BTCD is no more

[BTCDDev]

Hmm, development seems to be really on a roll here..
3 commits ever, no significant update since initial upload.
What are you guys all talking about?

Answering myself: This is apparently the main repository: https://github.com/jl777/libjl777
What is it for? How is this connected to SuperNET and BTCD?
Has anybody ever went through this?

That is James' libjl777 code that is being currently developed and integrated into the BTCD core.

The current btcd repo only has a few commits, as someone pointed out. This is because we are using separate repos for active development, and will update the official repo once the new wallet is done.

is the wallet close to beta?

Yes.

Can you give Estimated time?

Difficult for me to say exactly, but not too long. I am working basically full-time on this project now. If you've read the forums much, you'll know that I successfully implemented libjl777 into BTCD itself last week. This was a huge and essential step.

As far as my work now, I am doing some minor (but not unimportant!) tweaks and trying to compile everything under Windows, which is really quite a bit harder than it sounds.

James is working hard as well, trying to finish superNET api.

He posted this a few days ago:

P.S. for those who understand some coding, you know how hard it is to have small amounts of code do a lot of things, let along doing amazing things and you will not the long distance calling is not there yet. So, this I must do for SuperNET, then we get SuperTeleport! Not just teleporting BTCD to any other BTCD node, but BTCD to ANY node in the SuperNET. Isnt that worth a week or even two delay?

You can see from the libjl777 repo that the functionality is really done. I integrated it into BTCD. Building under Windows is, of course, the next logical step, and as the quote says, James is now expanding libjl777 to all of superNET, which takes some extra time but will be totally worth it.

It's a hectic time for all of us, believe me. We want to complete this project as much as the community wants it. You won't see me much on the forums because I am usually working. We will all rest easier once this is all delivered!

Someone needs to Photoshop lightsabres and force lighting into that^

Thanks, for this essential update.. you know i was about to sell 10k coins ?

Do it.

If you think we haven't been making progress in development or are scamming somehow, just take a look over the libjl777 repo. You can see the functionality for teleport, tradebots, transporters, etc.

I 100% knew you were going to.

Do it.

Don't tempt me ! I gonna do it !

Do it!

it was last authored 21 days ago... is this library ready? ... might take a much closer look at it.

I havent pushed in a while
I will be very soon as soon as the code stabilizes, this weekend at the latest
Have had some few distractions after waiting delay and a little new functionality to add

What's about BTCD that you choose BTCD? Did you get fooled by the name? Why don't you choose XST that has Tor, PoW+PoS, coin joining and SMS transmissions?

While I hold some XST, don't come here and start this shit.

Why choose BTCD?  jl777

hey not the correct thread for such questions. The supernet thread is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=762346.0 but you should petition your devs to apply here http://supernet.answerbase.com/ .

He was not asking about joining the supernet

To simplify things, I am deciding to remove the libwebsockets created :7777 interface and provide access to the SuperNET API via BTCD RPC calls

The coordination of multiple instances of libjl777 is giving me some headaches and it is not required for the initial configuration of BTCD + NXT in the SuperNET core. I also think that providing RPC interface will make it much easier for other coins to interface to the  SuperNET API.

The side effect of this is that users will be required to install BTCD and NXT for accessing the SuperNET
However, since the "Enter SuperNET" is at the user's option, I think this is an acceptable thing to require, especially since it avoids the need for solving the coordination issue.

Later I can create some sort of daisy chain registration mechanism to allow for the parallel instances. Maybe the upgrade path will be a bit messy, but I figure the sooner the tech is out the better.

Hi James,  I think this is an acceptable compromise, but only if the installation is packaged and seamless.  What we should try to avoid is having to have users separately install different components in order to get it working.  Ultimately this needs to be as simple to install and use as possible - something that crypto wallets generally lack!  So a "one click" install process for each O/S would be the ideal.

vanbreuk does installers, so once we have all the components I think it would be as easy as clicking the "Enter SuperNET" and following the instructions. Just dont expect me to do installers, I am too lazy to learn how to make them

[jl777]

much easier to remove code!
libwebsockets is not used and I pushed all the latest
still not fully debugged, but there have been some changes since last push

The latest shift for the BitcoinDark multipool paid out over 49 BTCD.

Anonymous BTCD Debit Cards for Fiat Withdrawal

Crypto ⇒ Cash! An Anon Card is similar to a traditional pre-paid debit MasterCard but will allow BitcoinDark users the ability to anonymously transfer BTCD to fiat.

Anon cards will enable users to bridge the divide between Crypto and the Traditional Banking system. What this means is that you will be able to load your Anon card with BTCD and convert to fiat to make purchases or withdrawals.

However, Anon cards allow users to keep personal information private. Traditional debit cards are directly linked to users through personal information that is required in order to receive them, but with Anon Cards, no personal information is required to receive a card so your personal information will remain private, and your use of the card anonymous.

That is nice but is for very long term? What is the dev working on right now and is there any scheduled release soon?

The bankers are being very slow, coinomat is negotiating the best deal we can

If by "dev" you mean me, I just posted https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=684090.msg8768148#msg8768148 and one hour later pushed the latest source. I am working on debugging: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=762346.msg8662643;topicseen#msg8662643 so that we can do long distance Teleports

After being delayed by some non-coding stuff, I am back into coding mode, I had estimated 3.6 days for the debugging of Teleport to beta level, but added SuperNET requirements, so probably not till early next week

James

So if all goes well Teleport may be released in less that two weeks?
