Guys any eta on the new code base? It has been quite some time since we had an eta? I am afraid BEE will get left behind.
Your guess is as good as mine, what do you think of it so far?
https://github.com/gjhiggins/been/commits/beeBee's been getting around 50% of my available effort overall, 80% recently. Available effort is frequently compromised by local constraints.
I will urge people not to underestimate the effort demanded by this kind of activity:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=721936.msg27568755#msg27568755Start-of-year forward: I am looking at forking PIVX and studying other projects that have successfully and unsuccessfully done so. Of course, a gigantic effort will be needed. The PIVX codebase is very mature and will offer Sterlingcoin users all the features of a state-of-the-art cryptocurrency they may expect in 2018. PoS reward and supply will not change, so long as the community agrees. No ETA or more specifuc details can be given at this time. Many details have to be sorted and much work before more than that can even be said. Of course, this will make for a very exciting 2018 for Sterlingcoin holders. Some work and experimenting has started, but only at a research level. Familiarizing with the code and even some of the functions. I hope to be devoting full-time hours on the task in the very near future. I will report on that.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=721936.msg28795933#msg28795933To be clear, it is not a PIVX "partnership" per se. The PIVX code is open sourced. We are aiming to fork it, modify it to our needs, and then release it under the Sterlingcoin name. It is normal in open sourced software and very normal in cryptocurrency. Of course credit will remain to the many PIVX developers and done with respect to them all. We have been having some of those discussions in our Discord and all are welcome. It is a very pain-staking process. It will require much time and an ETA cannot be given at this time. I apologize, but there are still too many unknowns to do so with any certainty.
I can now generate blocks, so am setting up a small network to check whether staking works.
Cheers
Graham
Thanks for this update graham that is great news that you are still working away on it.
Many do not realise including myself really how much work it is to revamp a coin especially to an up2date codebase.
I think discussion on thread is the best way forward because sending me Pm;s about technical aspects is fruitless since I am not a coder at any level.
I will 100% help beecoin with what i can do which is get people interested in good projects and also try to ensure things are done as fairly as possible along the way.
But technical matters are not something I can make answers on at all.
BTW Graham did you get my PM regarding setting up a foundation BTC address to accumulate BTC for exchange listings and other things where they only accept BTC or fiat like a server and such?
I am quite happy for you to hold the btc community chest. We could start auctioning off bees now to raise some funds for these things. Then the raised BTC you can allocate to what things you think are best after the code base is released.
During this downturn may be the best time to secure some exchange listings even if we dont list it up until the new codebase is ready and tested.
I want to assure everyone I certainly have not abandoned beecoin and i am not ignoring anyone. I am ready to start pitching in as soon as there is something I can actually do. I would like to see many tasks for everyone that they can complete to enhance bee and also get rewarded for their time and effort. That would be the best way forward as far as I am concerned.
