMSxKfZJ5ve8) 624 MB archive (4706 MB decompresed).

Decompress all in C. You now must have in C the following dirs: deps, deps64, mingw, mingw32, mingw64, qt, qt64.
Copy from "C:\mingw" the shortcuts "MSYS32" and "MSYS64" to your Desktop.

Clone from GIT or Download ZIP the source code https://github.com/bitcreditscc/bicreditsnew.
Put all, let's say in "C:\Bitcredits\bitcreditsnew".
Copy "C:\Bitcredits\bitcreditsnew\build-aux" directory to "C:\Bitcredits\bitcreditsnew\src\secp256k1".

For 32bit:
Create a file, let's say "build32bit.sh" in "C:\Bitcredits\bitcreditsnew\" with the following content:

Code:

bash autogen.sh

CPPFLAGS="-I/c/deps/db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix \
-I/c/deps/openssl-1.0.1l/include \

make -j4

strip src/bitcredit-cli.exe
strip src/bitcreditd.exe
strip src/bitcredit-tx.exe
strip src/qt/bitcredit-qt.exe

and save it.

Open the MSYS32 and enter:

Code:

cd /c/Bitcredits/bitcreditsnew
bash build32bit.sh

bitcredit-qt.exe is located in "C:\Bitcredits\bitcreditsnew\src\qt"

For 64bit:
Create a file, let's say "build64bit.sh" in "C:\Bitcredits\bitcreditsnew\" with the following content:

Code:

bash autogen.sh

CPPFLAGS="-I/c/deps64/db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix \

make -j4

strip src/bitcredit-cli.exe
strip src/bitcreditd.exe
strip src/bitcredit-tx.exe
strip src/qt/bitcredit-qt.exe

and save it.

Open the MSYS64 and enter:

Code:

cd /c/Bitcredits/bitcreditsnew

bitcredit-qt.exe is located in "C:\Bitcredits\bitcreditsnew\src\qt"

[bitcreditscc]

Weekend people, Monday should see us only making small changes. Secure messaging is almost complete.

What does this mean for the project?

Secure messaging is transport layer for all Bank related requests, specially formatted messages will be sent between BNs and average users which trigger specific actions.

For example:-

A loan request will look like

Code:

"loan request , Address XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, 3000 BCR, Purpose : Bounty , Trust Rating : 3.2 , BN: false"

This is a loan request from a user, asking for 3000 BCR to fill a Bounty for profit. They have a trust rating of 3.2 and it's not a BN.

BNs will immediately parse and sort such requests in order of date request, then priority based on Trust rating and Credit rating. Eventually BN owners can set an automatic response to these messages, say your trust rating is > 6, then it automatically gives you the loan within the suggested ceiling. If your request exceeds the ceiling, the BN owner gets notified, he/she can then make the decision.

This is a huge part of the system and once it's confirmed woprking, most of the work will be about expanding the rating systems, formatting of messages and responses.
