I'll try to come up with some more

Will

Hmmm... while these are very interesting projects they are not actually commercial. If there are not enoigh commercial projects of importance to vote on should we simply allow all projects? The idea was to possibly find a sponsor for a price for the next round.

The only commercial project I can come up with myself is mycelium wallet....

BitVegas (http://bitvegas.net/)?
The WinkleVoss ETF?

Bump!

I changed the rules to allow commercial and open source projects. Also it will be Project of the Quarter as every month seems to be too much.


Some suggestions:

There is a new version of CoinControl https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144331

Bitcoin the Documentary https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149892 (no idea about the current status)

Bitmessage https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=128230.0  (great project but not directly Bitcoin related so I am hesitating)

The holy grail (Decentralized everything) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=212490.0


What else?

Just to give credit where it's due the micropayments work was based on a design by me, tweaked by Jeremy Spilman and the code was mostly written by Matt Corallo with me reviewing. So Matt deserves the bulk of the credit. And of course it's all basically just implementing ideas by Satoshi anyway.

I'd like to nominate http://www.bitcointrezor.com/ if it's according to the rules.

Of course, good one!

What about this? :)

https://i.imgur.com/mxBvy5E.png

I'd like to nominate http://kipochi.com Pelle B. and his team.

This is a great project

hmm... this is an online wallet with private keys on the server? Is there discussion about it's safety somewhere?



Check. I waited for this one  ;D

Anything else?

Thanks for the suggestions! Now open for voting  ;D

Is it to late to nominate?

im excited about a lot of these projects but the prospect of bringing bitcoin to the only society that is accustomed to using digital currency is HUGE

Yup, please save your suggestions for the next round.

Native English speakers: how does Project of the Season sound to you? Better than quarter? In German it reminds me a little of vegetable ;)

Quartal-Auflauf? I don't follow.

without winkelvoss, we may never have true legitimacy

maybe we shouldn't emphasize gambling too much but https://just-dice.com/ does come up with some innovations.

"true legitimacy"? Like the current criminal financial system?

Looks like a synthesizer for gambling. Keep in mind for the next round.

Yeah like currently widely accepted. Sadly winkelvoss are the only ones that can bring legitimacy, eg. no more bank accounts getting seized.

Bitcoin trezor is my vote. Without crowndfounding are in preorder.

How on earth does the winklevoss ETF avoid bank accounts getting seized?

For some in-depth analysis of that stuff interested people can read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252330.0

They have money and connections. They are a rich white family. We need them at this point.

Go to harvard, be famous in a movie, your family is super rich. That is how.

They might even be Jews. I'm so glad they are on our side.

While we're discussion gambling, how about a world-wide bitcoin lotto?

What makes you think that?

The Bitcoin Education Project never even got a mention? Shame on you.

shame on you for not nominating it ;)

Trezor is the shit! I especially like the forward thinking ad photo on their site showing the two gay men staring at a computer screen during a candlelit dinner overlooking the city backdrop. Very romantic!

+1

lol. You sound like another hacked account.

Scroll to the bottom and tell me that's not what it looks like: http://www.bitcointrezor.com/ (http://www.bitcointrezor.com/)

I don't see candles.. Just street and city lights.

lol! those dudes are stick and slush, the creators of trezor. Both have girlfriends afaik. It's still possible they're gay and I couldn't care less. I agree it looks romantic, though. lmao.

just-dice
Remade gambling  ;)

That said I never heard of Trezor now I am interested and votes for that

been suggested here before: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251087.msg2734923#msg2734923

and postponed: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251087.msg2734945#msg2734945

Ah shoot
Fine Dabs lottery since hes lurking this thread ^_^
And I wanted to nominate something not on the list ha-ha

Edit: Would Ultimate Blockchain Compression Cavirtex Bitcoin Shorting ANN or Project Klondike by BKKcoins count or is that for Q4

I'm jealous. They are geniuses and know how to get romantic.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitcoinlife/life-on-bitcoin-a-documentary-film

Seriously? No one thought of this?

bro its on the list

The list is meaningless fluff. We've brought thousands of people into Bitcoin in just a few months and have a great platform to internationalize Bitcoin adoption over the coming months. Have fun with your vanity poll.

Jesus Christ Charles, you don't have to be on the top of every list. Let someone else have a turn. I think everyone knows and appreciates what you've done for the community. Lord knows you've shoved it up our collective asses enough times.

No every pissing match is important to him

What is this project you talk about? I never heard of it. I tried googling, but couldn't find it.

Just hit ignore on the Italian, many already have

http://btcedproject.org/

Interesting


This goal was set by Max Keiser and Tony Gallippi in November 2011 already. I'm unsure wether or not one could say they reached it.

A good project, Charles, but no reason to discredit other projects.

Incorrect. This is an entirely separate endeavor.

You can post Nominations for Q4, too, but you may need to remind me again.  :P

Also we have now reached 99 voters!

Side dishes of the season (Beilagen nach Saison) :P

Great thread, really hard to make a decision on which project to vote, but it's nice to see a collection of all the cool stuff currently going on.

Edit: Seems like I had a kind of a "Blackout" when I quoted this. Totally missed that this thread already had 3 Pages.

I really can't say wether the Winklevoss ETF is a good thing or maybe even a potential attack vector.

These guys are probably still loaded with coins. You bet it's a good thing.

I'm somewhat sceptic. Just due to that with Bitcoin a thing like a ETF is IMO completely unnecessary. That I don't need a third party to hold value for me is one of the benefits.

But well, if people want it. And before anything it needs to get approved anyway.

I'm not discrediting other projects, but BEP was excluded for some reason. BEP has been broadcast very thoroughly. We were even on Let's Talk Bitcoin:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBrQ07aPsL0

And our project has both connections and funding. For example, we have commitments to translate the core lecture series into German, Spanish, French, Russian, Greek and Chinese. We were already mentioned in forbes and we are a partner with Bitcoin Magazine:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2013/05/13/6-new-bitcoin-educational-resources/

http://bitcoinmagazine.com/bitcoin-magazine-proud-to-be-a-partner-of-the-bitcoin-education-project/

These links are just a sample of how far we've gone in just two months. It really does feel like an exclusion to me.

yes yes, your project is great, but your personal behavior here actually keeps me from liking it.

BEP wasn't excluded. It was simply not included because noone nominated it.

You come in here claiming


because of this.

That's clearly discrediting all other projects on the list.

wtf, dude? That's just unbelievably arrogant.

As Mol pointed out your project simply was not nominated in time. Please be patient for the next round.

The two romantic guys with their Trezor are pretty much dominating this round so maybe we should have a second and third place, too  8)

This isn't my project. It is a community built and maintained educational effort seeking to both globalize and benefit everyone in the Crypto-Currency community. We are even reaching out to altcoins and projects like BitMessage to better broadcast their efforts and unique utility. I get defensive whenever our project is excluded from a list like this because it's more than an attack on me, it's an attack on the now 25 volunteers who have committed their time without compensation to help us advance BEP's goals.


What is arrogant is to build a list without any effort to market nominations for some reasonable period of time (say a month) and then say its a representative list of innovative projects. You say BEP wasn't nominated, BEP wasn't even aware of this until just a few days ago nor were our thousands of students. I say it's fluff because this appears to simply be a vanity poll without any representative sample of the community as a whole. There are a lot of projects not on this list gathering huge community excitement, but I guess they weren't nominated.

Have fun with your vanity poll, I have no more time for this thread.

It's just that bitcoin is now big enough to make it hard to know everything that is going on surrounding it
No need to get pissed off, there is room for everybody

That's true information is important I'm happy to see its growing so big that were starting to have challenges keeping track of it all :)

I can say with pretty high confidence congrats Slush and Stick

And the winner is:

Total of 126 votes.

Thanks to everyone for participating! See you in Autumn 2013

Thank you for this competition and especially for your votes! Your support is much appreciated and means a lot to us.

You are welcome! What about a free Trezor for the winner of 2013BPQ4? ;D

Basically there is not advantage of TREZOR to a paper wallet + Mycelium App (http://ow.ly/pYX0c).

But the concept is nice for people who do not own a smartphone.

A paper wallet has no pin to protect from theft effectively. A paper wallet only holds 1 key, trezor has a whole tree of keys. A paper wallet doesn't do signatures, your phone does and at that point the key is potentially compromised.

Agree - then simply use Mycelium or any other smartphone wallet on a secured samrtphone only. It even has the advantage of possible backups. Currently I just see the price advantage for TREZOR

Oh this is where we've all been so wrong, we all forgot to use secure smartphones for our mobile wallets! How could we have been so blind? I will definitely be using a certified 100% infallibly secure smartphone with my Bitcoin wallet now that my eyes are open.

Is your smartphone designed by the NSA for Obama or something? I'm not aware of any commercially available secure smartphone. Even a fresh Android phone would have still had the RNG problem. Maybe Ubuntu's phone? But then, how do you really know it's secure? As long as it can 'talk' to the internet without you physically being aware of it, I would have a hard time calling that really secure.

Trezor is exactly that- a 'safe'.

Please take the TREZOR discussion to the proper place: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=122438.0


Looking for a sponsor for the next BPQ: Autumn 2013

The price would go to one of the votees (poll participants).

So then - what happens if your TREZOR has a technical problem eg. after dipping into water ? Or what happens if it is stolen - you loose the content but nobody else can use it. I won't call that safe.

On the other side it is questionable if bigger amounts of fiat money was ever safe in our hands.

Please read up about TREZOR and then take the discussion somewhere else.

Nominations for Autumn 2013 are open. Post now (one sentence description and link is welcome).

Looking for a sponsor! Price money will go to one of the voters.

We have an open position in our marketing. Please PM me your resume.

sent.  :P      (it was all about the 81)

Also waiting for your nomination.

I'd like to see Moneychanger nominated. :)

KnCMiner team did a good job.

you don't say! ;-)

glad you made it this time.

I nominate
The DarkWallet Project
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ouo7Q6Cf_yc#t

DarkWallet will store a user’s Bitcoins and interact with the Bitcoin network, allowing the owner to spend and receive the currency. But unlike other wallets, DarkWallet is designed specifically to preserve and even enhance the properties of Bitcoin that make it a potentially anonymous, tough-to-trace coin of the Internet underground.

“If Bitcoin represents anything to us, it’s the ability to forbid the government,”

Let a few mouths foam at the nomination but it is an interesting concept back to our roots in a sense
http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/10/31/darkwallet-aims-to-be-the-anarchists-bitcoin-app-of-choice/

Crowdfunding page
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bitcoin-dark-wallet

Check. How could I forget about that.

Any more Nominations?

I nominate Icominer. Unity plugin developer Icoplay has come up with a new way for developers to monetize free apps on the App Store while avoiding in-app purchases, through the use of Bitcoin mining.

http://icoplay.com/plugins/#icominer (http://icoplay.com/plugins/#icominer)

Isn't this quite pointless with the current difficulty?  Maybe not if they mine scrypt coins, but even then, it is probably much more waste of energy than if the users donated directly a fraction of their energy costs.

From their website:

"3) Will I be a millionaire?
No. You won’t earn thousands of Bitcoins by doing this, but with their value fluctuating so wildly we can’t guess what you’ll earn. This is an experiment, a deliberate step out of the comfortable practices of F2P. Maybe this isn’t the best solution, but we’ll only ever find a better model by experimenting. We may be the first to do distributed monetisation, but we won’t be the last. Our main goal is to make innovative and productive software that people want to use – if there are problems, we really really want to solve them."

But think about this a moment: Every cell phone in the world running the app in the background relaying transactions. For free you get increased network strength from people that aren't even connected to or care about Bitcoin, you get publicity because people will need to read about Bitcoin to decide whether or not they want to opt to allow the program to run and a new group of developers looking into Bitcoin and seeing the value in having some. I think it's a win if it gets off the ground.

But does each cellphone really relay transactions? I thought it was just doing hashes.

I'm not sure how it will work. It's still in development. The advertisement value alone is priceless. If you download an app you can pay for it with Bitcoins without knowing what Bitcoins are. Bitcoins? How do they work? Maybe I should get some?

See my point.

GPU powered bitcoin miner - mining on a phone - come on...   

I already have a bad conscience because I let inputs.io on the list though I knew better:

I guess it wouldn't get any votes then anyway. I think it's great that Bitcoin knowledge will spread to people that aren't already interested. What other project will do that? Even the education project can't do that because you already need to be interested to look at the info. With this you don't have to give two shits about Bitcoin and you'll find out what it is because you will have to read an agreement allowing the dev of the app you want to mine on your phone. Kind of like a mining bot that gets permission from the zombie owners.

OK. You are right, it is not up to me to judge.  :)


icominer
User visible iOS background in app GPU mining to monetize free apps.
http://icoplay.com/plugins/#icominer

Could not find a thread on bitcointalk... please point me to it if you know of one.

quite honestly I don't think either of these make sense... at all. Nice idea and all, but not practical.

relaying: just relaying at the mobile station would make much more sense. It's not like phones communicate with one another (yet, but looking at opengarden or similar projects, we might be getting to a point where phones build meshnets, then it might make sense)

hashing: really?!?

The game is on. Vote!

I voted for darkwallet, because I think cryptocurrency doesn't work without (the possibility of) anonymity and darkwallet could be a big step towards more widespread use of the possibilities the blockchain gives us.

I don't know of a thread on it here. I was talking to a guy in a coffee shop in SF about Bitcoin and he told me about it.

Exactly!  Also my favourite, even though I nominated Moneychanger ... didn't think about Dark Wallet at that time.  But since I'm involved (a bit) in Moneychanger anyway, it wouldn't be fair to vote for it. ;)

After 24h KncMiner and DarkWallet have made a head start with both 15 votes.

What Molecular and Domob said and since I nominated Dark Wallet I had to vote for it :P

I would like to nominate the Bitwasp Project: http://bitmerchant.tk/ (http://bitmerchant.tk/)

For the moment it has the looks of a open source silk road, but they are thinking about branching out and making a truly useful service that could support community group purchasing, fundraising, crowdfunding, etc....

Let alone the importance for privacy in digital cash...

Having Caedes involved in Bitcoin development is just priceless.

Plus the thing is made in Calafou, a dwelling of reality hackers - and endorsed by Enric Duran (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/sep/19/spain) the "robin bank" promoter of the right of rebellion (http://www.derechoderebelion.net/version-imprimir/english-version/) manifesto

Darkwallet forevah. Its almost too epic to be a single project.  :D

Bitcoin Education Project

Education and quality information is the basis of a sane society !

This is really needed... Some central source of good information, wich could became THE reference.

Looks very interesting but nominations are closed and voting is running... so I think it should wait till the next round (please remind me :P).

Hive all the way!

Nice surprise poll, guys. :)

Why surprise?

no prob!

Good point. FYI Stackexchange has opened a bitcoin section in beta http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/

Plus there is the ever green Bitcoin wiki, there since the beginning https://en.bitcoin.it  8)

Congratulations!

BPS Winter 2014 - open for nominations - reply now with your suggestion

I nominate Huntercoin.

I always need to track this thread when it comes around
Saving slot like last time if I see an interesting idea appear :)
(I'll throw in the 1000 dollar ATM the Skyhook for now)
http://www.coindesk.com/skyhooks-open-source-bitcoin-atm/

Hmmm is that a Bitcoin Project? I am a little worried all the altcoins will try to jump on board...


Any decentralized exchanges that are already usable?  :-X

Ok, I see your concern here.  While it is certainly one of the most interesting altcoins to date (besides Namecoin of course :D), I can understand that it is not a Bitcoin Project.  So I'll leave it to you to decide whether or not it is a candidate.  I have no real Bitcoin projects I want to nominate at the moment, though.

Interesting. I just realized I'm not aware of a single new cool project in Bitcoin.


That's really disappointing, hope I will learn there are some and I just don't see them anymore, due to the noise in this place.  :-\

I nominate MtGox - site response fantastically increased while serving the blank page only.

Open source Bitcoin project called Bitcore from BitPay Team.I think the next years come will be all about mobile payments.
http://bitcore.io

If you decide against Huntercoin, what about libcoin?  A refactored Bitcoin library that can be used in custom software projects much more easily than the original client code.

To my knowledge Mastercoins still got that area even have their own forum campaign although I have heard of Next and a few other projects
Wouldn't consider them close to complete yet :)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=484396.0;topicseen

To help with that is exactly the purpose of BPS  ;D

OK, great. BTW freedomno1 the same goes for Skyhook.

Hell yeah.

It does not have to be complete...  but it should not be a scam either ;)

What else? It almost seems like everybody was occupied with watching charts and drama  >:(

I nominate the winkledex  :D

I forgot if Artistic projects related to bitcoin count or if we are just going with Technical development but if not then I'll nominate a bitcoin related webcomic  (1st Actual Nomination ^^)

From my childhood in Siberia, to my romance with legendary bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto.
It is satoshi's girl  ;D
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=471839.0

sure, artistic projects are fine

I saw this in my newsfeed so I'll give a nomination to Neobee for launching officially

Need more nominations ^^

Yes, how could I forget that!  They are definitely worth a nomination!

OK

Here is another good one: http://torrentfreak.com/bitcoin-donations-now-integrated-into-bittorrent-client-140227/
Bitcoin BitTorrent integration in FrostWire

Not sure if I can nominate, as I am a member, but The Wasp Open Hardware Project will be the talk of the town...

If you post a link to the thread explaining it, anyone is welcome to nominate a project even newbies as long as its bitcoin related and a fairly new project.

I'll add details for you but feel free to add your own
BitWasp is an open source PHP project which aims to lower the barrier of entry for anyone wishing to set up a bitcoin marketplace. Bitwasp is designed to operate independantly of centralized services, and runs it's own bitcoin server to track payments.

That said something has caught my eye

I nominate the Ethereum project it is a decentralized crytocurrency platform that may become an integral part of Bitcoins future.

A cryptocurrency network that intends to be as generalized as possible, allowing anyone to create specialized applications on top for almost any purpose imaginable. The project: Ethereum.

Ethereum aims to be a superior foundational protocol, and allow other decentralized applications to build on top of it instead of Bitcoin, giving them more tools to work with and allowing them to gain the full benefits of Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency.

PS: I nominated three technically (Satoshigirl, Neobee, and Ethereum) The atm I consider an honorable mention since there was no nomination limit as long as its new :)

Sure you can.

thanks

naaah, sorry, this is not a Bitcoin project but competition imho.

all in order :)


I will set up the poll later today.

Voting is open!

Please cross check the entry descriptions.

few voters

so sad

I think it gets buried in spam sadly

Yes, this place has become way to noisy. Especially for users that go by "Show unread posts since last visit." to browse the Forum (and don't have set Boards on Ignore).

Yup. It wonder if it's any better on the foundation forum (not that I like the foundation too much).

Probally is less spam since you need to pay to get in

Too late too add as a submission but I'm sure you guys can enjoy these videos  ;D

still, next season will do fine. voted.

Proposal: www.bitcoinreminder.com :D

Trying reddit for some moar publicity:

I like the comic of Satoshi's Girl. I find it quite interesting. A nice story

Added the wasp open ASIC and bitcoinreminder.com to pre nominations for the next season.

Getting close to the finish line...

Thanks for nominating my project, Bitwasp, as project of the season. Some of the links I posted on the Bitwasp thread here are a little outdated, so I may as well write a little about us here.

We had hoped to make an alpha release in December, but have put this off in order to have the site support multisignature transactions. Escrow, or upfront payments, are all done using 2-of-3 addresses. It's a little manual at the moment, but I hope to make it really simple once BIP32 extended keys are out there.

All the transactions are scraped from the blockchain, so the site never holds the coins, (or any private keys), meaning if the site goes offline coins are recoverable by the buyer/vendor over another channel. Disputes are done by crafting a new raw transaction for the users to sign.

There is a feedback system for buyers, vendors, and items purchased, to help people assess the rating of the others. I'm actually pretty close to having multisig working in Bitwasp, this should follow in the next week or two. Someone has volunteered their time to create a new responsive layout for Bitwasp, so sites will look great on all devices. He's trying to make it as customizable as possible so people can develop their own in the future.

I think the demand for multisig is huge.. Our goal is to make commerce with bitcoin as simple and safe as possible. We have a test site, http://test.bit-wasp.org (not currently demoing the multisig stuff, just a live wallet), and forums at http://bit-wasp.org.

Thanks again!

Sounds good, thanks for elaborating!

And the winner is BitWasp! Congratulations!

Congrats Bitwasp  :D

Indeed, a worthy project!

Is there a logo? I could not find one.

Thanks everyone! We have one logo on github https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/1475958?s=300 We haven't put much work into that yet!
