Title: Bounty offer for OTR experts
Post by: rini17 on November 29, 2013, 04:41:23 PM
My IRC OTR experience so far was a disaster (even irssi-otr doesn't work right (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505269) for me, but I hate irssi anyway), it's time to have to have one good alternative implementation.

See here: https://github.com/rufoa/znc-otr/issues/1

For start, 1 bitcoin bounty is considered, I'm open to discuss.

Uhm, I'm not recognized as an OTR expert :), but would you accept it if its doing proper OTR messaging ?

I see the github repo you linked lists several issues with the module, why did you pick that module ? Which IRC client(s) will be using ? What OS ? This needs to be answered in order to define a proper solution and decide whether 1 BTC is good for it or not.

Not sure if you aren't troll... from the link it should be obvious that I'm using ZNC IRC bouncer and want to fix otr implementation for it. There is no other otr implementation for znc. I'm using it under Linux, don't know which other platforms znc-otr is supposed to support, that 's up to programmer.

From your message, the only obvious thing is that there's link pointing to znc-otr. Its never mentioned that you were using it, it sounded more like "look here for a reference", nor that you had interest in using it. So I'm either leaving it to someone else, or if you decide that I'm not a troll I can reconsider it.

you are not troll, what now?

Now I can consider looking at it, just that.

If I resolve the issue, I will hand you out the entire code, or if you prefer we can escrow it. After receiving you send half of the amount combined (which is not combined yet), if it works I ask you to send the other half. In case you consider it fully broken, we can ask someone else to check it out and I will send back the first half.

Sorry, I just found another programmer. Will let you know if that falls through.

Is there a date limit for this ?
