Topic: [ANN] CIYAM Open - Put your "dibs" on tasks for BTC! (Read 13789 times)

wow nice :-  i'll look from time to time if they will offer a graphic task also

I'd like to welcome aboard the WebCoinKit project http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20140414134634671001&ident=M100V137&chksum=8982ef7f and wish @killerstorm all the best with the project.

Also for those who may not already be aware http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20140220164742097000&ident=M100V137&chksum=065ecf7d a project to create "Turing complete" transactions for Nxt and is well underway.

Password Security Upgrade - Step 2 (final)

Okay so the upgrade has now been completed. If you see the message "This UI is out of date - please refresh your browser page." then you need to force a page refresh.

If you find that you can no longer log in then PM me.

Must have read my mind - actually what I've done is now put a version # in the .js file that can be checked on the server side.

If that's the case, I'd suggest putting a version number on it like ciyam_interface_v2.js so that people are less likely to have caching issues.

Password Security Upgrade - Step 1

For those users who have "password" accounts (i.e. you use Standard or Client Crypto to sign in) you will need to sign in and click a link (such as your own user name) sometime in the next week to be sure that your current password will still work after a security upgrade is implemented (the upgrade changes your password hash).

There has been no security compromise (so no need to panic about your password hash being leaked) but instead this is just a "hardening" of the current password security (more rounds and future DB password encryption bumped up from AES128 to AES256). It is also being used as an experiment to see how smoothly such changes can be rolled out.

If you haven't changed your password since you signed up or are using OpenID then there is no need for you to do anything.

Once the actual security upgrade has been performed (I will post when this has occurred) then you'll need to refresh the webpage (as ciyam_interface.js needs to be updated) and after you successfully then sign in you might want to use the Change Password dialog (even if keeping the same password) to force the DB encryption improvement.

Its a pleasure to work with CIYAM Open and BTW the new clean minimal design is really good - i like

CIYAM is one of the most revolutionary ideas I've seen in the Bitcoin space and I'd highly recommend checking it out.

wow big changes, Welcome to the modern era!

New design now completed!


Thanks to the vision of Enej Pungerčar and the efforts of the CIYAM Developers we now have a new look which we think everyone will find much easier on the eyes.

It starts from http://ciyam.org and extends from there into CIYAM Open where you'll find a Sign In/Up that supports either OpenID, Standard (SSL) or our own Client Crypto (which requires GPG for signing up).

Wow - seems like someone "got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning" - understand that the logo was created according my specific instructions after going through quite a few other ideas and quite a lot of different iterations.

You also don't understand that in fact the designer who came up with the original idea for this logo was in fact Enej Pungercar (the guy who designed BitStamp).

Also understand I don't do "bounties" as I don't believe in people wasting their time for zero reward in competition against others.

Yes it *looks* like a font - but I can assure you that it isn't and although initially I had thought I wanted something that looked more "logoish" I ended up coming to the conclusion that this was indeed what I preferred.

And finally anyone on this forum that wants to work for Bitcoins is more than welcome to sign up.

Very nice looking, for anyone interested in that close look

Congratulations to Jan Tenner on completing the CIYAM logo (http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20130131141145457000&ident=M100V131&chksum=3607d735).

The result looks at first glance as though it might be just a great font choice (clean and comfortable on the eyes) but if you take the time to look at it closely you will end up working out that it matches no existing font and is instead a minimalist work of precise angles, curves and spacing.

Work on the new design is progressing well and we are expecting to go live with the new look by October 1st.

The Moneychanger tasks have all been re-opened but before others create bids they should consider that although once your bid has been accepted you are not competing with any other developer you are competing against the clock with the Delivery date and time that you provided.

Also if your bid ends up being rejected due to not having a deliverable or only having partially completed it you will end up losing Project Skill points.

So carefully consider a task before "trying to get dibs on it" and only bid on tasks that you are sure you can complete and the Delivery date and time should be carefully chosen (hint: don't just use the default value).

Hmm... haven't heard of that occurring before - but I was just rolling out changes so it could possibly be due to that. Please try it again now.


Actually if you are referring to the "Home Page Implementation" task unfortunately I have already agreed to let another contributor work on that (their bid hasn't been created yet as I only just opened up the task).

There will be other upcoming tasks for those with HTML/CSS skills so please check for such tasks in the near future (very likely to be in either September or October depending on how long it takes for the "Home Page Implementation" to be completed).

Sorry, yeah I have not been using tormail lately, after its problems.

I am having some problems creating a bid on the CIYAM project.  Whenever I try to create a bid, it just takes me back to the forum page.

Also, I was going to do the HTML and CSS task, but I don't know where to find the design markup of the site.

What's the time?

Unfortunately what seems like a very simple question can become rather tricky when you start to consider "daylight savings" adjustments that are made twice a year in many countries.

CIYAM Open can tell your current UTC offset through .js (and does) but doing this is not always what a user might want. For a start there is the problem of specifying future date and times (as they may occur after a transition in or out of daylight savings) and then there is also the fact that you may actually be using a computer that is not your own or your computer might have temporarily changed timezone due to being on a trip.

To help make this less of a problem you can now select a Timezone (from your user settings which you find by clicking on your username towards to the top right when you are logged in) and whether or not you want to use daylight savings.

The time (which now appears towards the top left of the screen when you are logged in) will then change according to the selected timezone and will be followed by the commonly used abbreviation (such as EST for Eastern Standard Time or EDT for Eastern Daylight Time).

After that you don't need to think about what date and time it will be in the future - it will be simply what you select (any adjustment required for DST will happen under the covers).

Your PGP/GPG public key *contains* an email address (although it may not be a real one) - so an email should have been sent to whatever email address is in your PGP/GPG public key (in this case it was a tormail.org address - could the recent problems with tormail be the issue?)


The original username and password would be displayed only if the original PGP/GPG public was used. If you could contact me via PM then I will sort this out for you.

Also please note the user names are case sensitive in CIYAM Open (so if you signed up as Sothh you cannot login using sothh as your user id).

BTW - I just tested creating a new anonymous account with no difficulty at all so I am not sure what has happened in this case.

Hey,

I am unable to create an account, for some reason.  When I first tried to sign up, I entered a username and my pgp key, and the page said it had sent me an email, but I never entered my email address .

Then I used the annon key, and a different user name, and I decrypted the username and password, but the username is my old username, and the password does not work.  (For either user names.)

A lot of work is going on "underneath the covers" - support for international time zones will be rolled out shortly (making it easy for a project manager to correctly set their due date and times even with "daylight savings").

Further work on the UI is also underway - a new look and feel can be expected before the end of the year.
