So is it true that Ron has been kicked?

[jrmg]

When you have dead line for this next public build release?

The mDex is supposed to be released on Aug 31 2015.

Don’t be silly.  It’s coming soon.  We have an internal deadline but no public ones yet because I don’t want the devs’ wives to kill me.

Craig

I know your guys are hard working on this project, and the delay is normal . All we need is a regular report on the progress. If a project want to be successful , the interaction is more important than only dev.

Very different line with counterparty. They make everything open, inform all bugs and time lines etc for community. Everything is open for investors, new investors and interested peoples and companys who want join to counterparty. Same time Mastercoin team go so deep under ground what is possible and even no post screenshot of their new linux software to forum.

Can someone paste here this new software screenshots or is that only command line now?

[cinnamon_carter]

is it possible that someone can post specifics on how to compile this either for win or linux, ive looked through your docs and it's kind of confusing what is used for what, also is there a type of 'test net' for anyone to run tests on, a few of your pages on github have warnings listed about loss of btc for testing....ect....

[DGulari]

Well, Ron quit.  I guess this is the end of Mastercoin?

I think it‘s good to msc. Ron is  full of enthusiasm but too idealism.

cinnamon_carter Don't feel bad, I went through the docs and there is more information included than is needed for a basic build. I'll try and summarize the steps here:

First step is to install dependencies: https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/build-unix.md#dependency-build-instructions-ubuntu--debian

Note Mastercore has only been tested on Ubuntu and I have personally verified that using this method on a brand new Ubuntu vm works.  

I went ahead and installed the dependencies for the QT Gui but I'm not sure it was necessary: https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/build-unix.md#dependencies-for-the-gui-ubuntu--debian

I now notice this note as well: The release is built with GCC and then "strip bitcoind" to strip the debug symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%. I did not run the stip command on my bin

After the dependencies are all met it's time to go back to the https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/README.md#installation Ignoring the testnet stuff.

Note the compiled binary will be /mastercore/src/bitcoind I moved this to a usr/bin/ directory so I could have system wide access to launching it.

Don't forget to create a bitcoin.conf file like the first run tells you. Also add these additional parameters to the conf file:

Code:

server=1
txindex=1

This way you don't have to start the daemon using the txindex flag every time (Which is a required param in order to get Master Protocol Features)

[genecyber]

I'd like to highlight the in progress Mastercore API Docs. These can be easily overlooked so I thought they deserved their own shout out.

https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/apidocumentation.md

For example When I build out a wallet I'll take a look at:
https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/apidocumentation.md#broadcasting-a-simple-send-transaction
https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/apidocumentation.md#obtaining-a-master-protocol-balance
https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/apidocumentation.md#retrieving-a-master-protocol-transaction

With a little magic I can turn JSON responses into java and C# Objects like this:

Code:

{
    "txid" : "d2907fe2c716fc6d510d63b52557907445c784cb2e8ae6ea9ef61e909c978cd7",
    "sendingaddress" : "myN6HXmFhmMRo1bzfNXBDxTALYsh3EjXxk",
    "referenceaddress" : "mhgrKJ3WyX1RMYiUpgA3M3iF48zSeSRkri",
    "direction" : "out",
    "confirmations" : 884,
    "fee" : 0.00010000,
    "blocktime" : 1403298479,
    "blockindex" : 49,
    "type" : "Simple Send",
    "currency" : 1,
    "divisible" : true,
    "amount" : 50.00000000,
    "valid" : true
}

Becomes this:

Code:

public class Transaction
{
    public string txid { get; set; }
    public string sendingaddress { get; set; }
    public string referenceaddress { get; set; }
    public string direction { get; set; }
    public int confirmations { get; set; }
    public double fee { get; set; }
    public int blocktime { get; set; }
    public int blockindex { get; set; }
    public string type { get; set; }
    public int currency { get; set; }
    public bool divisible { get; set; }
    public double amount { get; set; }
    public bool valid { get; set; }
}

All ready to be made into a nice strongly typed object oriented application.

I had an interesting thought this morning - at today's price (0.007 BTC/MSC), I could easily purchase back all the MSC I sold a few months ago in order to quit my job, and maybe even INCREASE my position to larger than it was after the launch of the project!

I mentioned this to our team internally, and everybody there has turned me down flat (so far).

So I ask you guys - does anybody want to unload a big chunk of MSC all at once at today's hilariously low prices? If so, please PM me.

Also on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/mastercoin/comments/2cmc8t/anybody_selling_a_big_chunk_of_msc/

I'm glad for you for making a killing off this venture. Probably not a good idea to flaunt it though.

[dacoinminster]

So far the offers I've received aren't anywhere NEAR the spot price, so I'll go up a bit. Anybody want to unload their MSC at 0.0075 BTC/MSC?

Honest question: why don't you just put a buying order on masterXchange.com if you are so serious about it?
It feels like you are avoiding the oldest service using Mastercoin and, as one of the co-founder, I'd like to understand why.

I love masterxchange!

Hey wait a minute! How did you know that big buy wall isn't me?! Did you snoop?!

I may very well use it, but I am hoping there is some big fish out there who wants to sell a bunch of MSC but wasn't going to use the exchanges for fear of crashing the price to zero with their huge sell. If that person exists, I'm hoping to meet them soon.

JR is Great！！

Seems pretty sleazy to advertise your offer on an exchange chatroom then do the exchange in private.

the price is different!

Got it. You'll be happy to hear we'll add soon (probably this week) iceberg orders, wich are hidden orders, for just this sort of cases!
That being said, your announcement alone may pump up the price

It's hard to move a huge volume through the exchanges. This is exactly how I sold a large volume in February, if you recall: http://www.reddit.com/r/mastercoin/comments/1uo0ft/buy_mastercoins_directly_from_jr_founder_of/

 Now I'm doing the same thing, but buying this time. It worked then, and I expect it to work now.

I don't recall you going on to ElDido's exchange and advertising your private sell back then.

[dacoinminster]

I don't recall you going on to ElDido's exchange and advertising your private sell back then.

I see what you mean! I don't recall if I did that then or not (was there even a trollbox then?). I generally post things of interest everywhere I know people are interested in MSC, but I agree that I probably shouldn't have mentioned my private offer in the exchange chatroom - bad form.

Sorry ElDido!

JR is back!we're saved.Msc will go to the moon.
