Re: [BPM] Bitcoin Project of the Month 2012-11: Nominations

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Are the rules too strict? Projects need to be public, nonprofit and open for everyone to join.

blockviewer for example is a nice project, too. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=103609.0

Other projects that come to mind:

http://code.google.com/p/bitcoinspinner/
http://code.google.com/p/bccapi/
http://code.google.com/p/bitcoin-wallet/
armory
electrum
multibit

bitcoin100

I applaud the efforts laid out on this thread, but please don't waste your vote on Bitcoin100 for this particular endeavor because we don't deserve a single vote at this time.

I was just brainstorming and nobody nominated it. Maybe next time...
edit: the website looks very professional!

Will try to produce a banner tomorrow.

I'm beginning to feel sorry for that poor chap who develops cbitcoin at only 10% in last place.

To me it is not quite clear what the advantage is of it being in c99. Embedded systems?

Possibly on embedded systems if you can get dynamic allocation to work and implement some of the standard library.

C is one of the most popular languages out there and I like coding with C which is why I'm using it.

I like it, too, but I like Python even better    

[MatthewLM]

Python is reeeeaaaaallllly sloooooooow on OSX for some reason. It's not so bad on Linux or Windows as I've experienced. Maybe it's just my Mac.

Very nice man. Casted my vote.

[phelix]

voting will stop in 3h 45min


For doing this regularly I would like the voting period to start on the 1st of the month. Should we do two quick ones to catch up? Or would be enough to skip October and start the next vote on the 1st of November (for BPM November 2012).

Very nice man. Casted my vote.

thanks. I just stole Bitboy's original button design, though  

[MatthewLM]

I think my project is a bit too early to prove itself yet. When I get my full block-chain downloader/validator working I think it will create much more interest.

Still got my vote, a good library in staid of rpc calls to client would make development of third party tools a lot easier and adds more flexibility.

Bitcoin Project of the Month 2012-09 is:

Open Transactions

Congratulations!

I reserved some space on my website to advertise it.

[laSeek]

Really nice initiative & grats Open Transactions!

Regarding the criteria for selection of projects - like bitcoin projects should be without borders & international.
While bitinstants card is a really great initiative and, being backed by mastercard means the card will be accepted globally, regulations can be pretty tight around issuing cards to non-residents.

[fellowtraveler]

I just wanted to thank you guys for recognizing the project.

I strongly encourage everyone to download it and just play around with it.

Get it up and running with the test data, and play with the GUI as well as the new command line tool.

Notice the command line tool is written in the OT script language (maybe play around with writing your own scripts...)

There's plenty of in-depth technical instructions here:  http://open-transactions-tv.github.com/
As well as on the Wiki: https://github.com/FellowTraveler/Open-Transactions/wiki

Contrary to da2ce7, you shouldn't notice any stability issues. But the best way to get any issues worked out is for people to start using it!

Also we only have a single test server operating, so if anyone else wants to put one up, that would be useful to the project.

[da2ce7]

yay we won!

Thanks for the vote.

Well done to OpenTransactions which might not specifically be a bitcoin project but compliments bitcoin nicely.

[unclescrooge]

I really like the idea behing OpenTransaction. Congrats guys, you earned it.

Now maybe I will finally install and try to use it

Open Transactions

Will let you know about the next BPM here. Voting is scheduled to start 2012-11-01 with nominations starting two weeks earlier.
