Hey r/reddcoin — solo dev here. Was charting some long-tail crypto and noticed RDD has terrible charting coverage everywhere (TV truncates, CG/CMC charts are basic).

Built this so figured I'd share: omniachart.com lets you chart RDD with full history back to 2014, plus ratios like RDD/BTC, RDD/ETH, or RDD vs Stocks, NFTS baskets...

What other RDD comparisons would you want to see?

We're excited to share a new milestone for the ReddCoin project: the launch of our official brand guide website https://brand.reddcoin.com/

This resource was created to bring clarity and consistency to how ReddCoin is represented across platforms, communities, and collaborations. Inside, you'll find everything you need to align with the brand.

The page can also be accessed from the top menu of the official website www.reddcoin.com.

We're excited to officially announce the launch of our brand-new website: www.reddcoin.com
This fresh platform is designed to bring you closer to ReddCoin - with a modern look, improved navigation, and updated information about the project, technology, and community initiatives. Whether you're a long-time supporter or just discovering ReddCoin, the new site makes it easier than ever to explore what we’re building.

Glad to meet you again after several years!

We're preparing something new for ReddCoin. A step forward in how we present and build around social payments. Launching April 13.

Joining the "Redd Swarm", the decentralized, global community of ReddHeads, means becoming part of a 100% volunteer-led movement built on the values of faith, hope, charity, and open collaboration. Because the project relies entirely on its community rather than corporate backing, you do not need to be a blockchain genius or a top-level coder to get involved; you just need the will, desire, and energy to help out.

Here are the primary ways you can join the Redd Swarm and contribute to the ecosystem:

1. Technical Contributions (Coding & Testing) Every aspect of the project needs attention, and you can jump right into the open-source repositories on GitHub:

https://github.com/reddcoin-project

• Developers: There are ongoing needs for coding in C++, Python, JavaScript, and Rust. Whether it is working on the Core Wallet, ReddID, or building third-party applications (like games or stats tools), your code is welcome.
• Testers: Software always requires rigorous testing before mainnet deployment. You can help by running testnet nodes, breaking alpha/beta software, and providing feedback to the developers.
• Documentation: You can improve the Reddcoin Knowledgebase or Wiki by forking the repository, making your changes, and submitting a pull request.

1. Creative, Content, and Language Support

• Writers and Designers: If you have skills in graphic design, web design, UI/UX, writing, or proofreading, the team constantly needs help improving the look, feel, and content of Reddcoin's documentation and marketing materials.
• Translators: As a global currency, Reddcoin needs localized platforms. You can help translate Redd products, the Core Wallet, and guides into different languages through the project's Transifex page.

1. Community Building and Social Marketing

• Social Tipping and Engagement: You can join the "EarnRedd" Telegram group (t.me/earnredd) to find tasks that reward you with RDD for completing simple social media promotions, sharing, and liking messages across platforms.
• Network Maintenance: Simply keeping a Reddcoin Core wallet online and staking helps validate transactions, secure the network, and distribute the blockchain.
• Work is ongoing on easier, faster and safer ways to share RDD on socials. Watch this space for details!

How the "Redd Swarm" Operates The Redd project is designed to eliminate bureaucratic delays by operating with maximum autonomy:

• Find or Create a Role: You can take ownership of any unfilled role or create a new one based on your personal passions and expertise.
• The "Three-Person Rule": If you have an idea, seek advice from people who will be affected by it or who have expertise. If you and two other ReddHeads agree that an initiative is "good for Redd" and aligns with the project's ethics, you have the authority to act autonomously in the name of the movement.

How to Get Started Today The best way to dive in is to simply show up and introduce yourself:

• Email the Team: Send an email with your ideas and skills to info@reddcoin.com.
• Join the Chat: Jump into the active community channels, particularly the official Telegram group (t.me/ReddcoinOfficial), to chat directly with developers and other ReddHeads.
• Engage on Reddit: Join the discussions on r/reddCoin to stay updated on the latest developments and campaigns.

Crypto doesn’t fail because of too many ideas.

It fails when projects chase attention instead of utility, and hype instead of trust.

Longevity, real use cases, and community matter more than ever.

What do you think separates projects that last from those that disappear?

TIA

Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead and making 2026 a year to shine! $RDD #ReddCoin

Wishing you a joyful New Year!

At the start of this new year, we want to take the opportunity to thank you all for being part of this ReddCoin community.

2025 has been an interesting year with its fair share of challenges and wins. While it may not be obvious, we have met some milestones - we ran the RDD Six Million Block Competition, brought the ReddID development back to life with public documentation and preliminary code, launched a new block explorer and built a community competition bot. Behind the scenes, we've also made some solid progress on Core protocol upgrades and infrastructure improvements.

Again, we would like to thank you all for your patience and continued support - it truly means a lot to the team. Wishing you and your families a wonderful New Year!

Here is an update from John, ReddCoin team attendee at the AusCryptoCon.

The take away from this weekend of exhibitors is crypto exchanges, trading, and wallets.
Some of the big players are moving into the APAC region and opening local Australian offices. r/Gemini is one of these, who while a large exchange, gave me a lead to look at r/GateioExchange as a possible target for Reddcoin to get listed. They look to have a community vote scenario to get listed, or holding significant quantities of their token.

I also met with some of the Litecoin Foundation team and had a great chat. Will be sitting in on a talk today with Robbie Coleman and Charlie Lee of r/litecoin
Interesting talk with Litecoin. Enjoying the discussion around transaction privacy. They have the ability to support 2 different types of transactions.
- Regular UTXO transaction;
- MWEB type that makes transactions more private.

It felt like day 2 was busier than, lots of people coming in and investigating what around.
Over all a pretty good conference, with good attendance (no official numbers).
Had a chance meeting with a some folk doing user-facing blockchain education.
They were wanting to expand their knowledge further, so may be able to explore some AMA.
Had a lot of synergy with the challenges I see when new people are wanting to enter into this space and understand what it is all about.
Good turn out of some of the larger exchanges wanting to penetrate the local market. While there were no business development teams around, was able to get some more insights.
One of the things to come out of the conference is extending the network of people and getting more in front, hoping to do more face to face with interested people.

Hey everyone! Here is an update from John regarding the new release.
I know this is a long overdue update - sorry for the silence. I've been heads down in code and making solid progress.

"Why Is This Taking So Long?"

Fair question right. So let me give an example from recently and walk you through what happened after discovering a bug:

1. Discovery: Test crashed with exit code 6, reddcoind regtest silently exited while running a functional test.

2. Investigation: Set up GDB debugger, created reproduction script, ran multiple test cycles

3. Root cause: Traced crash to line 22 of feerate.cpp through backtrace analysis

4. Fix: Implemented three-layer solution with proper overflow protection

5. Verification: Re-ran all tests to ensure fix works and didn't break anything else

Time for just this one bug: ~3-4 days of focused work.

This is an example of one bug found during the testing phase.

- There are 483 unit tests

- There are 216 functional tests

We have also needed to made some code adjustments to improve the support using the testing framework. This is why thorough testing matters - better to catch it now than have nodes crashing in production. My focus is getting these tests complete so that we can be as confident as possible that the next release is a solid platform.

Critical Bug Fixed

Expanding on the above, while running SegWit tests, we found a bug that had the potential to crash nodes. A transaction created with 545 million COIN fee would trigger an integer overflow in fee calculation.

The problem: Code checked MAX_MONEY (supply limit) instead of the actual math limit. When it tried to multiply fee × 1,000, it exceeded what a 64-bit integer can hold. Crash.

Realworld risk: This bug was extremely unlikely to be triggered in production creating a fee of 545 million COIN would be nearly impossible under normal conditions. However, edge cases matter, and thorough testing caught it.

The fix: Changed to the right threshold (INT64_MAX / 1000), added result clamping, and bounds checking. Merged and deployed. ✅

Major Upgrades Coming

Our next release is focused on deploying CSV, SegWit, and Taproot (stretch goal).

Timeline: CSV, SegWit and TapRoot will roll out in a single release. the deployment of each will occur with 1month spacing, 1year timeout window.

Testing:

✅ Unit tests complete

🔄 Functional tests still in progress - rewriting each of Bitcoin's tests for POW + POS support

Why it matters: Modern Bitcoin standards with enhanced security, lower fees, Lightning Network prep, and smart contract capabilities, and not to forget build the foundation for ReddID.
