Also, what is bitdollar?
Bitdollar is a p2p currency protocol similar to bitcoin, a client of the same name is currently in development.

Bitdollar-bc is a client for the bitcoin protocol.
I'm sorry. Unlike Alex, I still have clear mud in my eyes. Is it a new client using bitcoins or the same client using a new block chain? Actually there are four permutations there:
new client USES old bitcoin block chain (what we want)
new client USES new block chain (forked everything)
old client USES old bitcoin block chain (rebranding?)
old client USES new block chain (forked chain)
sounds like this could be achieved with bitcoin by just adding functionality to the existing client e.g. wallet splitting/joining/rekeying
This is being implemented in the original client. Wallet functionality has already been moved to a separate class. Thus, supporting multiple wallets is possible in principe, just not supported in the UI yet.Also the original client will switch to a Qt-based UI eventually (see my thread here).
Main difference is that bitdollar-bc have more flexibility with wallet keys management.

Why we need this? Is it better than Bitcoin?

what language are you using? why don't you use svn or github?
I use c++/qt, i'm not used to work with svn/github but i'll put project on it if there are requests.

Much clearer thanks.

Bitdollar-bc is a client for the bitcoin protocol.
Some people asking me if bitdollar is a fork of bitcoin or not, to make things clear:
-bitdollar-bc is a reimplementation of the bitcoin protocol, it'll always follow official client(bitcoin.org) rules and won't try to fork the chain or impose changes in the protocol.
-bitdollar is another project of protocol.
Both projects are distincts.

That is clear as mud to me, sorry.
Any questions are welcome.
I've got a question. What does this mean:

As i got few requests, i'm creating a topic on the bitcoin implementation in bitdollar.
I have renamed the implementation bitdollar-bc to prevent confusion with the bitdollar protocol.
