Whenever I launch the bitcredit QT, I keep getting "Bitcredit: No block source available..." "2 weeks behind"
What's that about o.O

the bitcoin is synching just fine, 4 yrs 3 weeks behind right now

Give it time to connect to the network.. Mine took about 2 minutes before it say peers on the bitcredit network.
I've had the QT launched for about 15 minutes now :/
Bitcoin sync is at 3 yrs 30 weeks now ----- 8 active connections to the network
Bitcredit still No block source available ----- 6 active connections to the network

When I synced up I had to wait for the bitcoin blockchain to sync before it would sync the bitcredit blockchain.

May I ask if you did get it to work eventually?

Yes it started working after about 1.5 days of syncing (bitcoin), I was able to start mining shortly after.

I had some issues with a memory leak or maybe just the client using alot of memory while syncing the BTC bockchain.

I just want to add, this is an interesting coin. I think I'll keep mining it with one of my computers.

That is very good to hear. Keep an eye here and on the board http://bitcredit-currency.org/. It will continually be updated with more information and detailed descriptions on usage and on the Bitcredit protocol. Source will be published eventually.
