Hot BN is when your coins are on the same machine that runs 24/7, cold setup is when you have a proxy..ie VPS in most cases. But You can have a cold BN on your home network , hell even on the same computer.

However the coming updates discourage hosting too many nodes on one machine, we want BNs to mine, so the max # you can probably run on a one core 1 GB ram VPS will be 2 nodes...

I'd actually encourage local nodes , because it's easier to use a pc at home/work to be online and mining and also promotes decentralization. Obviously if you want you can have VPS, which is more stable  + likely better bandwidth/latency

It's really up to the user. I'm spinning up a BN in a few minutes to represent the exchange....speaking of which 2FA now works so you can register and confirm your account. Email is still dodge , but i'll get to it. Some things keep falling between the cracks as i jump between projects.

Soon, everytime you start your wallet, it will automatically login to the exchange, and any bank nodes you have contracts/accounts with and update your stats , balances as well as allow fiat based bidding.....so much innovation..so little time, even less devs.

I only hope that before you will enable BN mining, bigger Banknodes will be enabled first. Like you said there will be need to create much more Vps' and I'm not willing to do it. Operating multiple BN instances on one Vps is stressful enough, still don't get it why 250k Banknodes were wiped when now the similiar idea gets back, couldn't it be saved in the beginning and cooperate with 50k Banknodes? Of course update were inevitable but it would be less work for us.

As for Windows vs Linux Bn, I must admit that Linux version on some Vps is rather more stable and secure than easy-peasy few clicks Windows version, every monkey can learn some basic commands and with help of this community can make it. I even made finally my vps to use swap file and change host name to not see any more those stupid "cannot resolve..." infos.
But not everyone got time and nerves for that, if you want a broader expansion of market and investors involved then Windows version must be always stable and easy to use. If someone will loose his coins because of his mistakes or stupidity then it is his choice and that's how life goes...

Still mostly on mobile and in summer lazy mode, take care

I will be focusing on user experience very soon, we have already had background conversations about this and hopefully we will start overhauling things soon. Thus far i have been focused on getting things working in the wallet, both new and existing , so UX has been on the back burner. I am well aware windows dominates the OS scene and we will make sure to provide.

Everything is going to be highly simplified such that even a first time user can work things out in a few minutes. One area i am worried about is lack of an android wallet.

I'm familiar with setting up masternodes, is there a banknode setup guide somewhere in this thread?  I don't see it on the OP

side note, dev: web wallet wise, have you seen NEOS? they run a daemon that runs a local web wallet similar to how NXT or any of the crypto 2.0 chains open up a localhost site, and were able to integrate a lot of info to be pulled from pool info to pricing, etc from websites. not sure if that fits into your model of displaying info or not. theres the option to run the wallet or a daemon for webwallet though i havent looked at it in a while.

you da man

*edit to add:
I wa shaving trouble with the program unexpected error shut down when launching the wallet. my solution was to run it in compatibility mode Win7. works fine now.

Hi

By connecting to the exchange, i mean that the wallet updates the balance in your wallet, recalculates and does things like redeem your due payments. Wallet will also look up your exchange account for your balances in all currencies, making this data available to you in the wallet. I will take a look at neos, but by the sounds of it they are running a setup that is vulnerable to web-type attacks. Our version will likely use Json or some other variant. It basically becomes an extension that allows interface with your online account without ceding control of your local privkeys. This is all theoretical until i start coding so take it with a tablespoon of salt.  

Any Masternode guide is compatible with BCR.

So much work to do!!! Just started rummaging in getblocktemplate, alganonim reminded me that i hadn't finished coding some changes.

well great work so far, thanks so much. will report back when my node is up and running. (waiting on some confirms)

Due the the large, and still expanding scope of this project , I am going to need someone to help maintain order. I am always chasing one codebase or the other and it's really getting hard. Would be nice if that person has webskills and updates our now seriously outdated website.

Exchange Banknode up and running

A note to anyone following DASH Masternode guides, DASH has just switched to a later Bitcoin codebase where all daemon RPC calls are now issued via dash-cli not dashd and their guides may not have been updated yet.

eg. you now use './dash-cli getinfo' instead of the older './dashd getinfo' - Bitcredit has always used this convention, so if you're used to the old DASH methods, bear this in mind and remember to also copy the bitcredit-cli executable as well as bitcreditd to your server if you're using a VPS.

In short, for anything other than initially starting the daemon (just './bitcreditd') use './bitcredit-cli <command>'  

The './' is an instruction to run the executable that's in the current working directory, you can omit it if you have installed bitcreditd/bitcredit-cli system-wide, by copying them both to /usr/local/bin for example, as some guides instruct you.

Ok, so the voting code is ready but i have reservations. 

While it does allow us to make community decisions....we could just as easily tally a single address without need of bulking the code any further.

Thoughts...?

Option 1) Have voting code for a dedicated system
Option 2) use manual voting

I'm inclined to go with 2 to avoid continuing to increase the codebase (more code == more complexity == potential problems) ... but it also would be nice to have voting , I need input from you guys...

Simple, low maintenance and always works beats complex, high maintenance and usually works. Ask any gun nut.

A more fundamental question about voting though: 1 vote per user, per wallet, per BN, or per BCR that your pubkey(s) control? I would go with more skin in the game = more say.

[fishbone]

Is it possible to run more than one BN via the wallet gui?

if so any got a .conf for multiple banknodes?

Yes it is. You will still need one wallet with its own data folder for each node though. these wallets do not need to have funds nor encryption or anything just running with the individual conf you get from the "get config" on the GUI. Your one "master wallet" - the one you should be paranoid about security wallet -  controls all your banknodes.

[bitcreditscc]

Getblocktemplate now has bidding information. 

Just some clean up left, then it's off to mod the p2pool code.

All relevant code pushed to the git for review.

Any chance you could do a write up of this if you get a little free time? I could include it in the in-wallet help.

My main concern at this point for BCR is that you are going to be offered a boatload of cash to work for someone else... or you run out of coding-steroids.

Highly unlikely, but if it did happen, i'd find a way to keep working, maybe convince that person/company that we can pull it off. Even if they refuse, all my spare time would still be very focused on advancing this project.

Yeah, I'll have it for you some time today.

Please don't even flirt with the idea of working for another coin, you want 2 or 3 girlfriends? you are going to end up with none and broke ... Just seeing you post on the crave thread makes me nervous. Look at what happened to that and its dev mozelesky with his damn myopic-quick-cash-scam-everyone-and-anyone attitude or the XC guy etc.
This project is a gem and if you captain this ship to a steady top 20 which you clearly are capable off, you'll be exponentially better *financially* than getting in bed with PnD groups for some quick btc - easy come, easy go... the word gets out eventually.
