Mastercoin Faucet: New Bounty ($500-$850)

[dexX7]

looks good but i got this message when I tried out my bitcointalk profile:

Too bad. Sorry, prophetx...
You have 825 posts and 224 activity score, your profile was created on April 1, 2013.

And therefore you are not qualified for this reward, because you need an activity score above 10 as well as at least 10 posts and furthermore your account must be created before August 1, 2013.

Could it be that there is an error with the signature? There should be an explicit warning now, if this is the case.

I tested:

okay i get it now,  you mean sign the message with bitcoin qt.

when I read the directions I thought it was referring to the signature in bitcointalk's profile information (a little tired from writing lots of essays)

[vokain]

Can mastercoin run on testnet? What about testnet mastercoins and a faucet for it?

Gavin ran a faucet for Bitcoin for a long time ...

Indeed, that's how I got my first 0.5 BTC!

and how many people would not have learned what BTC was before me through this mechanism, who in turn may have been implementive in me jumping into BTC? Consider secondary, tertiary effects...

[bitdraw]

everything worked using the forum option

[o3u]

I tried with reddit, and got this:

Code:

Retrieve request via form id

Check, if legit request

Check, if valid address

Check balance

Create raw tx and broadcast via blockchain.info (...)

Store entry in DB

Not sure if it worked it's not showing yet, and tried it a second time to no avail with my public key.

[dexX7]

Sorry, I should have made this more clear probably. This is just a test, there is no payout yet and what there is, is not 100 % finished. Just wanted to share some progress.

[ripper234]

Hey,

I created a first test version of a Mastercoin faucet.

The actual payout module is not yet created. I want to create raw transactions and push them to blockchained.info (or similar).

4/5 authentication methods are implemented. The code is not complete and not optimized.

Let me know, what you think.

Great stuff, looking good!

I officially forked your code over to https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercoin-faucet

For the record, the project isn't sponsored by me, but rather by The Mastercoin Foundation.

So cool! Somehow I forgot to sign up for notifications on this thread, so I am only just now seeing this. Please post to reddit when you are ready for the masses!

Have we made provision to fund this faucet somehow? I assume that is in addition to the bounty money . . .

[jaspita]

Tested the site with bitcointalk authentication, everything went smooth!

Good job, waiting for the site to be active   


Cheers, jaspita

Yeah, we agreed in one of the board internal emails to fund it with $850 bounty + $1,500 faucet rewards.


BTW, can we make sure that the faucet sends Test Mastercoins alongside the real mastercoins?
We will of course fund the faucet with TMSC alongside the MSC.

[ripper234]

FYI I redirected faucet.mastercoin.org to your website.

If you want, we can set that up as a CNAME instead of a URL redirect.

I'm still not publishing it officially, we need some more testing of course.

[dexX7]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

I'll push a few improvements over the weekend and I also want to start with experimental payouts soon. When it's ready, I'm going to announce it here.

[ripper234]

And regarding my proposal for a CNAME from faucet.mastercoin.org?

[Tachikoma]

Please make sure you use multisig transactions.

[ripper234]

Please make sure you use multisig transactions.

+1

I think Willett said it once already, but to clarify - all new Mastercoin projetcs must use the latest encoding by default.

Tachikoma - there are three different encodings, right? Willett's original one, multisig, and something using what Gavin introduced in 0.9?
Or am I mistaken and #2 = #3 ?

[prophetx]

Code:

Please enter your Mastercoin address and click submit to claim your bounty:

i think you ought to explain here that Mastercoin address is a Bitcoin address, and that the address should either come from blockchain.info wallet (maybe even link to the blockchain wallet set up page) or bitcoin-qt.

Sorry for ignorance

But What i need to do to achieve "sign the message Mastercoin faucet with that address." with my BTC Adress?

[prophetx]

Sorry for ignorance

But What i need to do to achieve "sign the message Mastercoin faucet with that address." with my BTC Adress?

I believe what this means is in bitcoint-qt go to File  then Sign Message with that text.

Can this be done from Blockhain.info account? I can't get the Bitcoin QT on my hardrive (using only SSD), it eats too much of space (although i'm not even sure it needs to sync fully for this to be done).

does your code check if they subscribe to http://www.reddit.com/r/mastercoin? or just checks karma?
