Made the help window non modal so the user can have help up while still operating the wallet. Some voodoo about heaps and stacks. Gripping stuff, eh?

Guys have a problem starting up a bn. Do i have to have all my info about my bn in my bitcredit.conf file? like i did the all the steps i guess from the masternode guides?
i did the walletpassphrase ** 60 banknode start ** then i am getting not capable banknode could not connect to :9999 or do i need a banknode.conf file as well? then i have the following lines in my bitcredit.conf
inside the qt at my banknodes i see my collateral address i created. then it has 50k exactly inside it.
rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
rpcport=8776
rpcallowip=
daemon=1
server=1
port=9999
listen=1
genproclimit=0
banknode=1
banknodeprivkey=
banknodeaddr=
externalip=
maxconnections=256
logtimestamps=1
upnp=1
with all this and router at plug and play i praid that it would work, but it didn't..
My only workaround was put in at banknodeaddr=localhost
is this gonna be a problem with the payouts.?

[dextronomous]

so thanks you all for the good guides on bn nodes,
got my first bn payment but have still got to know if i have to change

 rpcallowip=to my own ip ? or leave it

cause instead of
 localhost

i did not try it yet but at
 banknodeaddr=it is only working with

 localhost:9999

i gues my router or my system is setup like that.

Yes, set rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 (or localhost) -  if it's getting paid it's working.

Good job on the wallet, looking great!

Thanks, but don't hesitate to dish out criticism, I'm not going to break down in tears if I'm told something sucks.

I'd like to make things as simple as possible for users.

I might try having the wallet default to nothing but basic send / receive and show balance / transactions (granny mode, and all most people are ever going to use) unless the user asks for the full monty. Basic / Advanced modes should be enough, I'm not granularising fifteen different user competence levels.

bitcreditscc has begun an electrum port, if we can integrate electrum servers on the BNs then the electrum thin client might make a better grannyplatform. It's also in python, which is better for one's blood pressure and means stuff can get tried and tested far faster. And electrum runs on Andoid too.

Having trouble setting up a banknode. Finding several variations of the instructions. Does anyone have a write up of simple to follow instructions for setting up the banknode and vpn.

Also new wallet will sync but when I exit and restart is bombs out. Have tries resyncing several times by deleting all files except wallet.dat but have the same result.

Any help would be appreciated.

Good work!

A simple or 'granny' version is definitely a good idea

No worries, basics first! Great stuff coming up!

Unfortunately I am not available, but you should check the wiki, any dash/dark guide will do

How do we redirect the miner to your pool, isnt it locked to either 1 or 2?

Thanks,

In hosts file add:

Read this howto: http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/how-do-i-modify-my-hosts-file

Did the world end at block 150000? 

Seems pools are down and since there is no solo miner that I know of we are at a standstill.  I believe the pts-getwork crashes the latest version now.

checking. bcr is offline tending to some personal business so i will deal with this.

Pools online , git updated. I'm guessing he missed an update, there is code slated for a hard fork , i pushed it back to 200000.

good work, sent the passwords you need. I'm back but full work starts in the evening

Is it normal to get:

GetSpork::Unknown Spork 1427803200
CheckBlock() : skipping transaction locking checks
CheckBlock() : Using non-specific banknode payments 150264
CheckBlock() : Found banknode payment 150264

Added a few new simple themes, with repainted logo image and About icons. You need to restart the wallet for them to take effect. They persist until changed.

eg. purple (bitcreditscc likes purple)



eg. green (hack_ said he likes green)



If you've put your BN addresses in mybanknodes.txt then you also get a colour co-ordinated banknode list:



Built in choices are orange, dark/orange, blue, green, pink, purple, turquoise. You can still load your own custom .qss file if you want by sticking your own 'theme=/path/to/theme' line in your bitcredit.conf. I have set the default to orange, for no particular reason.

If none of these fruity options please you, you can find the qss files in the git repo  -  get creative, and it you come up with something nice please share it so I can include it with the client for everyone to marvel at.

@dragos - they should all work out of the box now, no need to bundle the qss files separately with the linux binary.

Hope all this stuff works on Windows too.

Still hoping someone will come up with some content for the Help-pages, haven't had time to put anything together myself yet. Borrowing DASH guides and modifying them for BCR is perfectly acceptable...

Slightly wordier version of crouton's "PoW is imbecilic" rant: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/bitcoin-is-unsustainable

BCR needs to get mining shifted to BNs as a non-competitive process and implement distribution by tender ASAP.
