Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

I'll push a few improvements over the weekend and I also want to start with experimental payouts soon. When it's ready, I'm going to announce it here.

Ugghhh!!

I got as far as this page:

Quick start

Download it, run it to extract it somewhere (permanent). Then cd to it, run “ruby dk.rb init” and “ruby dk.rb install” to bind it to ruby installations in your path.

Questions

Questions from the end user: I downloaded DevKit as exe file, unpacked it. Should I place it to some permanent location and then run installation scripts or I can simply run installation script and then delete the unpacked DevKit folder (in a second case I assume that this script injects DevKit into Ruby installation in some way)? – the answer to this question should be placed in first lines of installation guide as it is very important.

Answer: The file should be in its permanent location before running “ruby dk.rb init”.


where is the permanent location?  ...so I chose one.  Then how does one run “ruby dk.rb init” and “ruby dk.rb install” I can't find anything in the directory which could be run that looks like this stuff.  How do I run "ruby dk.rb init"?

So now the whole damn thing is unusable because Ruby set up instructions are so vague.

Very Nice!  I can confirm purchase offer shows up correctly - I hope whoever 1EdAjiAp... belongs to doesn't mind that I bought a small amount of the test coins from your sell offer as a test.

Also, yes, the simple send no longer adds the multiple entries to the dashboard view - this is great.

I have a couple nitpicky things I noticed

- In the dashboard view, my address gets cut off under where it says "Mastercoin wallet for".   I guess the font needs to be smaller or the window larger.

- If I sort my sent/receive transactions by date, it appears to just sort based on the calendar day so you may not see the most recent/oldest transaction listed first like you might expect.  For example, 28-10-13 will be listed ahead of 08-11-13 as the most recent send.  Not clear if this is the case when looking at the order book as there are not any offers listed with an October date, however, I notice the date and time format is different on that view.

Great work!

Tachikoma, I don't consider this valid but mastercoin-explorer seems to (though it does seem to throw a bad destination address), is that a bug or do we have differing interpretations of Class A?  

Thanks!

The spec does provide for truncating an order to available units:


The question I don't see discussed yet; was Buyer A's purchase request confirmed in a block before Buyer B placed their purchase request?

I did a simple send to another address.  On the dashboard, the transaction shows up as 3 separate entries:  Sold, Bought, and Sent with the same amount I sent listed next to each one.

My balances reflect the correct amount but I was not expecting to see 3 separate entries listed like that for a simple send.  Does that make sense?

Thanks Tachikoma. Doing the patch now.
What do I run after?
I presume gem install mastercoin-wallet
 

Still error messages... Thanks for your help Tachikoma.

Playing around with the wallet a bit - submitted a purchase and a couple minutes later a sell.  Its been about 10 minutes or so and the sell offer is listed but I haven't yet seen the purchase go through.  Are updates still running around 15 min?

Also, it might be nice to be able to pull up TX hashes from the app rather than going to the log file - though assume you intend to add more detail like this in the future...perhaps getting the option when double clicking?

Couple more items that would be nice to have:

Address book or ability to easily capture/copy addresses

A way to view the expiration time for offers in the order book

Example scenario

Seller post 10 coins for sale
BuyerA post a purchase  request for 3 coins (but has not paid)
Available is 7

BuyerB  post a purchase for 10 coins but since available is only 7 he gets only 7.
BuyerB makes a payment.
Available is 0 (7 paid by buyerB and 3 still pending payment from buyerA)

After 1 day BuyerA didn't pay and time expired.
Available is 3.

Is this correct?

Throw away work?? That's definitely not what I want. I just want the average Joe-user on Windows to be able to use MasterCoin without a lot of headaches.

I'm surprised to hear you say it might not ever have a Windows installer. How certain are you about that? Even still, it could have a Linux installer, couldn't it? That would at least cover the linux side.

The acceptance criteria already specified that there needed to be a Windows client and a Linux client. All I added was a clarification that the Windows client should really have an installer. I don't really consider any client to be completely ready for the masses without a user-friendly installer. And that's the whole point of this project milestone - bringing distributed exchange to the masses.

The acceptance criteria also said that there would be a high bar for usability. Doesn't that goal seem incompatible with "Step 1: download my source code, required libraries, dev environment tools, and compile . . . "?

Hey guys,

Please be advised that I have added a clarifying note to our acceptance criteria. In order for the "high bar for usability" goal to be met, we really need a Windows installer on one of the clients.

That's now explicitly called out in the acceptance criteria, although I think it was already implicit in the usability goal.

Thanks!
