PMed

I can confirm Romoku is a legitimate buyer and everything went very dandy. It was a pleasure.

Would do business again.

Auction has ended @ 1 BTC + shipping.

Final bump. About 15 hours left with bid of 1 BTC.

Also I am gonna be AFK until tomorrow morning, so either post a bid here or PM the bid.

And I am kinda guessing no one else will bid (since not many people would want a 360 with no cord or brick), so I just wanted to tell everyone I am serious about fulfilling the auction.

-- Open Transactions is open-source, written in C++, object-oriented, and includes a high-level API in Java, Ruby, Python, C, D, C++, Obj-C, C#, Lisp, Perl, PHP, and Tcl.

Once you compile it you should be able to use it in the language of your choice.  For python you would "import namespace" for C# you will need to add the the DLL you built to the references then use the "using namespace".  PHP would add it to the global namespace I think.  C/D/C++/Obj-C you would need to copy the headers and library and link against it.  That is if you intend to use their implementation of the protocol rather then starting from scratch.

I see. I don't know how I would start from scratch as this project looks way more complex than I can just "jump into." I believe I would be able to write a client okay after about 192 hours of playing around, but with the server I have no idea. I've never done any formal networking course work or programmed on the network stack.

How I think a server works:

while (1)
wait for connection

I guess I just need to dive in at this point because the more specific abstract issues come up, the less that reference material .

And I have no idea of where to get started making daemons or windows services.

Also thanks for the discussion everyone.

Final bump... Offer still valid.

I already know C++, C#, and a little Python and C. I'm a CS major at my university, I'm just struggling with third party libraries and how to use them.

Which libraries?  Or more specifically what do you want to do?

"Server Side Requests" can be either with a web server or writing your own implementation from scratch.

I'm attempting to write a server and client for Open Transactions.

https://github.com/FellowTraveler/Open-Transactions/

I can get the general point to most of the code as I have been taking notes on it little by little.

https://github.com/Romoku/OT-Documentation

It's just hard trying to figure out how his code works as he uses some unorthodox methods (at least that I have never encountered) such as:

if (pContract = (*ii).second) // if not null

When I looked at that piece of code it made me go WTF, but essentially it assigns a value to a pointer and if the pointer isn't null it executes the code.

I don't know if that is the "right" way of doing it or if it will cause issues down the line.

Learn a language.  You can't start writing scientific papers without first knowing english.

I would recommend python.

- Comes with a terminal/command prompt that allows you to evaluate expressions.
- Lots of shortcuts to make life easier along with a strong set of built in libraries.
- The python community within bitcoin is fairly strong so you will have a lot of code examples.
- The module interface is fairly easy to understand compared to say the imports in C.  Also tons of libraries that are easy to use and install via easy_install or pip.

I would recommend learning C at some point because it is fairly important to know and understand.  The problem with C and C++ is implementing 3rd party libs are funky at best.  The amount of pain needed to build a bunch of libraries for a programs dependencies is agonizing.  Also development on windows with C/C++ is god aweful.  Some programs/libraries will only build on GCC and others only MSVC.  >_<

Erlang will leave you frustrated but it is an interesting language.  Functional languages are nifty but the library support is lacking and often times the syntax is extremely verbose and frustrating.

C# is ok.  Especially if you start out using linq as it will make life easier.  Only downside is you are limited to windows only then unless you take special care to be compatible with mono.

First bid for 1 BTC. 24 hours before current bid ends.

I don't really have a way to post pictures of it  Embarrassed, but I can text cell phone pics. Bidding starts 1 BTC and shipping will be factored in at the end.

I haven't used the thing in years since the power brick fried and I bought a new 360, so I runs like new and it *should* have original firmware for all you modders.

I'll end the auction 24 hours after the last post.

And I forgot to say I have no way of testing it to see if it works, but I was able to use it at a LAN party with someone else's brick about a year ago.

However, if it is DOA then you can keep it and I'll reimburse 90% or I'll pay the winner to send it back.

Edit: Screw it, the bidding starts at 1 BTC in exchange for 24 hour end time, enjoy.

Did you register it for the warranty?

Topic says it all. Post an offer or send a pm.

Not to hijack this thread, but I would like one aswell. (@op i'll delete this if you feel it's hijacking Smiley)

If anyone wants to post buy or sell then go ahead. The more competition the better the rate will be.

i'm selling plex's 1.25btc each.

lemmie know. i can deliver it tonight

hmm, seems like a good deal. i wont be able to take it up tonight though.

Just be careful because it's against EVE ToS to buy Plex out of game.

Hello all,

I would be interested in buying Ebooks and stuff for programming using third party libraries and such. I am finding it difficult to get into other people's code as the amount of actual programming experience I have (outside of theory) is low.

I would be interested in the core concepts on how to program with libraries such as OpenSSL, ZeroMQ, RabbitMQ, Server side development (how to write server side handlers to process requests and such), Postgresql, Reddis, CouchDB, Nginx, Mongrel2, and other such libraries (and learn how to write wrappers and APIs).

The languages I am currently interested in are C/C++/C#, Python, Perl, and Erlang (I'm open for suggestions).

Other general advice would be appreciated and I'll toss BTC 0.02 for good comments.

Post an offer or send a message,

Sup,

I am Romoku and request to post in the trading section. I find there is nothing to talk about in the Newbie section and I have been following http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin for awhile now (it got me into mining). I have nothing really tangible to show, but I do find the topics here quite interesting (lots of stuff gets linked to reddit).

I might be able to find a better reason later although I cannot talk while silenced, but this is a gated community.

Cheerio,


-Romoku

Edit by Maged:
There are two things I'd like to see before proceeding with this request:

1) Could you link to some things you have said about Bitcoin on Reddit?
2) Could you be more specific about what you want to post?
