Any update here?

It's about as lively here as the charts on YoBit: https://yobit.net/en/trade/PKB/BTC#7D  Not sure about the future here.

Give the dev a chance-- he is dealing with a family illness as he stated above.

I have messaged with him one-on-one about Parkbyte prior to his family issues and have gathered that Parkbyte represents a very well-situated niche for his unique skill sets and contacts in his local parking industry. So I'm sure that once he's back to work on everything, he will be back to work on this.

If you are unhappy holding your speculative position in this personal project while it's on hold, feel free to sell your PKB to me. I will set a buy on Bittrex for 50 sats and take whatever you have.

I am back working on ParkByte now, thanks for your patience and support.

I have forked the latest Bitcoin Electrum client to work with ParkByte and built windows executables.

Windows Executables: https://github.com/parkbyte/electrumparkbyte/releases


I have also forked Bitpay's insight API and Explorer, the API will be needed for the PKB backend so I thought I may aswell host an alternative explorer aswell.

I have also added some of my PKB addresses to the pool info file, this fills out the "Staked By" column. If you would like to be added to this list please PM me your staking addresses, URL and display names, alternatively please do a pull request on GitHub - https://github.com/parkbyte/parkbyteinsight-api/blob/master/etc/minersPoolStrings.json

Excellent. Best of luck, Rizla.

Just to show this project is still progressing and there is work going on in the background

The main infrastructure is now in place so I have now started working on the first version of the web based admin system for the PKB.

There is still alot to do on this part as it will display all the parking data in a variety of different ways and it will also control some parts of the APP such as parking tariff, app layout, parking zones and much much more.

It currently uses Auth0 for user authentication, JWT Secured API, AngularJS and NodeJS. Here are a couple of screenshots of the first version:

It maybe rather quiet for abit but I shall post some more updates shortly.

Great news! This post totally blew right past me.

Looks like this is getting some attention. With some volume it could go places very fast. Not much coin on offer it seems. Good luck, g

[Rizla2345]

This is promising. Available supply 4,709,988 PKB. Of that, Premine 922,178 PKB still locked up. It´s seriously undervalued.

[ParkByte]

Certainly is nice to see that there is some more interest in the project, but I've never really been worried about the price I believe that it was always going to be good which is why I have invested a fair bit time and money into it and will continue to put a lot of my time and money into it.

This could possibly be seen as a bad thing; 1 person controlling so much but I would say that I have 40-50% of the supply locked up until ParkByte is fully functioning. 922,178PKB Premine, 1,029,944PKB in (PQdJDTv9uUtRWtWvxcVh1wpDndjFe95UuB and PWhVi14jogiDFFxHY3UChv3FWf4gXppfCA) and probably another 400,000PKB scattered around nodes.

Once people start to notice PKB and interest grows I can see the price shooting up very quickly.

On another note I noticed we are now on 4% POS rewards, 5% ended at block 525600 on 1st March 2016, next reward reduction will be block 1051200, in 2017 reducing it down to 3% where it will stay until there is a hard fork which is very unlikely.

[Rizla2345]

Sounds good. It´s not easy to get any meaningful quantity here at these prices judging from the trading and books at Bittrex.

[ParkByte]

Over the past week I have rewritten all my previous work on the APP and API. I am aware it has been a long time without anything but words and pictures from me so I plan to provide the APK to a couple of long term PKB supporters to try out and see the concept in action.

I have posted a quick video of the APP as it stands today, it does need some bugs fixing, error checking and a nicer UI design but all the major functions work nicely.

https://youtu.be/W-wvgvRe5GM

The transactions sent in the video can be seen on the blockchain First TX and Second TX

I've hardcoded the amount on the video to 0.01PKB for testing purposes.

I've just noticed the expiry time is out by an hour, that is just because the API server time didn't change inline with British Summer Time (BST) unlike my phone.

There is more to come very shortly  

[Rizla2345]

Thanks for the update. We´re moving forward. Good luck, Rizla

ParkByte Android APP - V1.03Alpha

Published on Apr 11, 2016
v1.03a offers the following features:

Wallet Encryption - Secure your wallet with a password, unlocking the wallet at the point of signing the PKB transaction.

Timestamps are now stored on the ParkByte database using epoch time (unixtime). The APP now processes and displays Start/Expiry times to the Device's timezone, including and DST changes.

Timezone warning - Compares Device timezone and parking zone timezone, if it doesn't match it will warn the user that expiry time displayed won't be local time but device time.

Restores all parking ticket history when restoring wallet seed.

Parking zone's can have different layouts for displaying the tariff. Next versions will have different options such as specify expiry time/date and slider bar for minutes to buy for linear/non-linear tariffs (£0.05 for 1minute vs Fixed tariffs £3.00 for 1hour). This can also be used to display parking operator graphics etc.

Scan Parking zone QR now functions properly and some other minor fixes.

Thanks, I forgot to post it here

Android SDK has been updated to v23, Google Maps have now been added so users can see where they have parked and see parking zones nearby. I am also finalizing the GCM push notifications and extend ticket function so it will soon tell the user that the ticket is about to expire, extend the ticket.

This looks absolutely fantastic

[ParkByte]

This looks absolutely fantastic

Thanks, if i do say so myself its a pleasure to use compared to other services like RingGo, Parkmobile etc. 

The APP now displays the notifications at the exact times, 15minutes before ticket expires and the second it expires, just need to do some tweaking to compare the device time to the server time and that part will be complete.

It's great to see what you managed to deliver far, I'm amazed!
Can you inform us about your next steps, maybe some rough roadmap?
When do you think your product will be finished, and you can start to contact parking companies in order for them to start using this technology?

Regards
