Topic: 20 BTC bounty for first AT *atomic cross-chain transfer* with Script clone - page 5. (Read 20174 times)

Right now Qora is closed source. Of course it will have to be open to Ian in order for him to do the Qora AT work, but I wouldn't assume he'd be against closed source. Ian, what do you say?

Should go without saying, but on a sad note:
You may want to specify 'open source'.
There seems to be a disgraceful movement towards closed source in some communities.
Regardless, you hold the strings to the purse (and the ultimate decision) but I thought it might bear mentioning.

Sorry I don't use Twitter but feel free to do so yourself.

Dzimbeck and BitHalo have something like that for release soon. you should tweet this to him 

Yes Nxt-to-Qora would of course be possible (assuming Nxt AT goes to *mainnet*) but understand that the bounty itself is only being offered for a Qora to a Bitcoin/Litecoin clone succeeding in performing an atomic cross-chain transfer/transaction via AT between them (as Qora have said they will take AT to *mainnet* first and I then want to see a "mainnet" version of a Bitcoin/Litecoin clone also).

Keeps those wheels in your head rolling - there are likely to be more bounties down the track!

I sooo want to go for this, but I don't think I have the time to start a project yet.

I've not dug into the AT code (yet), are Nxt-to-Qora transactions as plausible as btc-to-qora AT transactions?  I had an idea for an asset based project and this could help me immensely.

Hmm... The wheels in my head are rolling...

Note that this bounty is going to be added to (by myself if no-one else) as I am very keen to see this happen.

I have already been contacted by a few interested devs so those *waiting for the bounty to increase* might want to at least "get in contact" so they will still have a "chance at the bounty".

In any case *everybody wins* if AT appears on multiple chains as it means all those blockchains will be able to do things like "lotteries" and "auctions" as well as "atomic cross-chain transactions".

I reformatted the OP and made it clear that at least the AT and AT API part must be open source and that my judgement is final but I won't be changing it much again (so the *rules won't be changed from this point on*) apart from to fix any typos or clarify anything that is ambiguous.

To win: Be the first Script (i.e. Bitcoin or Litecoin) clone to implement a *working version* of AT on mainnet which will be used to
perform a successful "atomic cross chain transfer" with Qora (which will be implementing AT soon).

This will need to be performed within 1 month of Qora going live with AT (and if that doesn't happen within 3 months then
this bounty will be called off).

I created AT (http://ciyam.org/at) in order to allow any blockchain to have "Turing complete" txs easily added and it will soon be appearing
on some non-Bitcoin based blockchains, however, one of the *killer apps* for AT (atomic cross-chain transfer - at least IMO) really needs to
work with Bitcoin/Litecoin clones as soon as possible (and down the track there might be bounties offered for other blockchain variations).

I am not really concerned if the coin is *popular* (use of some low value coin is okay as long as the network is stable enough to achieve the
desrired result) but it must be using its *mainnet* and it must successfully accomplish an "atomic cross chain transfer" between itself and Qora
using AT.

In order to help *get the ball rolling* I've already outlined a fairly simple approach that could be used to get AT working from Script
(http://ciyam.org/at/at_script.html) and I will offer my personal assistance (with technical questions) free of charge (assuming I have
the available time).

Note that the code for the AT and AT API implementation must be "open source" using the MIT license (even if the rest of the code is not) and the final
say over whether the result to collect the bounty has been achieved will be up to myself.

If others want to add to this bounty then please send your BTC donation to the above address (note the following signed message to prove
that I own it and the GPG sig for this announcement).
