This bounty is for someone to setup and maintain an open source faucet application for BTS chains.  This faucet will differ slightly from most bitcoin faucets in that it will require the user to provide:

1) Their Account Public Key
2) A globally unique account name to be registered on their behalf
3) A valid email address that is verified and for which there is a valid gravatar (https://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/hash/) account + image.

It should validate their account by sending them an email.

After they have validated their account, it should register a new account in the blockchain under the provided username and include the gravatar md5 hash as a public property of their account.

This will mean that everyone who wants to get started can use BTS with the following steps:

1) Download Client
2) Create local account and copy public key
3) Fill out form at Faucet
4) Check Email and click link.
5) 30 seconds later they have a registered account with initial balance.

Now all clients have the ability to display information from the gravatar profile along with the account which makes the directory more usable.  The faucet should be branded and professional looking.

[Introduction Talkcoin]

Introduction Talkcoin

简介
Most people who learned about Bitcoin look at it as nothing more than a currency, but the reality is that it's much more than that. At its core, Bitcoin is a new technology that allows everyone around the world to come to a consensus on who owns what without the use of a centralized third party. There are many different applications that can be built on top of this technology, and Bitcoin is only the first of many apps to come. Talkcoin uses the real innovation behind this protocol to create a new generation of cryptocurrency. Talkcoin is a new experience that will bring something new to the crypto world and beyond it.

很多人仅仅将Bitcoin当作是货币来看待,但是事实上Bitcoin的内涵远超货币的本意.究其核心概念来说,Bitcoin所蕴含的新技术使得世界上每一个拥有自己财产的人不再受控于第三方的机构.将有许许多多的应用将围绕比特币的协议建立起来,比特币只是众多应用中最新来临的那一个.Talkcoin运用的这个协议背后最核心的东西去创造此币,Talkcoin是一个密码学货币世界中一个全新的实验并试图去超越前人的成就.




Decentralizing the Internet


P2P chat.
点对点的聊天系统

Talkcoin starts a new generation of cryptocurrency as the first decentralized chat and voting system. Talkcoin is completely decentralized and the first to offer a true decentralized chat program that won't rely on a central server to deliver messages from the sender to their recipients andt lets you communicate freely with anyone in the world without censorship.
Talkcoin将打造新一代的去中心化聊天系统和投票系统,Talkcoin将是完完全全去中心化和第一个提供真正去中心化聊天程式以便你自由地和世界上每一个人聊天而不受监控管制.
Distributed Technology.
The most fundamental difference compared to many existing chat programs is that Talkcoin Chat won't rely on a central server to deliver messages from the sender to their recipients. The messages are stored in the blockchain. Due to more frequent block generation (20 sec), the network is capable of handling more transactions volume. As a result, there is no need to wait too long to send/read messages on the chat and the transactions will be fully confirmed usually within 1 minute.

与传统的聊天程式相比,talkcoin内置的系统不依靠中心化的服务器去传递信息.这些信息都被写在了块链中,依靠20秒的快速区块创建时间,整个网络可以对转账流量控制自如.因此,整个聊天过程将会非常畅快,通常在1分钟内你的聊天就将能被确认.






Democratic and secure voting system made for everyone

In Talkcoin,  the money supply is continuously decided by a true democratic and secure voting system, everybody can vote, that is not limited to miners. Each user will have to send coins to vote, so nobody can vote millions of times and get the block reward to whatever direction he wants. Voting takes place twice per week.
在talkcoin中,货币的供给将被真正的民主与安全的投票系统支持.每个人都可以投票,对于矿工而言没有限制,每个人都必须投票,因此没人可以投几百万次而去得到区块奖励.投票将两个星期安排一次.


Namely, users can vote the amount of coins to be given to developers in each block that they found. This policy allows better communication between community and project development team. If you want to give 1%, 2% or 3% you choose! The default value is 1%. Note: you also can reduce donation to zero!

也即是说,用户可以将票投给开发者基于它在每个快中得到的数量.这个政策有利于沟通,想给1%或2%或3%由你自己决定,默认1%.当然你也可以不捐.




Secure Hash Algorithms NIST SHA-3 candidate algorithms

- Implementation based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publication.
(cf. http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2012/NIST.IR.7896.pdf)

The NIST hash function competition was an open competition held by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop a new hash function called SHA-3 to complement the older SHA-1 and SHA-2. NIST selected five SHA-3 candidate algorithms to advance to the third (and final) round: BLAKE - Grøstl (Knudsen et al.) - JH - Keccak (Keccak team, Daemen et al.) - Skein (Schneier et al.)

将会基于SHA-3算法,BLAKE - Grøstl (Knudsen et al.) - JH - Keccak (Keccak team, Daemen et al.) - Skein (Schneier et al.)

NIST noted some factors that figured into its selection as it announced the finalists:
•   Performance
•   Security
•   Analysis: "NIST eliminated several algorithms because of the extent of their second-round tweaks or because of a relative lack of reported cryptanalysis – either tended to create the suspicion that the design might not yet be fully tested and mature."
•   Diversity: The finalists included hashes based on different modes of operation, including the HAIFA and sponge function constructions, and with different internal structures, including ones based on AES, bitslicing, and alternating XOR with addition.

NyanCoin彩虹猫币——首个官方授权的电子加密货币

  说起NyanCat（中文译名：彩虹猫，下同），中国的朋友可能会很陌生，因为我朝GFW的缘故，国人没办法轻易地从Youtube中看到各种精彩的视频.
  彩虹猫,作为2011年Youtube年度点击率最高的视频之一（据路边社不完全统计,全球观看过这只拖着长长彩虹尾巴的彩虹猫并被成功洗脑的人群（）达到几亿人次），深受世界各国宅男萝莉老中青少幼们的热切喜爱。在FaceBook与Twitter上，彩虹猫的专页点赞人数与粉丝人数都到达了百万人次，人气超群，街知巷闻，男女老少都爱此等神级萌物，有着不亚于DogeCoin狗狗币柴犬土豪笑话的效应！可惜，此等在国外如此火爆的萌物在天朝知道的人却寥寥无几，信息的不对称让我们感到深深的无奈.

 但是，作为互联网加密货币革命的先行者，作为世界上矿工群体最广大的一群人，作为中国最具眼光与魄力的矿工与电子货币爱好者们，咱们没理由错过并忽视这个认识彩虹猫这个小萌物的机会，因为Nyancoin出现了，我们可以挖掘，我们可以交易，我们可以这其中去认识发掘彩虹猫的可爱之处，Crypto-Currency，让GFW滚粗，让世界变得更加和谐。
  看着优质的DogeCoin狗狗币一跃而起并在短短时间内做到上亿的市值并大有超越LTC等老牌山寨币之势，我们就知道，作为与狗狗币有着同等血脉与群众基础的彩虹猫币，将会是下一个蓝海与未来。





 
下面简单介绍一下彩虹猫币的参数、特色与现状。
  NyanCoin（中文译名：彩虹猫币，下同），是一款发布于2014年1月6日的基于Scrypt算法的加密货币，其每个区块奖励337个币，337K个区块后减半。对比狗狗币1000亿的总量，彩虹猫币的总量只有区区的3.37亿。彩虹猫币的钱包制作精美，所有的图标的重新进行过设计，非常萌非常可爱，如果矿工们将挖到的彩虹猫币送给妹子的话，那简直是一份最有心意的礼物了，妹子所不定会对你一见倾心哦。
 
  说回正经的，彩虹猫币最重要的特色之一，莫过于彩虹猫币有着强大的后援支持!
NyanCat彩虹猫的作者Christopher Torres以及他的团队都参与到了彩虹猫币的开发中来，现在彩虹猫的官方网站（Nyan.cat)上能看到清晰的彩虹猫币官网的导引，据开发者透露，后续将开发多款游戏与服务， 整合彩虹猫币进入NyanCat的各个领域中，要知道，NyanCat在全球可有着数量巨大的粉丝群体，每年卖出去的纪念品、玩具、游戏软件等数不胜数，因此彩虹猫币必定有着可观的升值潜力。
  作为互联网加密货币界中首个被原创流行卡通角色官方授权的加密货币，其象征意义重大，这开创了娱乐业界与加密货币界的首次正式合作，这种正式合作的关系，为许多未知的版权障碍扫清了道路（关注电子货币的矿工们可能会知道，前阵子异常火爆的Coinye West就是没有因为与美国著名的饶舌歌手Kenya West处好关系而惹上了不少麻烦），而彩虹猫币显然不存在这个后顾之忧。
  现如今，彩虹猫币的全网算力在没有大规模国人参与的情况下达到了接近1G的情况，虽然还没较为大型的交易所上线彩虹猫币，但在一个比较小且新的交易所中（https://freshmarket.co.in/index.php?page=trade&market=107)， 彩虹猫币的交易量已经成为其中的龙头老大，价格上，其达到了0.0012ltc一个，按照ltc130元的汇价计算，大概0.15元人民币左右，囿于交易所的缘故，并没有放量，且从总量上看（1000E：3.37E），其远远与狗狗币的价格没匹配，因此升值潜力空间巨大，在国人大规模的认识下，这简直是一个优质的低价黄金。
  另外，在彩虹猫币的Reddit社区中，订阅人数持续增长，短短几天 就达到了300人次，社区上讨论热烈，各路英雄为彩虹猫币的未来出谋划策。而且，很多原先狗狗币社区的热心小伙伴们都参与到彩虹猫币社区的发展建设中，为彩虹猫币的发展添砖加瓦。值得一提的是，彩虹猫币社区的tipbot（小费机器人）已经开发完成，速度之快，令人咂舌，成为继狗狗币后，第二个拥有tipbot的社区，相信这种小费文化将会不断激励优秀的小伙伴们持续参与到彩虹猫币的发展中来。
快参与进来吧，时间不等人，机会不等人。下面附上各种链接方便大家了解彩虹猫。

曾經轟轟烈烈的Labcoin已經基本確定跑路了.
Sam（=Alberto）已經10天沒上線，快一個月沒分紅，所承諾的今月開放的深圳礦場也不見蹤影，說好的財政狀況公開也沒有，所有所有的承諾都是夢幻泡影。
前幾天還被社區的人發現疑似Alberto在ebay兜售11TH的算力（bitfury的設備)（似乎被人發現后他將自己的名字改了）.
相信中國社區也有很多很多的受害者，如果能通過法律的手段打擊Alberto，將他送進監獄，這對整個比特幣社區的騙子都是警示，對比特幣生態的建設都是大有裨益的，有個外國人團隊(LCSH)正在收集統計信息并準備向意大利警方報案處理（但實在不敢恭維意大利人的辦事效率）。anyway,如果大家有labcoin的股份，可以和他進行聯繫。

附上他們開設的主題貼的地址:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325431.0

這幾個月來，幣值上升了這麼多，大家的損失也相應大幅提高了很多，是時候讓這個騙子付出代價，討回我們的損失了。如果中國區的labcoin受害者靠近深圳或者香港的話，十分希望可以協助我們報案，另外得知國內成立了一個專門的QQ群（156446187）對此事進行研討，歡迎labcoin的bagholders們  加入此群一同商討如何是好..

愿騙子一生坎坷，好人一生平安。
