[BOUNTY] 185+ BTC - Open Transactions Client (for Grandmas)

[becoin]

Voucher safe doesn't seem very safe, it warns that browsers plugin are needed

I'm not too familiar with voucher safe, but this probably means that users have to download spark browser plugin http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/spark/ to allow XMPP communication between the client and issuer / publisher server.

@Rugatu & all potential donors to this bounty, I don't like to practices of rugatu.com
while the OP in this server promotes donation address 1JbgqTVjfrapGQCCup3eZBD69zshoSouKU
 user id 58626 (screen name Rugatu) changed it in 'his' site to something else while keeping 95+ % of the OP unchanged - invoking the impression of being collecting funds towards the same goal.
the changed address is also properly labelled in his post but it's imo not best practice and while I understand the 'need' to track sources of pledges, it seems to be done without the consent of OP author.

* Binford 6100 is just suspicious

We're sorry if you got that impression, the funds are really collected for the same purpose on both addresses, but as you already seen, Rugatu promotes it's own escrow wallet of the bounty so the creator of this software can be sure he will get his reward.

I don't know for how much time you've been a member of the Bitcoin community but you probably already know that most bounties never get paid at all, so Rugatu was created exactly with this in mind and ease the whole IP work and contract honoring process, between pseudo-anonymous participants. Received funds are shown publicly, and they can be seen in the bitcoin blockchain at the same time.

At this moment Rugatu is one of a kind escrow service for intelectual work, and is only made possible by the bitcoin's unique properties.

I don't want to create an account to comment:

Would this be under GPL/AGPL or some other license? (Maybe the pledgees would like to own it?)

The OP only specifies "open source", so any free license (or public domain) should be acceptable. The author would retain copyright, and my tiny pledge has no problems with them selling additional commercial licenses too.

(Emphasis mine)

OP is about open source.

So to claim this bounty we need you to provide an easy to use, open source, cross-platform client.

Guess he didn't read the OP thoroughly, I will comment that for you. Btw you can login with your google, fb or twitter account, there's no need to create a new one.

@Rugatu
da2ce7 paid his bounties and is around 20+ months longer than you (where I stand I see him around longer than you)
he is as well long term O-T project member.
your service is not related to any of them but is attempting to collect bounty for the project.
we will see.

Are you purposely trolling this thread? What da2ce7 has to do with obsi's request (OP) apart from pledging "some coins"? Btw, I can't find the post where he pledged, only some of them where he states working on something.

[brunozisterer]

I'm also going to support this project with 10 Bitcoins.

[alexanderanon]

This looks like a needed project. I'd be willing to put in some bitcoins at some point in the not so distant future.

[Unthinkingbit]

Devcoin pledges 8 generation shares for the Grandma Open Transaction Client. The value of the generation shares vary, at the time of this writing they are worth about 7.2 bitcoins each:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=earn_devcoins_by_writing#generation_share

so 8 shares is about 58 bitcoins. If the devcoin market capitalization rises, the number of generation shares pledged might rise, but it will never be more than 1% of the capitalization:

Is anyone working on this at the moment? Is the bounty still open?

Yes sir, bounty still open on Rugatu

[marcus_of_augustus]

Any progress?

[Neosoft]

Is there any proof that this bounty is still open?

Both donation addresses are empty and OP wasn't online since October 2012.

[jasinlee]

Someone donated money rather than pledged it? Wow, no wonder he disappeared.

[Neosoft]

I'm just asking because..

Yes sir, bounty still open on Rugatu

http://www.rugatu.com/questions/3691/open-transactions-client-for-grandmas

How can you know if Obsi is still willing to pledge 100 BTC at todays exchange rate?
Or was this just some Rugatu promotion?

[stretchwynand]

I'll throw down a fair bit of BTC (hundreds of dollars worth) for this. I had started working on a web interface months ago, but I'm not even a remotely good programmer. I just think OT has huge potential!

[BitAddict]

If someone develop something like this he doesn't really need bounty. Because BTC price is going to go really high, and nothing is better than that
