we're waiting Edric upgrade of the code, and then restart with marketing
Hey guys, I came to give ya'll an update.. I'm so sorry for taking so long, in the middle of everything some (very tricky) personal stuff has come up so I'm dealing with that as well. If you knew every detail, you wouldn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but all that aside, its more of a matter of me being way too loyal for my own good and possibly too liberal with handing out second chances.. Anyway, enough of that, no matter the outcome I'll invariably be doing my usual thing, I'm just really kicking myself for taking so long because Bird really needs this update and some publicity. I didn't even notice until today that it got delisted from c-cex, what a bummer. There's way worse coins on there that haven't gotten the axe yet, I guess I kinda feel partly responsible because if I had known I probably would have begged for a reprieve or something XD
I glanced over a previous post talking about a block explorer... Ubuntu or Debian is probably the best choice to run it on, and as for the software, I cannot say right off the top of my head which one has the best features and is easiest to setup/maintain, but in my Github trawlings I probably have forked every one in existence, so I'll have a look at some point and try to get you pointed in the right direction. I will do the setup/maint for you if you can throw a few bucks my way, I really hate saying stuff like that, as I really enjoy helping everyone I can, but if I remember correctly, it costs money to properly maintain and entertain a wife (especially one that requires lots of medication to keep from breaking the house), and I think I have one again :b
Tomorrow morning/evening I'm going once more into the fray, not absolutely sure what I have so far is on the right track, even close, idk.. Have a couple other devs I'm going to be talking to as well as comparing the code of a few other coins. Apparently enough, Birdcoin isn't the only one with this same problem (block size issues), I just need to investigate a little deeper and make sure I get it right. I will admit that even though I am a programmer, I haven't bothered with much C++ until this year so I'm having to familiarize myself with it as I go along, which does slow things down, but makes it fun for me. Good news though, we'll have a proper release when finished, as I can build cli and GUI wallets on all PC platforms including OS X, I won't even elaborate on how long I've been trying to get that working properly in a VM.
Again, my deepest apologies for being so slow, it's a one man show on my end, plus every time I wake up there's some sort of frustrating problem needing immediate attention (Murphy's Law, my favorite), but hey, its not like I had anything important to do, right? lol. You guys are awesome though, I appreciate your patience and your support, coins live and die by their users and developers, and while we're a small bunch, dedication goes a long way, so keep it up
PS Kinda a rock and a hard place right now, as I'd love to get into another exchange, but the technical issues could possibly put them off or frustrate users or exchange sysops. Next time I report back, it won't be with excuses, it'll be with binaries XD
