[jorgen]

[kiba]

Progress update?

[kiba]

No progress report?

[Bitquux]

Working out some bugs in using SSL. Very short on time lately.

[kiba]

Is the source code available anywhere? I would like to put it on github.

[kiba]

Bitcoinex and sandos, where are you?

[bitcoinex]

Bitcoinex and sandos, where are you?

I'm here. I sent 100 BTC to Bitquux's 17v4AR81oFJLAG8jHDKJKNKjSvY2QAmf1V

[kiba]

PMed Sandos.

[sandos]

Oh, I sent ~37 btc quite a while ago.

My wallet is empty at the moment after "difficulties" at getting liberty reserve.

[kiba]

Very well, 3 BTC is left.

[bitcoinex]

But when will be added automatically search for addresses on the page?

[kiba]

This is no good! We can't continue where bitquux left off.

[kiba]

This is no good! We can't continue where bitquux left off.

My PM to bitquux had been met with silence. His excuse for not releasing the source code is because it's not working in the last PM that he sent to me.

Frak this!   I don't give a damn about if it doesn't work or not. This is stuff that bitcoiners(at least those who are the pledgers) paid for.

Now we're stuck with a codebase that we can't pay someone else to improve or fix up.

* kiba is boiling mad.

I believe all Chrome Extensions are open source, if you know where to look   On my Mac, I see the Bitcoin extension source code in ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/hhbhfoohbnjkdcndbhjlicijccioklea/1.3_0

I assume someone could package that up and release it as their own.  Copyright legalities notwithstanding.

[kiba]

We're fucked if we can't legally package it as an open source project. People's money are wasted.  

* kiba is still mighty pissed off.

[mndrix]

I'm no lawyer, but if you paid the bills, I'm pretty sure the code is yours.

[kiba]

I'm no lawyer, but if you paid the bills, I'm pretty sure the code is yours.

We didn't sign any formal contract wtih Bitquux.

[bitcoinex]

I'm no lawyer, but if you paid the bills, I'm pretty sure the code is yours.

Well. I opened "my" part of the plugin code and give it in the public domain!

[kiba]

I don't have another room for a project, but I am going to pledge 20 BTC for a competitor to Mr. Don'tReleaseCode aka bitquux.

* kiba is still mad.

[Bitquux]

Good grief. I can't live and breathe this stuff like the rest of you can. So here's the code for the most recent release. I've got a Mt. Gox enabled version mostly done now and will post it once I finish and get rid of some useless, confusing (and commented out) stuff. As far as the code goes, the Mt. Gox stuff won't significantly affect anything you're seeing in this version of the source. The code is pretty basic and horribly uncommented, but the concept is there. It would be nice if someone would like to look at the address recognition stuff and come up with something more consistent. I'm thinking of using pure regex and not messing with the validation through the RPC so it will work better with Mt.Gox. If the address is invalid, it will fail during send. The code is public domain / free as in do whatever you want with it and do or don't give me credit. I appreciate and will include any good fixes and submissions, or you can spin off your own version because you're still pissed at me.
