Hi,

An dumb question guys,

How i uninstall in windows 64bits the old bitbay wallet? bitbay-qt

Thank you

I just want to uninstall to install the new wallet.

The old QT wallet is simple the executable. Deleting it will uninstall it. However there are files stored in the folder c:\users\(your user name)\appdata\roaming\bitbay

However just remember in that folder is wallet.dat which contains your account so make sure to back that up or move funds out of that wallet before you intend on deleting that folder.

Thanks man, right now my BAYs are in the exchange and delete the files from the old wallet.

Hello, I really like this project but have some questions:

1. You have listed many job positions but it is still hard to distinguish, at least for me, how many active coders are working on this project?
2. Any plans to market the product to a broader audience if so when we can expect that (don't see this on the road map)?
3. What do you think about your competition and why do you think your solution will win? I am mainly asking about ZCoin which already got a lot of recognition and has decentralized marked on their road map but feel free to also comment briefly on any other projects.
4. Is this project fully open source?

Yes it's open source. However on the Python Markets/Halo client we change variable names to prevent easy cloning. Our decentralized markets exist. Other projects only have it on their roadmap as you have said. Also our markets are the best because we don't use arbitration. Arbitration on an anonymous crypto is a bad idea. They don't have vested interest and their judgement will be a coin toss causing loss for users, they can also collude and steal escrows or escrow their own deals by luck, and crypto is non-reversible.

Thus we have the tried and tested double deposit escrow AKA unbreakable contracts where both parties place a deposit of some size and both lose if one of them tries to cheat the deal. It's a "Halo handshake" like a self insured escrow. This is a huge feature because it can really benefit any industry (what industry doesn't benefit from an unbreakable contract)

We do market this however we are still building the team. Right now there is a lot of people helping to improve our marketing.

We have a bounty list and most of them are for marketing. However I'm the only coder who works on the core Markets Client (I started working on this 4 years ago in BitHalo). We have another coder who does JavaScript and some of the side projects like the poker site, the web wallet, the block explorer.

And then we have a couple volunteer coders who are doing things like the Bitmessage relay. And we also have one more coder who has worked on a new UI for QT and a dedicated Mac Wallet that isn't Wine.

[CryptoSceptic]

Thank you very much for the response. I like the premise of this product but the lack of marketing really worries me the most. It wouldn't be the first nor the last time when a good, if not superior, product losses because of that reason. Going long on this!

Edit:
After posting this I have realized I might come as a shill. Oh well you just had a FUD guy so I can be a shill guy  .

You're or anyone's opinion are always welcome friend especially when conveyed in such a manner, glad to hear your long on bitbay, wise move i think

I have some follow up questions. Since you are the only coder how maintainable is your code? Are you the only one who has the unobscured source code?

[BrechREiZ]

Has anyone ever tried to use the RPC commands of the wallet?
It tried both bitbay-qt and bitbayd (newest github clone), and everytime I send a request I only get "empty responses".

This is what I send:

Code:

curl -u bitbayrpc:BBZP3Q4MqWqksU -X post -d '{"id": "0", "method":"getinfo",  "params": []}' -H 'content-type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1:25001

Curl always reports:

Code:

curl: (52) Empty reply from server

I tried GET and POST and digest auth. Everytime same behaviour.  

The same Curl command works for many other currency wallets, only bitbay is making problems.
 
The port is configurated in bitbay.conf and netstat is showing bitbay listening on this port, so to that point everthing seems to be correct.
Looks like either a problem in my command or a problem in bitbay wallet RPC implementation?
But other wallets from other currencies would also respond an adequate JSON encoded error message in the case the given command is invalid. Bitbay just does nothing.

Bay is rocken now,  might make a stellar move in the coming days

[cryptohunter]

I don't even consider bay recognised until 10k sats

then appreciated at 15k- 20k sats

Great question, I have the entire code memorized and know where everything is. There is a couple very trusted members of the community who have a copy of the full code in case anything happens to me and they also have the whitepaper of my peg so a coder would know the way to do it.

With that said, my code is all in one file. It could really use a refactor and even be broken up into a library of extremely useful crypto tools. Since the software does so much other coders would benefit a lot from the techniques used. I would like to see a team of coders eventually rewrite it in JavaScript.

When I add things to the code I have to work with 50k lines of tedious changing and testing. I work slowly for that reason, careful to avoid typos. When I'm done we will give it to a team of skilled python coders who will rewrite and refactor it so it's nice and modular. It's worth noting that we are working with a strong coder right now who is doing some c++ and GUI work. So we are in the process of building up our team now that things are going well.

Hmm good question. Well I run RPC with the markets client using python and bitcoins authserviceproxy library and it works just fine. I'm not sure why you would get a blank response. I assume your RPC password and user and server=1 and rpcport are all correct in your config? If you run the markets wallet, it stores the data directory local to c:\bitbay\bitbaydata and if you run the QT it stores it in appdata. We will take a look at it and see if there is any reason for this.

Also any reason you aren't using the standard RPC port of 19915?

Early supporter of this coin as far as minor investor but I have to admit I haven't used the site yet.  I am a serious eBayer with the same account since 1998 and thousands of sales there.  If the BitBay experience could be the same kind of experience as eBay it would be awesome.  Any thoughts on this?

That is where we are headed. However remember this is like a combination of local bitcoins, craigs list, alibaba, ebay, freelancer, barteronly all in one! It's because of the versatility of the unbreakable contracts. The advantage we have over ebay is no fees, no escrow, etc.

The drawback for now is it's desktop software but we are very interested in a web interface. This requires a rewrite of Halo in JavaScript. With the continued success of the coin it's becoming more realistic.

The desktop software itself is pretty powerful the templates are meant to be as few clicks as possible. Also someone has worked on a bitmessage relay server to speed up messaging. And someone also built some electrumx nodes for fast connection to the network. So the user experience will continue to improve.

I'm almost done with my next template which will make it more user friendly to buy/sell. It has a shipping calculator (only useful for estimating larger packages). It also has auctions and even reverse auctions (where sellers bid for buyers). And so forth.

Hi, http method should be written in upper case:

-X POST

(-x post will not work)

Do we have any javascript people on the team now?

As I remember, bitbay hired new PR member(s) something like 2 months ago.

Are they still active and working?
If yes, can we know their current planned activities?

[cr197]

Great read on XRP. While they are busy trying to streamline the middleman process for banks and forex and rely on banks to accept them as a service.
We are busy streamlining  the removal of the middleman even for international trade and don't rely on banks and forex brokers to accept us. The demand for companies to be able to profit more from international trading and treasury hedging, in my opinion, has much more appeal in regards to risk of adoption as compared to Ripples potential.

Yes, they are active and working. A lot of their work is directly related to our release schedule. We are just finishing the details on that.
