I think you can raise some BTC via IPO as alt coins and use these coins to hire some guys to do this, this is an amazing project, if more guys involve in this project, it will be great.

I am not interested in being involved with IPOs (far too many issues with doing those).

I am talking about CIYAM Safe, if I want to get involved into this project, how can I achieve it.

I guess that depends upon what your skills are and what you have in mind for the project.

It is open source and on github (check http://ciyam.org for the link) and it is fully functional already but is not "user friendly" (as I am the kind of person that loves using a console rather than playing with GUI).

So I would guess finding a coder to improve the "user experience" would probably be the main priority.

Is there IPO of this project, just like altcoins.

Are you talking about the CIYAM Safe or did you just post in the wrong topic?

What's CIYAM and what issue it will solve?

I have updated the CIYAM Safe "appliance" with some improvements to the scripts (you can now use either the camera or an image file as the unsigned transaction source) and the docco per suggestions made in this thread.

And for those who might have noticed another thread that I started a bit earlier - be warned that working with raw transactions can be an expensive excercise if you screw up.

Trying it for the third time!

Hey I'll pass on the bounty!

Just want to see if I can get this working

Thanks!

If on linux you can use the command dd after you unpacked it:

dd if=CIYAM_Safe.i686-0.0.85.raw of=/dev/sdb

Here if means input file and of output file, but DONT copy paste a dd command, its very important that the of part is correct. In this case this is my usbdrive. ALWAYS check before so that it wont overwrite your harddrive or SSD.

I usually test dd first, I took a new 8GB drive and it worked.

Check md5
md5sum (linux command) at the file gave me, 78a0a13cb48b29cb6ccdc22a425b6e44 CIYAM_Safe.i686-0.0.85.raw

Wish I could be of more help - did you check the MD5 checksum (I think SUSE Studio can show you that)?

That's very kind - and I am happy to have that 2 BTC put towards the Arch Linux version.

No problem!

Maybe I'll wait and try that.

Thanks for the effort!

I've got nothing to do right now, so I'll start work on working on a quick set up so you can get a taster to decide if it's some thing you want.
It wouldn't be difficult at all; it just requires 'unpacking' the squash filesytem, updating your tools, and re-squashing, I'll give you a full write up on it if need be.

Great - as BCB has graciously decided to pass on the 2 BTC it will be awarded to this task.

And again thanks to all who have helped out - this topic itself has been a test of the "work model" that CIYAM has been developing and I think it's turned out pretty well.

I'm copying http://susestudio.com/a/kp8B3G/ciyam-safe to a 4GB drive using Image Writer and I'm not able to get it to boot??

Am I missing a step?

Nope - that should work fine - corrupted image perhaps?

If you ever need a hand, let me know.
I could set you up with a smooth running Arch Linux based version in a couple of hours.

That would be much appreciated as I would be happy to keep a much smaller distro as a download from ciyam.org - if possible I would also want instructions on how to go about rebuilding the distro myself if I wanted to make changes to the CIYAM Safe tools - would that be very difficult?

+1. If you model it off Puppy Linux, it'll be really tiny.

Actually I did start with Puppy but it all just got too hard trying to work out how to set it up (not being familiar with creating distros and having SSH only "online" access to Linux) so I went the SUSE Studio path for the convenience.

As stated I am willing to create a project on CIYAM Open for further work on this and to even donate some BTC towards it but I am far too busy with other things to spend more time on this "side project" (although the disto is bloated and the UI is clumsy it gets the job done which is all I need for CIYAM Open to safely handle its BTC).

Ok, I'm not too sure if I've got this right (My BTC address is in my sig):
The transaction http://blockchain.info/address/1DTtB3FgCsnEfjfBsivg2JNAYyzhxsgdxa

Private key for 1DTtB3FgCsnEfjfBsivg2JNAYyzhxsgdxa is 5JtayZzciFXqPcjLGsBxSTs6iQcneTDr6n3KMuVkmPwTBKsv53D.

2 BTC should be on its way to 1GEEKqKUf4WwdsQuRd3wjHVYHA8NxUg1rU (txid c1a7964c7016536e4c9e6f61ad31e2b7b34f53a867874a02c755ac1601fde3a0).

Got it, thanks.

It's a nice project, one thing though, why is the size of the distro. so large considering there are so few packages in it?
I've created a few custom Linux distros. in the past and, if using a lightweight desktop environment, something like this would normally come in at around 250-300MB.
