Here we go, for those who would like to localize the code for their particular language I've commited an example at https://github.com/davout/bitcoin-central/commit/e135135f3f7a1062104b7e59ae36701a94559123

In this example I've localized a template into french, so you can see that it basically involved removing strings from the template and putting them into a translations dictionary.

I've also added some locale switching code, so if you want to change locale at run-time, instead of modifying the core config file you can just pass a ?locale=pl GET parameter in the request and your session will start using the locale you passed.

If you want to translate large chunks of text dictionaries are cumbersome, see http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html#localized-views to see how Rails elegantly manages this one too.

As a final word, would you want to start translating into a language that doesn't yet have a locale file in config/locales you'll want to get the base translations from here https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n and add them into config/locales before starting the actual extraction/translation work.

Have fun and request pulls (on the integration branch)

And the free bitcoins your PC grinds for aren't really "free" either. I just think there's a mentality that a lot of people have when hearing about it: "I like the idea, I want some, but I'm not paying for them!" It's why people grind in the farming pools for millibitcoins, and it's a good thing for the bitcoin community as it spreads the wealth, making trade more viable. 

I call it free because it has zero monetary cost, just as that "free" sandwich from the deli that's doing a promotion requires physical transport to get to 

Anyway this is precisely what I should have made more clear in my post, so thanks for pointing it out. I just would be very interested to know if people would use such a service 

don't worry, this thread (and the other one about bitcoin-central) are watched.
maybe ppl have nothing to say/contribute to discussion?

Yay, I see it in gray in my account

Ok, so if you want to localize the code, Rails makes it pretty easy, also it would really be an incredibly useful thing to do to pull out hardcoded strings and put them in localized files.

The locale files reside in :
config/locales/*.yml

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html this is a must read if you want to start localizing it properly

I suggest, that if you want to see a quick result you fork the projet, create a polish locale and start easy by translating the model attributes names

Davout just open sourced his code for bitcoin central. I think it qualifies for this bounty or if it doesnt why not?

I believe this election was rigged.

However, even if you add up both of the circled-characters, they still didn't beat the ฿



To me, the fact that the ฿ is already an existing unicode character, adds about 20 brownie points to that choice.

What are you implying?

Says the guy generating ~block per day!

And you pledged 250 BTC

But, I'd need your e-mail address in order to do so

Hooo, me and my brother were trying to get outselves to sell some of our collection of the 1990's games for years now.

If you're interested I could e-mail you the list with details.

I see that I can add YIM, AIM, MSN (none of which I use anymore) to my profile, but there is no option for XMPP (commonly known as Jabber).

Since this is the only popular FOSS IM protocol and the only decentralised one as well, it'd be nice to have it as an option.

Arch Linux Rolling release.

If you had never used any linux distro before go Ubuntu then.
