BTCD is no more

Donation Update!

We're now asking the community to help raise funds for development purposes.  We currently have a lot in the pipeline, and we have need to fund Core Development, Website Development, Promotion and Marketing, etc.

All donations will be pooled into one large fund with which the dev team will then use on a need to need basis.  The process will be transparent and all funds being paid out will be listed on the new website.  

Our short term goal is to raise 5000 BTCD.  We hope the BitcoinDark community can provide the support we need to make BTCD one of the top coins around!

James (jl777) will match all BTCD raised for donations with an equal market value of NXTprivacy

I decided to finally try purchasing NXT coins going through MGW by sending BTC to the NXT wallet and it worked flawlessly. It does take a while to receive the bitcoin though. Not only did I not have to use an outside exchange, but the end result was a higher coin count. James, if you can get that setup to work in the BTCD wallet I might have to buy you a beer. I'm at the point that NXT and BTCD is the only coins I own.

Hey James,

I can setup a win 7 comp and team viewer if you want access to one to do testing and compiling?

BTCDdev is running windows fine. We just both dislike it.
I think I found a workaround for the last compiler error so next step is to get some simple tests verified and then setup a testnet tomorrow. results soon. Keep in mind we are just finally getting to where we can compile it, so could be a while before ready for anything other than dev testing.

At first I just need a testnet so I can bounce around telepod fragments and make sure the network doesnt blow up. during my loopback test I had a runaway packet explosion problem, other than giving me some ideas on how to blow up any clone's network, it was just quite annoying.

Just to let you know I requested an withdrawal from cryptsy 10 hours ago and confirmed it by email.
It still says pending. . .

Anyone else with similar issue?

good news!
Of course we need to fix this so users dont have to do such things

Is there a way that we can open the browser and pass in a BTCD address to use for logging in?
Maybe just pass it in as a parameter to the URL? this way the QT button can:

1. unlock wallet for 3 seconds
2. directly open the browser with address in URL
3. you can then get the privkey and store it locally and use it as NXT passphrase, basically automate the current login process with the "Remember password" selected
4. then it opens up with all the standard assets already there so the user wont have to do anything special

Maybe we need a button to make a request from faucet and other such useful things for a new user
We need graphics to reskin this to make it all BTCD look and feel

James

We can always use query string to access the URL with additional info (or maybe any other better alternative). From the qt client the link should somehow look like this :

http://localhost:7876/index.html?btcd=<BTCD_ADDR>&user=rpcuser1&pass=rpcpassword1

If these 3 parameter is presented, Nxt core will do a rpc call to method dumpprivkey "btcd addr" as the passphase, everything i describe correctly ?

Thanks for the beer! I seem to be getting a lot of beer and wine offers
Except I dont drink, but I am happy you liked MGW
It is totally automated system and not designed for speed but for coin safety, so not much can be done for a while to speed it up, maybe I will do that next year, but for now higher priority stuff to do.

I hope by this time next week, BTCD will be running in MGW

yes, I think this makes it pretty seamless for the user.
QT dev just needs to remember to unlock the wallet for 3 seconds before invoking the localhost URL so your dumpprivkey wont fail

BTCDdev got it compiled under windows!
Now we can start testing the interface, most likely will take a bit to get the kinks out, but this is linear code, meaning you just go till it breaks, find the break, fix it, go a bit further, etc.

Just a matter of time now to connect the debug console directly into my API, then I can start debugging the real system

James

one last library to find and link in and we can test passing JSON strings from the debug console to my codebase
Soooo close

Of course, just getting all the required components in and just getting it to not crash will be a big step, even if it crashes that's ok as we just fix each bug until it is stable.

For the record, I hate windows!

I need a NXT address to send the NXTprivacy to. I dont want to fall behind in matching the amounts raised. If BTCD moons, then I will run out of NXTprivacy

Not sure yet, but sounds like BTCDdev just built BitcoinDarkd, or maybe QT, not sure.
crash report coming soon
This windows stuff is horribly tiring

Anyone else with similar issue?

I have seen some other posts a few posts before mine having the same issues.
They replied to me from cryptsy and they said "Wallet team should have BTCD fixed by morning, I believe it is in maintenance. "

What I believe is that they are staking with our coins.

I wouldn't even be surprised if that was the case.. Worst customer support ever :/

[jl777]

It was the QT that was built and loaded.
We plan to initialize and send a "hello world" JSON
