I'd like to run an XNODE on a server of mine (for the community/infrastructure) but apparently I need 550xc to do so? seems a little chicken and egg to me. XFjFkg7qmPAGWKKN8MMZfuoqbR1srTLtKy

Agreed on all counts. Paying/contribution is obviously a good (read: easy) way to fund an organisation, but I believe that funds should be distributed as deemed fit by the members (who needn't be paying members).

As a counter point I can see how payment (of some sort) helps to indicate a members willingness/commitment to said organisation. but I'm sure there are better ways to achieve this.

@Lethn your (kind of) response is exactly why we're trying to get it sorted, we've not gone Public with a capital P yet because we're still trying to sort out the agenda and structure, but if you're interested and/or know others who are please send them our way or get in touch!!

So far its a collaboration between a few UK meetups etc (not all... yet) but we are by no means trying to be the ones 'in-charge' so much as be a banner for those that are interested to flock to, and welcome/invite any and all competing/existing organisations to work with us to come to a consensus as to what we All want from it.

First off: I quite like that name it has a nice ring to it.

I've been thinking about this for a while, ( since before the Foundation, started crumbling ) just because I feel that while its good to have  a single banner for core devs we also need local (ie country specific) Bitcoin/blockchain advocacy groups.

So I started working on: https://github.com/christopherdebeer/btca-template

It started as a fork/clone of the foundation's manifesto and is slowly evolving with the input of a few bitcoiners in the UK specifically for https://github.com/bitcoinallianceuk/btca-template the Bitcoin Alliance UK which we're trying to organise and get mindshare for. The problem is that everyone has their own ideas about what such a group should do if any UK based bitcointalk members read this I'd very much appreciate you getting in touch info@bitcoinalliance.co.uk , even if it is to say that we're doing it all wrong (seriously!)

I know i've kind of gone on a tangent about a UK group, but if you checkout the repo I think the model of operation could still stand, which is why I feel its a template that can be contributed to and used by groups all over the world int he same way.

Also its so crap trying to organise such a group when name are flying around, All we want to do if bring the blockchain the the rest of the word, but whatever name one is trying to rally under can become faddish or frowned apon within a matter of days. We have gone with alliance as we plan to be a losely coupled group of other more local groups in the UK.

Cool, positioning bugs fixed and updated in firefox addon store:

v0.4 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/coin-address-inspector/

notes:
1. No longer shows info on hover (you need to click on addresses) this is a performance improvement as it would render pages with lots of addresses unresponsive as it tried to get info for all addresses on the page, this way it only fetches data for the addresses you want, ie: click on.

2. Click on the popup to dismiss it

3. Added screenshot to website: http://0circle.co.uk/cai

An invite please, kind sirs.

First pass at the firefox version: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/coin-address-inspector/

Also changed to popup to be more inline with your requests/suggestions


chris

Nope, it only adds some extra content to where the address is, and wraps the address itself in a span, so should 'never' break a page.

Firefox request is fair enough, but as for having the hover be more obvious, I've tried to make its impact the host pages as little as possible, so keeping it inline, and plain text means it wont break in weird ways and break sites it gets used on. So its a trade-off of being flashy or work everywhere.

todo: firefox version.

chris

Interestingly its working on addresses on blockchain.info itself as well, which is handy

I've created this chrome extension so far: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/coin-address-inspector/dmpancddmjhlfjkbidfaphioiikichbd Some feedback would be greatly appreciated.
