Bismuth is now re-branded to Stallion - fast, light, strong, free black horse
at the same time, this is internal sync mechanism name, but I like it
Why rebrand:
Nobody knows what Bismuth is / or they think it's a laxative
Bismuth sounds like Helmuth
Stallion appeals to power/growth/dominance/black horse
Stallion has nice graphics materials readily available
Stallion is easy to remember
Odds:
Sounds like Stalin

How to back up the wallet file, it is stored in what directory
How can I send a coin
How can I send a coin
privkey.der or privkey_encrypted.der
pubkey.der
in the directory where you installed to, Program Files (x86) by default
to send coins, open node.exe (start) and gui.exe (overview)
i should make changes to naming

how can i know my hashrate and the network hashrate ... also controlling the number of cores mining
Hi, you can change the number of threads in config.txt, that should roughly correspond to the number of cores.
I haven't paid much attention to the concept of hashrate so far, haven't found a use for it yet. However, I'll see if I can add it to the miner as an informative measure. We are using the concept of timestamp when creating new blocks, instead of nonce. We we might be resistant to ASIC by design, because nonce is random, but timestamp follows certain rules.
Network hashrate would then be derived from block speed propagation, average timestamps and difficulty.
EDIT: hashrate (rough estimate) code added for the next release:

Testnet release 1.95
https://github.com/hclivess/Bismuth/releases/tag/1.95
Miner code reorganized, will not ask for the password multiple times
error was caused by moving freeze https://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.freeze_support
Updated and testing now! Good job HClivess! https://github.com/hclivess/Bismuth/releases/tag/1.95

Good job HClivess! Nice wallet!
Can be improved with 2 more buttons, on bottom left: "export" "import" wallet or "backup" - "recover"

ok, will add those
Code:
import Tkinter,tkFileDialog
root = Tkinter.Tk()
file = tkFileDialog.askopenfile(parent=root,mode='rb',title='Choose a file')
if file != None:
data = file.read()
file.close()
print "I got %d bytes from this file." % len(data)

what are the steps left to be done so mainnet would be online
rollback attack security and me coming back from California

welcome @topcoiner!
nice to see more testers, finnaly this topic is getting alive..
I'm glad to help with testing. What's about ICO, I think that it's not important to have an escrow. Do it like NXT had.nice to see more testers, finnaly this topic is getting alive..
the ICO will be for Clarity, Clarity is the ICO corporate version of Bismuth and for the best interest for everyone with the amount of scams that are out there an escrow would be a good idea for piece of mind for investor and to build trust within the Bismuth/Clarity and crypto community's :-).
What is Clarity?
Clarity is a super stable version of Bismuth, which will be released separately. Clarity to Bismuth is what RedHat is to Fedora. New features will be tested in Bismuth first, and then added to Clarity later. This way, Bismuth will be secured by two networks (tesnet+mainnet) and Clarity will be secured by three (Bismuth testnet+Bismuth mainnet+Clarity mainnet). Clarity will be funded by ICO, and the funds will pour into Bismuth. Using this model, the Bismuth blockchain will not be clouded by funding and people will still have an opportunity to invest to get an instant share in Clarity.
more information to follow in the future :-)
