I am announcing that the next release will include
- fees being given back to miners
- variable difficulty with 1 block retarget, aiming at 1 minute blocks
- ZircoDice code, which is the first decentralized application code, anyone will be able to run their own casino
You can study the ZircoDice code here: https://github.com/hclivess/Bismuth/blob/master/zircodice.py
Decentralized casino programming took about 90 minutes and resides on ~84 lines of code, that's what is meant by easy integration
Experimental testnet settings:
Max bet: 1000
Payout: 2x
Chance to win: 40%

Thanks, forgot to post that. Also, I will now work on database capacity improvements, which is the layer under the now pristine network communication. This will greatly improve mining speed for slower computers, and increase mining cycles at no power expense. This is one of the longterm goals - Extreme Blockchain Compression, for short EBC.
685 bits will turn into 272 relational notation:
this will increase the current capacity by 251%

I have identified a server restart design error from the early days, which causes the node to restart every time there is a disconnect. Working on a fix now, this should allow for exponential scaling.

interesting coin. does anyone know what's the advantage to use SHA224 as opposed to SHA256? Is it just a similar algorithm? or the dev choose it because it has some technical advantages?
Hi, I picked SHA224 because it was well documented. I've been thinking about switching to KECCAK / SHA-3, but not a priority at the moment.

The mining problem was caused by an issue in pyinstaller --onefile combined with multiprocessing. The issue is now fixed. Please re-download at https://github.com/hclivess/Bismuth/releases/tag/1.22

Be careful, issues have been reported with the new miner (spawning unlimited subprocesses)

@HCLivess i've sent you a message to join slack.
Hi, I have not received it f it was a PM
please send again[email protected] is my email (better here)
December 05, 2016, 08:19:31 AM
really no people, you have check
Because they timeout and fork after 8 hours
Experimental fix to be released today. December 05, 2016, 08:18:55 AM

nope he's not checked, there is people i can assure you :-) theres people testing out the mining and also people in slack :-)

How can I join the testnet?
No way. No people there.
December 04, 2016, 01:55:17 PM
I do not understand, what will get testers for their help and the loss of time and resources?
Where in your wallet can be seen that it synchronizes?

You will know what to expect with the launch of the mainnet and see if it's worth mining or anything.
