Progress? We're waiting...

[SFR10]

Thank you.
I see there hasn't been a lot of activity there lately. Furthermore, Cryptios, a user account created specifically for the purpose (if I understood correctly) has not been active since the original post. I wonder if that project has been abandoned completely.

You're very welcome. From the same link that I've provided the other day, you can find three of its other members and directly ask them that question ^{[apart from the main account, all of them were online today]}:

• alanst
• 3dOOm
• Rizzrack

Where can I find the reported Coinbistro bugs? There have been no replies to the original thread.

- Bug-issue tracker
- Epochtalk issues ^{[might come in handy]}

I wonder why the roadmap was taken down

Perhaps they've already implemented all of those features into Epochtalk ^{[don't quote me one that]}.

In addition to the above, there is a Discord server, of cource not an official one, as everything on Bitcointalk( but managed by one of the Admins here), where is a channel for the Epochtalk development. Not really active one, at least not lately.
There's a bot posting the last changes and revisions.

Thank you. I had no idea there was an (un)official Bitcointalk Discord server. I will join in and see what is currently being worked on.

I read about the plans with the new software Epochtalk.
I acutally created a mobile phone friendly bitcoin Forum on forumbitcoin.org: www.forumbitcoin.org.
The design is quite simple, somehow similar to this fourm and it just looks better an all mobile devices. Let me know what you think.

Looks ok, but that's because it's just a WordPress site with a forum theme, so made to look ok.
Good job, but WordPress might not be the winning solution in this case.

You didn't create anything, you just used a wordpress theme (probably free version) called Cryptocurrency Exchange that is made by awplife and this has nothing to do with bitcointalk forum.
I also identified what plugins you are using with wpthemedetector, it's BuddyPress, wpForo Forum, Akismet Spam Protection and Shield Security.
Wordpress is much worse for security and it's much easier to hack, so I would never run a forum like this.

It's worth noting that Epochtalk actually has a responsive design ^{[mobile-friendly]} and you can even try it from "here".

Although it looks okay ^[ish], the main focus should be on creating a secure/bulletproof forum and by the looks of things, that's not the case...

It's more accurate to say Wordpress is not secure enough by default. There's good reason why Wordpress is most popular option for blogging/personal website.

WordPress is used by 65.3% of all the websites whose content management system we know. This is 43.3% of all websites.

And besides, I do not think WordPres can serve as a serious forum platform, since it was not designed for that purpose. There is no way it could successfully run a forum of this magnitude such as bitcointalk. It may be the most popular content management platform for simple websites, but forums are quite another story.

[TheBeardedBaby]

There are already BTCBTCBTC invested, and there is already a product coming to a final phase, it's all about testing and bug hunting.
Why derailing already build platform with WordPress?

WordPress is so widely used because it's intuitive, no need a programming background to run one and there are hundreds of thousands different themes and add-ons free and paid which make everything finished with a few clicks. I also ran a website sometime ago based on WP, I know exactly how it is.

I do not doubt the tech background of our admins are way above this click-and-run strategy most of the ppl choose to, do because it's easier.

So does the latest version of SMF (the software currently being used here)...

It seems that you're right ^[source], but considering the fact that the current forum software ^{[SMF 1.1.19]} has been heavily modified, I'm assuming it'd take an equal amount of time ^{[or more]} to modify the latest version; hence, it made sense to opt for Epochtalk!

[JohnnyQPublic]

Somehow that doesn't make much sense but whatever floats your boat I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you upgraded your old Honda Civic and decide to buy a new Accord can you retrofit all the upgraded parts to the new car that easily and without any issues ? Now multiply that with 100 and welcome to the coding world

Still waiting?  

Just wondering when exactly the creation of the new forum software was started.

Just wondering when exactly the creation of the new forum software was started.

I don't think there's public information with regard to its exact starting point, but judging by the date on the "Current requirements" thread, it must've been in the second week of March 2014.
^{- It's worth noting that I'm seeing a slightly different result from looking at the following "repositories", but I don't know my way around GitHub (I might be missing something)!}

[bluefirecorp_]

Darn, yall weren't supposed to bump the thread.

I wanted to code new software that fulfils all the requirements and get a smoler bounty than the 10k BTC paid for the first forum software 

[mole0815]

There are always updates in the #epochtalk channel from Bitcointalk Discord. And also very recent ones, so that should mean something is happening with the source code.
Or do I understand this wrong?

They are working on the server side, there's a lot of activity yeah.

Man, feels like my Grand kids will be the ones to enjoy the new forum software that is, provided the tech behind its build isn't old by the time of it's release

It's not an easy task this one to make something from scratch.

I hope the forums will still be actual when the software is released
