Interested to hear community's feedback. thx

Mike Hearn has something similar but not using a DHT (yet): https://github.com/mikehearn/PayFile

video is pretty cool. people see it for rewarding content creators but I much more different possibilities in this stuff.

Haaaaa! Aaaand another project doing the same:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=348868.0

Also in other news: http://torrentfreak.com/most-important-torrent-site-in-years-to-take-the-internet-by-storm-131219/

Also ThePirateBay is working on this too:

the existing dht is a distributed hash table for lookups of hash data.

first steps:

https://groups.google.com/a/bittorrent.com/forum/#!topic/bt-developers/f8HL_Nu9P7g

I know that several groups of people are working on this.

* FrostWire BitTorrent developers.
* ThePirateBay
* zooko of Tahoe-LAFS
* A friend of mine from IRC
* Bitstorage by Sarchar
* twister by xine dev

The basic idea is to embed searchable hashes in the blockchain that can't be censored. Then use these to fetch that actual data from a DHT network. This takes *a lot* of pressure off the blockchain from people who want to throw lots of data at it, and allows you to potentially use this scheme to allow gigabytes of data to be retrieved. It's basically proof of sacrifice.

I think this has many many very useful future applications. If we have our privacy aware wallets, identity, p2p communication (BitMessage or even XMPP) and distributed reputation, then together with the tools for managing multisig (distributed escrow), we can use this innovation so sellers can maintain their own page of goods that can be updated.

Think something like Tor or Freenet but fast to load and encrypted. All these tools together enable a decentralised Silk Road. If the seller on the remote end is a robot, then you could communicate with the robots over p2p encrypted protocols to send messages and update the page (like a forum or Wiki). There's very many possibilities from this tech. I especially like using the blockchain as an authority for human usable names for identities and cipherweb locations.

btw maybe you should pay to people when you retrieve the file. therefore depending on how fast you want the file, you put up an auction and gather the bids, then a special transaction is created for atomically exchanging the file for your credit (as agreed by the bid).

yes, i love it. I'm a big fan of 4chins

much dig. wow

plz dig some doge for darkwallet

many grateful

I'm going to add runtime support of testnet in the future.

doge for darkwallet so thx

plz donate some doge to darkwallet project

DNcR7VKAjZP3VYkGFMTvBprcw6E3pBNGT1

thx

sx now auto creates a config for your user if one doesn't exist.

https://github.com/spesmilo/sx/commit/71eebef3d702507643058863206a79a047623c7a

next goal is support for BIP32 deterministic wallets.

doge future no more poors wow so incredible. i amaze potential. ty doge for help world

so power

libbitcoin
libbitcoin is a community of developers building the open source library, tools and implementation necesary for a free, independent and vibrant Bitcoin. In this way we are helping to build a better future. Values: privacy, scalability, integrity. See more info in our docs.

Obelisk: scalable blockchain query infrastructure
Obelisk is a scalable blockchain query infrastructure. See the setup guide. There is a public server available at obelisk.unsystem.net:8081 but I wouldn't use it for anything production (besides testing). Uses libbitcoin for asynchronous full node Bitcoin implementations on the backend that connect to a load balancer. The load balancer distributes blockchain requests among the workers on the backend.

sx command line utilities - Empower The Sysadmin With Bitcoin Tools
My aim with this project is to provide a set of modular Bitcoin commandline utilities, that admin types can engage with Bitcoin functionality without having to write code. By chaining all these commands together in different ways, you can do offline transactions, maintain a wallet, work with deterministic keys, ...

It would be cool to see Bitcoin wallets written in bash script using these tools to handle the core functionality. I believe the more we give good tools to the community, the more we can decentralise development and increase access to the core technology for all types.

python-obelisk
This is a collaboration between Pablo Martin's ZMQ/Obelisk implementation, and Robert Williamson's blockalchemy library with code from ThomasV's Electrum. python-obelisk is a pure Python client-side implementation of the Obelisk protocol. A pure Python library is great because it can be deployed easily without requiring dependencies. This allows code to be ported across many platforms such as the mobile phone with Kivy, desktops or any platform running Python.

sx wallet: ncurses terminal wallet


dat.wallet: pure Python tutorial wallet for Linux, Android, Mac, Windows
Me and Taylor Gerring (Hive wallet) coded this example wallet in 2 days in pure Python. It uses python-obelisk and is meant to be be an example for other coders to understand how wallets work. We'll work slowly on more tutorials and docs. It uses kivy and has no dependencies, so can be used on the mobile phone.

This is great for wallet developers and GUI designers who want to create their own skin or special wallet with specific features. For example: wallets for traders, branded wallets for businesses and specific payment applications that use wallet functionality.



DarkWallet browser plugin
The beginnings of the DarkWallet project. We are focusing mainly on the underlying technology and how to create usable crypto products for the entrepreneurs of the future. This means a strong multi-discipline synthesis between designers, users and coders. See more of our vision on the unSYSTEM wiki.

Hi!

Me and Taylor Gerring (Hive wallet) coded this example wallet in 2 days in pure Python. It uses python-obelisk and is meant to be be an example for other coders to understand how wallets work. We'll work slowly on more tutorials and docs.

This is great for wallet developers and GUI designers who want to create their own skin or special wallet with specific features. For example: wallets for traders, branded wallets for businesses and specific payment applications that use wallet functionality.

The code is not great, but it is merely instructive for people to understand how to use the underlying Bitcoin library and functionality.
