Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [5500+ BTC]

[escrow.ms]

There is no will at all to improve the current platform, the admin showed that refusing any serious offer.

Thats true, theymos is paranoid about security,he doesn't even wants to test forum software that are available now nor he wants to reply pm's about this job.

[Mooshire]

Looks like Theymos picked himself up quite a bit of pocket change here.

Can you seriously not have found someone capable of this by now?  It's been months.

I could do this in my sleep (as a matter of fact I do).   

What may I ask, what is the big problem? Why hasn't this contract began yet?

I'm not ecstatic about any of the bids, and I'm not in a hurry.

That's obvious as this post was made more than 18 months ago and the original is from 2011 and we have seen no major changes to the forum in these two years.  Rather than wait another two years, if anyone here is serious about building a new forum please come join us here:

One of our teams is working right now to try and fulfill this bounty, assuming it's still up for grabs.

The project can be seen here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276512.0), where any suggestions or feedback are more than welcome.

Thank you,
Syphor Software

I'm not here for the 5500 BTC, but I would like you to see http://dbtng.com/faq and our try for building the better forum for Bitcoin talk.

Key points:
1) Users gain trust by using the forum and behaving - helps in administration
2) One-page infinite scrolling
3) Quick and efficient
4) Modern, very much a work in progress (see http://github.com/discourse/discourse)
5) Safe and secure (see http://github.com/discourse/discourse)
6) Great UX, simple UI

Register and try for yourselves. All development ideas are welcome in General category.

Cheers

1. open source
2. bounty system
3. votes for features among trusted bitcointalk's users
4. votes for winners for one or another features

votes - bad.


Scenario:

One feature discussed, and voted like a TOP, most wanted, developers gathered around, source of forum is open, every who interesting, open their demo.

Period of time for votes.

Sold! Hammer's bump.

Feature is appear. One of developers get bounty.

All of features may stay in some queue and voting in parallel at the same time.
Thereafter this will become in to great building yard. And source of "bitcointalk's forum framework" risky to become a greatest one in the Internet history.


votes - bad.
 

Anyway, this thread become in to swamp. Seems like we never see new forum. (:

Maybe now is a good time to make this a priority...

You guys been talking about this on your site for quite some time now and it finally happened. Using old, out dated software and that's "free" should be  a NO to begin with with, All the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars this place to update the software and never did only shows your procrastination and your youth and some greed in there. When BTC was rising over into thw 200+ ranges I bet a software change would never have been though of then. Now that some information has been compromised, it really is in your best interest to get this updated. When I see this place is still running SMF 1.1 and the chauffeurs are full of money just make me think of greed.

Amd if you don't come out with something custom and secure, then another group will just do it better and make it more secure. This was bound to happen and talking about it  for a few months just wasn't the best approach . I use to read those posts months and months back on how you should make the forum better and all I heard was who can hold onto the funds securely since BTC is rising. Immature mistake kids would make.

Good luck, but I'll never post private info on here and personal information and pretty much take most content at a grain of salt.

10000% agree, it is retarded that the forum has such old software and has so much bitcoins to make a new one.
We are just not safe here, and that is what we need, a safe environment.

Safe enough for you?

[Eternity]

Do you still need anything ?

Maybe, you could hurt yourself by falling at the floor!
You'll never know, I accidentaly hurt myself with a pocket knife, I am so stupid...

Is this offer still in any shape active? I am a web developer specialising in PHP, and am willing to work on this full time. I can work on a fixed price (probably well under the bounty) paid bi-weekly in small instalments (so this will work in a salaried job type arrangement) and in return theymos or whoever gets access to the GitHub repository so they can monitor the progress themselves. Interested?

Ah well, worth a shot. Thanks

in 2011 the forum software was insufficient for their needs and here it is 2013 using the same stuff. Why in the world the thousands of dollars worth of donations they have haven't done any custom software is just baffling.

[jambola2]

They have a million dollars worth of bitcoin for upgrading the site ?

5500 BTC @ $340 => $1,870,000

Surely you can convert $1m into mutual funds or even government bonds and use the proceeds to hire someone full time

I think most people here believe that BTC is a better investment than mutual funds or government bonds.

Yah right.  Where are you going to find someone to code a forum for a million bucks.
