I was wondering if there would be any interest in adding Terracoin either as another searchable currency on PPCexplore.org engine or as a new site?
The PPC GUI with block explorer is still in the works, as of now it is in a prototype stage.
The beta and final release will be (almost for certain) written in Python and QT. The prototype is written in .net, only because it allows me to put more concentration on the logic development itself rather then the syntax and structure of a newer language to myself. (I can write in .net while sleeping. Python is not exactly "old hat" to me, though I am thoroughly enjoying exploring it deeper).
I chose Python because of its great ability for cross platform and some really nice BTC tools have been written in Python that I can borrow into my code.
As a side note: I was going through a box the other day, when I came across some old programming assignments from my college days. I must have drove my professors mad
Some of the code is quite "unconventional", but sure got the work done. I loved reading some of the comments in the margins.
I STILL NEED SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT THE USERS WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN TERMS OF FEATURES.
I will be including the ability for the client to directly handle a PPC link in a web page the same way way Bitcoin does now by bringing up a transaction window already filled with Send to address and amount.
I may include some custom code for the "Satoshi Roulette" site to make it more convenient and fun.
Now for a bit of seriousness:
I do not mind volunteering my time and effort to help with the support of PPC.
However, the VPS I use to host PPCEXPLORE.ORG does have a real cost attached to it.
I have thought about advertising, but honestly did not really like what I saw in terms of the types of advertising that would be pertinent to the people using the site.
I do not want the site to turn into a pop-up, advertising box hell. Some of the things advertised looked downright shady to me.
To date I have not received any donations that I know of. (If you have, please let me know if I missed it)
I am only asking for help with the cost of hosting. Although not incredibly expensive (Yet, as the coin grows, so will the need for a bigger VPS ! ), I have put some serious amount of hours in developing and running the site and sometimes feel double hit when to bill comes for the VPS. (Again, this is not about me getting paid for time and effort. I am more than happy to donate that.)
Anyway, Please post with suggestions on features with a new client. I really want to make this client something special.
