[fmiboy]

what kind of projects are we voting for?

clients/website/services/tools or all projects that are being developed ?

[pinarello]

I think there are more candidates + can we see results? especialy from the exchange.

also we have to alocate money for the client developers mistafreeze, minusbalancer and marcus03

[msin]

Yes, we should add more to the list if needs be.  I think we should give QBTC 100k now for Nxtcrytp site and to keep everything up and running.  Passion when Nxtvote is fully operational.  l8orre when the asset exchange is released (should be soon).

[fmiboy]

Please consider Clienxt GUI as well!

current working feature list:

overview - current market price in usd, btc. overall account balance in nxt, usd, btc (calculated sum of all unlocked account's balance)
console - output running NRS, context menu (restart, stop server when it fails, replace blocks.nxt and transactions.nxt with backup ones)
unlock - account list, unlock your all accounts, add accounts to watch, remove any account from database (table is saved in lib/accounts.dat)
send - send nxt, send msg, send nxt with attached msg, multisend nxt, multisend msg, multisend nxt with msgs attached. message encryptions are hex (curve is being implemented)
transactions - show transactions for selected accounts, messages are separated
alias - show aliases for selected account, assign/modify alias, simple search
asset exchange - limited APIs, after AE fully made public, this window will be fully functional
votings - not yet implemented.

menu
languages - english, russian
settings - set default values

will update this post if I have forgotten any features that are already implemented.
ps: never had or was considered for a bounty, received about ~3k donations which I am grateful for and will keep working on GUI

Currently with a few outside developers on payment modules for the main open source ecommerce and CMS systems.
First draft has been sent to wesleyh for review, as I want someone from inside to look it over before we go any further.
Hopefully he has will give some insights if he has time.

Still in initial stages.

CMS/commerce list:

prestashop
oscommerce
magento
Drupal
Wordpress
Joomla

I am developing, with a friend, a possible solution to gateway trust issues for the asset exchange. Initially, it will be somewhat centralized, but the project will be structured in such a way that when DACs are implemented in NXT it will be a seamless transition to trustless gateways.

Does my installer count after I took myself out of the running for the client bounty?

See my signature.

Sounds like a lot of great projects in the works!  

I believe we should start to limit bounties of unclaimed Nxt to finished open source projects.  Website are still eligible, but receive a smaller amount.  That way if the developer wants to take their Nxt and run, the community can take over development.  We could elect someone to review the code and then release funds.  Thoughts?

great idea!

I am optimizing latest feature (auto download/update NRS). currently it is hard coded, but it will change soon:

line 3668: https://bitbucket.org/fmiboy/clienxt/src/b3a4dacfb2706d198f067993413ce7e19f14caf9/src/clienxt/ClienxtForm.java?at=master#cl-3668

I agree with you on that.

Just my 2 cents on current state of the development progress.
We are going the wrong way in terms of the NXT development as a whole.
The simple example is Messaging over AM:

• We do have like 5(?) different implementations
• We do not have any documents describing the Messaging system as a whole
• We do not have any documents describing the protocol used for Messaging over AM
• We do have the software fragmentation in 1 particular feature (there is no client which supports all of the messages created)

So actually we are shooting our own leg this way.

It is important to have not only the source code open and uptodate but to have easy readable description of the processes.
I think that document should be reviewed by someone, edited, discussed by community in terms of functionality. Should be discussed at least some way by client devs.

Cfb mentioned that there will be some voting system functionality implemented soon. We need to get the details on that no to reinvent the wheel in our clients. Cause we already do have one implementation ...

Also Cfb mentioned some time ago about the bips like process. I think that's really good idea.
Anyway i think it makes sense to start with SOME documentation at least.

What do you think about that?

[EvilDave]

It is vote by objection.

...small cut...

Also, should I even bother with the crypto algo review?  Sounds like Jesse James can help us with that.  On that note I recommend a 250k bounty for Jesse James from unclaimed dev Nxt.  If we still want a crypto review, I can use 10 BTC from my own wallet, but I need a very clear and concise response on what we specifically need from someone reviewing the algo.

Jesse James is DoctorEvil,  of  "It was a bright cold day in April..." fame?
+10 for him, in that case.

He already obtained 10 Btc we were having for algo review. He also agreed to become a dev condultant

Totally agree with you.

[pinarello]

As I see it QBTC (nxtcrypto) - 100k, and Passion_LTC (Nxtvote, Nxtion, etc) - 150k are marketing they already received bounty there.

I agree with salsacz, jesse james already received 10 BTC, and will get more along the way when he delivers.

so lets reserve this thread for clients and other NEW projects

if you think your project should get a bounty, list it here.

What do you mean with 'are marketing'?

QBTC is running a whole server just for us. She should get the bounty. About me, I can't be neutral here. I have 3 other projects in the pipeline, funds are always welcomed. :p

I don't say you don't deserve a bounty, I am only saying it should be handled by the marketing commitee.

I was mainly talking about QBTC.
