It is possible to understand what devs are working on???
last release was on 06 February 2015...

many thanks

I understand that you refer to technological work that is being done. I'll will describe a little of what I know, but also point to that development is being done within the two other areas: PR and software

Focusing on the technical side, I'd say it quite obvious that, at least, vbcs spend a lot of time implementing ATs in qora. Read Qora's thread and press releases; we also retweet some of their Twitter activity to show what is going on. The goal is, of course, to do the worlds first ACCT - between qora and BURST. Technically, BURST is ready for ACCTs as I understand it, but no other coin so far is. When AT is implemented in qora history will be made when an ACCT is done between the two blockchains. Where the researchers are in the process, I francly don't know (and if I knew, I probably wouldn't understand it well enough to explain it).

In between PR efforts and pure technological research, we have been put extensive work into writing a proper white-paper for BURST. In my opinion, it has been real bad that we haven't been able to point to a white-paper as other coin's do which present innovation way less than those BURST have. The paper is lengthy and will show the uniqueness and potential with BURST. It is due for release within two weeks (see mczarnek's posts).

On the software side major work is also being pursued to make adoption, plotting and mining of BURST much easier than it ever been before. This is of course a considerable task to complete, but it does move forward.

Besides the technological and software development, we continue our work on translating sites and thinking of ways of promoting BURST in, say, China or Russia. Translations will be presented as the translations are completed and we also are able to do some promotional work within that language area (see my sig).

The PR team will of course present the results of research as they become available. However, here we also have the funding problem described in my sig: To really do a good job with PR, we are in need of money so please donation your change to the improvement. Donation to the technological and software teams are of course also highly welcomed.

I'm sure I've missed some stuff, but that is the major things on what is going on behind the scene atm.

Don't hold me to two weeks.. And it's mostly a comparison of POC vs POS and POW.  It's got some whitepaper elements to it though and covers how Burst does things and issues with algo as well as how we make them non-issues.

Sure, sorry, good things take time. But a paper that will demonstrate that the energy cost of POC over POS is marginal, while the security or POC over POS is immense is, in my opinion, more than "whitepaper elements".

I was thinking about this today, and tiga reminded me it already exists.

where i can find some ling about ACCTs?

i read about vbcs DEV....
he is doing great job!!!

hope he continue to help BURST community

You can read some about Atomic Cross-Chain Transfer (ACCTs) over at CIYAM's AT-site: http://ciyam.org/at/.

To achieve a transfer between two different blockchains is huge and could lead to a development of an crypto scene or even Internet than we know it now. But we are in good hands: vbcs, CIYAM, BurstDev and Vrontis is at the very top of coders.

The BURST marketplace explorer.

Explain more about it, please. Is this like an ordinary market where trust between buyers/sellers are needed, or is the money escrowed in some way to make it trustless?

[mmmaybe]

Also, I still have someone that is working on a GUI for BURST, but he's busy and hasn't had a lot of time to actually do it. But that is another thing that is on the way.

We are also working on a public web wallet, and a mobile wallet.

Also, a wallet client (not web based) is another idea I've thrown out there that may be picked up.

Things are most definitely happening!

Damnit, this tweet just got obsolete https://twitter.com/real_BURSTCOIN/status/585916052565032960. This convo a little bigger here:

The BURST marketplace explorer.

Basically all the explorer does is let you know whose wallet addresses have an item for sale on the marketplace. If you see something you like, you can go into your marketplace... (http://pool.burstcoining.com:8125/index.html) by clicking "marketplace" on the left after logging into your wallet. Once you've done that use the explorer to find the account ID you need to add, add it and you can see the sellers items. As simple as that.

It is up to the seller (I believe, don't hold me to this) to make for escrow transactions.

But Since escrow is built into BURST as well (I still say it is the best coin ever.) it makes it very easy to implement escrow.

i got some time to continue to work on an indexed mysql blockchain copy and need some help with the tx types and subtypes.

my tx table contains all transactions ever made on the blockchain. currently there were 7 types and some subtypes used.
is there any documentation what the numbers mean like type 0 subtype 0 is a regular transfer from one account to another?

these are all combinations which currently exist in the tx data of the blockchain:
# type, subtype
'0', '0'
'1', '0'
'1', '6'
'1', '7'
'2', '1'
'3', '4'
'3', '5'
'3', '6'
'4', '0'
'20', '0'
'21', '0'
'21', '3'

Buyer seller trust is still needed, and so ebay etc. may still be safer for the buyer, but it is better in that it has no fees going to a party outside of the deal.

Holy cow, BURST was voted second in this competition, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1000833.0 voted ahead of really big coins like ripple. Burst is poular and has widespread acceptance, we'll mob the floor with most other much higher marketcap altcoins.

With this kind of end user support, burst marketing department might consider doing a campaign for voting burst into some more exchanges - that might allow more traders to be able to trade burst.  

We could, and would gladly do that (as when we get the Chinese site, we'd need an Asian exchange), but atm we have zero money for PR. We have the BTC collected for the next press release secured, but those will be used for that. Since we mostly need BTC, setting up a CF isn't going to solve it.

We did get a generous donation from a Russian guy, but those BTC are invested and will soon bear fruit. As of now, we are paying all expenses by ourself, and that is far for ideal... I'd estimate I donated a more than million BURST by now, and that just me of the crew members.

I'll put a BTC address for your change BTC in my sig together with a BURST address, and hope that more community members and crew will do the same. I can promise you total transparency of who donates and what the money is spent on, reported in a thread at BurstForum.

On the .info-website, we are also planning for a "Hall of Fame"-wall for donors as their generosity is very important for the growth of BURST, not least internationally. So if you donate some sats, please PM me or email your nick, tx and sum so we can give you proper credit in the future.

Regards


EDIT: Put up temporary Hall of Fame at http://burstcoin.info/about/ and a spending thread on https://burstforum.com/index.php?threads/donate-to-the-pr-team.783/

Just made a 250,000 BURST donation as well as a 2500 transaction fee (for the miners.) BURST is amazing. Let us continue to make it moreso! Thanks!

edit : btw, the link to byte.enterprises doesn't work from the about page, and there is no link to burst.ninja. Can we add both of those things? Also, I have a few grammatical corrections that I will send your way. Overall it is great!

Thanks for your continues support! Updated Hall of Fame and links Se my sig.

However, I'd be great to see some other names but the usual suspects when it comes to donation. If BURST should reach it's full potential wide-spread support is needed.

And you do not have to do as crowe and send a massive quarter of a mill: Many donations of 1K BURST and 0,02BTC will together give us strength (and your name on the Hall of Fame as a token that you financially supports BURST).


EDIT:
0,799BTC on 17SrpSXT6Zv1DvtyoSaSM1mzGhCMX7szRg [note: I put unconfirmed on this one; I only donated half of that sum and have no idea why it shows the double)
275,000 BURST on BURST-NUKZ-MDJR-G7VD-BQ5A6

As this is so important for how we are able to present the innovation our researchers and crew do, I pump this again. We have a lot more than 15,000 BURST wallets out there, but so far only two members have donated...

I'll put this as clearly as possible: Without economic help from the community, BURST will not reach it's full potential. Donating is an investment in the coin's future value. For how to donate, see me sig.

Just sent a donation your way.

H.

Thanks a lot for your generosity and concern for BURST, haitch! You name will never be forgotten.

We'll make a better locking and clearer Hall of Fame-page eventually and move the early contributers over there, tho. We'll also secure access to the wallets by more than one Team member.

For now donors are found at http://burstcoin.info/about/#Angles

But Since escrow is built into BURST as well (I still say it is the best coin ever.) it makes it very easy to implement escrow.

Yes, in theory it is quite simple to see escrow implemented; would be nice to have it tho. That, and some kind of grad system on the active sellers/buyers and ebay can close for good!

Ahh, yes, reward recipient is type 20, and subtype 0, and AT's are type 22

the wallet link is a great point to start with. many thanks for it.

# type, subtype
'0', '0' - Payment -- Ordinary payment
'1', '0' - Messaging -- Arbitrary message
'1', '6' - Messaging -- Hub terminal announcement
'1', '7' - Messaging -- Account info
'2', '1' - Colored coins -- Asset transfer
'3', '4' - Digital goods -- Purchase

'3', '6' - Digital goods -- Feedback
'4', '0' - Account Control -- Effective balance leasing
'20', '0' -
'21', '0' -
'21', '3' -

what i am currently not sure about is wether my mysql db misses some tx entries or the whole type 2 asset trades use only 2-1 types.

does anyone have any suggestions on how to modify the java wallet start batch file so that when the java wallet crashes, the bat file will launch it again?
I added a simple :start and goto start around current bat file but I think it just starts it in an infinite loop.
any ideas?
the java wallet started crashing today on win 10 all of a sudden.

The wallet normally doesn't crash....it kinda just stops working....so best would be a restart script which kills and restarts it every n minutes or hours. I actually wouldn't mind that script for *nix....

Yeah, I can modify my run anywhere script to that - as long as it is fully crashing, if it's just going comatose I can't detect that. Incorporating a "kill the wallet every n <time period> would also work with the script.
