Getblocktemplate now has bidding information. 

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

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.

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.

You misunderstood me, by other job, i mean working for something like an established company or bank, basically something in the valley, don't worry about me leaving or joining some pump and dump scheme, I think they are toxic and have no benefit for this project. The crave  saga is sad, especially considering the amount of work the community put in. After Dash we are the second coin to use 2 tier system, so if people like the system sometimes they get interested in our project. Unfortunately, that happens after they've been sucked in by hype coins and have been fleeced. 

In other news.....i need someone better versed in python to help me with the pool. Python is exactly that..a snake!!

Thinking of increasing message bucket retention to 1 week or a month since they will be used primarily for system tasks. Need to monetize the sending of messages to reduce possible spam issues.

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.

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.

Here it is:



Quick guide for a multiple nodes with one master wallet via its GUI

Before you start, you'll need your server's IP - be it your local external IP or your remote VPS IP.
To keep things tidy you can start with a new wallet.dat

• 1. Start your BCR wallet and encrypt it - it will need a re-start
• 2. Start your BCR wallet and unlock it for 60 seconds by going to the console and typing this: walletpassphrase mypasswordgoeshere 60
• 3. Click on the 'Bank Nodes' button
• 4. Switch to the 'My Bank Nodes' tab
• 5.1 Click Create - a window pops up
• 5.2 Alias field: your banknode name - example: BN-01
• 5.3 Address field: your ip:port - example: 123.456.78.9:9091
• Repeat step 5 for each node, only difference is the name and port - example: BN-02 123.456.78.9:9092, BN-03 123.456.78.9:9093 and so on
• Back up your wallet now - Not necessary but it is the best practice
• 6.1 Click to highlight your newly created node and click 'Copy Address'
• 6.2 Send exactly 50,000 BCR to that address
• Repeat step 6 for each node - you can skip this step but it must be done before starting the node
• Your "Master Wallet" is ready

Assuming you will be hosting all nodes in one single server, follow this:

• create a new folder and give it a name - example: BANKNODES
• Inside the BANKNODES folder create a new folder for your first node and give it a name - example: BN-01
• Copy the bitcredit-qt.exe and cpp files and paste them in the BN-01 folder
• Inside the BN-01 folder create a new folder and name it Data
• open notepad and paste this: bitcredit-qt -datadir=Data
• Save it inside the BN-01 folder as a .bat file - example: LAUNCH_NODE-01.bat
• You will only use this .bat file to launch the node, clicking the wallet icon will default to another data folder and we don't want that
• Launch the node using your bat file and let it sync. Once synced, close the qt and delete the wallet.dat from inside the Data folder
• Copy the BN-01 folder and paste it creating one copy per node and rename those folders to something like BN-02, BN-03, BN-04 etc

Back in your master wallet Click to highlight your first bank node and then click "get config"

• 7.1 A window pops up - copy that and paste it in notepad
• 7.2 replace the fields that say "REPLACEME" with whateverrandomthingyoucomeupwith
• 7.3 add a line with your individual port for that node 9001 or 9002 etc - example: port=9091
• 7.4 save as bitcredit.conf inside each node's Data folder - example \BANKNODES\BN-01\Data\bitcredit.conf
• Repeat step 7 for each node
• 8. Launch your nodes using their bat file
• You're set. You only need to make sure these node wallets are running

Provided your 50k transactions have the required confirmations, you are now ready to launch your Banknodes from the master wallet by first unlocking your wallet for around 10 seconds and clicking on "start all". Payments will come to this wallet that has your funds so be very meticulous securing this wallet.

Tired of c++ and python.... so for now i'll be trying my hand at building our QT wallet for use on android. Maybe tinker with the exchange a little.

Anyone wanna try a windows build on the dev branch? Maybe Mac too, i'll give you 20K BCR for each

I'm trying my best in setting up a build environment for Windows. Reading through several guides as this is new to me. Any help is welcome!

Merging Master Branch and dev branch.

You are all already aware of the changes, but i'll try to throw together a more formal announcement. For now i'm tired, i'd like to resolve the pool issues, windows build (Maybe Mac too), then take a whole day off.

Once i'm rested i can begin work on 0.30.17.

Get yourself a beer too! ... not many though

need to re-read your last few days (or weeks) to figure out what's what.. because there seems to be a lot going on for BCR that I'm not fully aware of and I'm sure people passing by the ann miss out on a lot of stuff too.

Lol, we see you miner!!! Great work, I'll need you to recompile master branch after people confirm they understand these changes I'll add an extra 10K for your trouble.

First of starting @ block 199999 block reward will be lowered to 18 BCR. Of this 18 BCR 30% goes to a BN as normal.

18 * 900 =16200 which is what BNs were cumulatively getting per day, which is no change. However the remaining 30K BCr that were being produced on a daily basis are now distributed in a single block every 900 blocks.

This is in line with the plan to move all mining to BNs, meaning that for a BN to earn the full amount it is due, it has to participate in transaction processing. There will be an additional update in a few days or weeks that will restrict BNs from signing consecutive blocks. While i have the code for this, it is such a radical change that i would still like further review of it's merits and possible implications.

So, in short , the emmisions curve and ratios are unaltered, but we have changed distribution strategy, from requiring a competitive race to solve blocks to a cooperative model, with backing investment that increases the BCR's value given priority.

if you have any questions, i am willing and able to answer both here and on skype.

I can confirm that after I redownloaded the blockchain and move the wallet.dat on the new fresh blockchain, the bitcredit-qt starts.

But on "getblocktemplate" the program it's closing.

I will try the master branch later ...

No problem with the new wallet. Thanks for the good work.

Actually do this...

if you are a miner ---- setgenerate true 10 (or as many cores as you have ) then wait until a block that is divisible by 100 passes, this will forcibly update the bid values

If you are on QT, just go to statistics and clisk refresh. Once it completes the calculations, all bids will be listed, getblocktemplate will work. I am working on standardizing this without taxing the wallet too much or rasing banwidth usage unnecessarily, after all the only one who uses get blocktemplate is the miner.

Note:- if you are working off current master, then likely there are no bids since noone has made any...i will publish bid addresses when we hit block 199000

Nice catch!! Passed out last night , been feeling drained. I merged the changes into the main branch , gonna write a patch for getblocktemplate too in a couple of minutes and test it out. Also writing the get bidding info call and many other fixes to reported issues, guess all i needed was some sleep. Should be another major update if i can work all day without disturbances. Meanwhile please provide a payout address.

I also want to ask everyone who participates to speak up about creating a system similar to memorycoin (if anyone remembers it), essentially, we use the blockchain to hire permanent devs for each section of the BCR core model who can be hired and fired at will based on performance.
