I am exploring alternative POW algorithms that would make mining on ARM and low-power devices economical ( think mobile phones, raspberry-pi's, old laptops ).  I see most of the talk here is about ICO's and trading instead of new coin development.  Is there a place where I can bounce technical ideas off of people or find other developers who might be interested in collaborating? 

I need to upgrade to PRO but only need like 1 feature so I don't want to spend >$500 for the PRO license at retail.  If you are student you can get it for $49.  Transaction can be done through escrow.

I might be interested in the Android wallet side.  But it wholly depends on what you are paying.  Post it here or PM for my rate.

understandable.  I am still trying to figure out the revenue model and how open-source would fit into it.  Maybe charge for the source?  As in whatever revenue model i use ( app, iap, paid ) giving away the source negates any of them.

Thanks!  Currently "team" = just me.  Don't currently have any plans to make it open source.  Do you ask due to security considerations?

work on the app has been started, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606796.msg6696331#msg6696331

Planned features and current roadmap can be viewed here: https://trello.com/b/6cdP29Fi/bitcointalk-org-android-app

Please use this topic for feedback, it will be monitored by me.

Notification for watched threads would be cool.  But yeah, you run into a polling issue on mobile ( bandwidth, battery, data consideration ).  Maybe a server that does the polling and does push messaging to the app  on updates might work.  Don't know bitcointalk.org's policy on scraping or whether they would ban for one server/ip continuously pounding the server looking for updates.

Don't know when that would be ( does anyone really? ) but I make apps with TDD ( test-driven development ).  I will be using the current html as test cases for parsing.  If/when new forum software appears the job is straightforward ( although non-trivial ) to make the parsing engine handle the HTML ( replace the old HTML in the testcases with new HTML and make all the tests pass ). 

Connections will hit bitcointalk.org directly as running an intermediary server seems expensive and I can't really think of any benefits to that.

I am an Android developer with quite a few years under my belt.  I've been unimpressed with the current Bitcointalk.org Android app offering ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.elbandi.forum.bitcointalk ).  I want to make a slick, android-design-compliant app that doesn't suck.

Here's a proposed roadmap:

ALPHA:

• guest access ( no login )
  
• browse meta topics
• browse forum list
• browse forum topic ( will include a paging function so swiping left and right will get you to the next page of replies, next page is pre-loaded )
• reply formatting ( avatar, user stats, quote formatting, link highlighting, html )

BETA:

• view user profile
• search
• forum caching
• text resizing
• contextual menu for each reply ( user profile, user stats, user signature )

v1:

• fix all medium-severe bugs
• setting for hiding showing things ( avatar, signature, stats, reply timestamps )

v2:

• user login
• post reply
• quote reply
• my profile
• my recent posts

v2.5

• my messages
• send messages

v3

• tablet support
• topic list on left

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrewshu.android.reddit is my design and usability inspiration.  If you think you will use a stable, well designed app with the above features then please reply to this poll.  If you have some feedback beyond the above poll or have questions then ask below.  Thanks.

Edit: also, if there are features that are not on the list or functionality that you would like to see then let me know.

Edit 2: work on the app has started, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606796.msg6696331#msg6696331 for announcement and tracking

still not sure how to accomplish this, don't see anything in the api about it.

Thanks

You would host the app on your own cdn, certainly not as convenient but definitely do-able.  You can install off-app-market apps without too much trouble, it's just a checkbox on most phones.  That's how most apps that live in the they grey area ( porn, gambling, rooting ) operate.

It's good, just not out of this world great.  The UI is very App-ish, just thought an actual native app would be a cool experience ( Better handle network connectivity, intuitive screen fitting, faster loads, home screen widgets, notifications ).  Not needed but would be cool.

How are we supposed to view/edit the user's profile?  I don't see anywhere in http://hitbtc-com.github.io/hitbtc-api/ that has update privileges for a user's profile.  Are we doing HTTP Form POST's?  Do we need get the user's un/pw ( I would advise against it ).  How about getting the api/secret?  I don't see anything about oAuth, are user's copy/pasting creds in there? ( not a great UX ).

Thanks for any info, very interested in participating.

Receive email alerts when a business near you starts accepting bitcoins as payment.  It's a one time cost of about 1mBTC to signup.  Feedback very welcome.  Refunds are free, no questions asked.  Uses coinbase for checkout.

Have you thought about a mobile app?  Maybe for Android?  I think the Apple market place frowns on gambling apps.

How many "doctors" do you have answering questions?

How secure are we talking?  After the rash of hacks lately I am going to need a little more info.

mmmmm ponzi scheme, it's so delicious.
