That's basically what I did, but I used python to make the darkcoind calls:



Yes, I thought so.  Smiley
Your app looks more and more awesome BTW.

There is QT Creator a similar thing to visual basic. You could definitely make the wallet look like those screen shots using it.

Here's a link to a program written in QT. (just like the darkcoin wallet) https://amarok.kde.org/en/screenshots

Edit Edit: Here is the showcase for QT developed apps/gui's http://showroom.qt-project.org/

Edit: Mmmm donuts...

QT4 is going to struggle slightly with the some bits of the wallet design as it stands as posted above, but you could get pretty close. And QT designer is only like Visual Basic in that it produces truly horrible code - although actually it just produces XML, which when run through your UIC script produces truly horrible code.

It's not the QT part that's difficult though, it's the C++ re-write of the existing wallet, which is going to be fairly major and needs someone pretty experienced.

I'm actually hoping Evan and the team get stuck into Electrum-DRK first, it fits better with the whole MN system.

I am an expert in creating Adobe Air/Actionscript Apps (also as standalone EXE/app that don't need to download any plugin) for windows and mac. (unfortunately not for linux (anymore) although there is a deprecated linux version for air available that is not being developped anymore: http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/install-air-2-64-bit.html).
I have 10 years experience.

What I could do (although I don't know if this is reasonable security wise) is to create an app that communicates with the darkcoind (darkcoind runs in the background as service).
So basically it will be like a frontend that when started, looks if the darkcoind is active, and if not starts it, and then makes API calls to it, and listens.

That's why I asked for a client API call list yesterday: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8933337

If the Darkcoin GUI is ready, I could create something like this pretty fast, I will probably not need more than a full weeks work for that.

Should I give it a try?
The awesome thing about that would be that I don't need to touch/change the darkcoind at all. It would do all darkcoin related things as it already does so well.
So we don't have to debug two versions of the darkcoin software, just the darkcoind and the frontend separately.

I have already done a few experiments with different coins over the past 2 years, namely namecoin.

If the Darkcoin GUI is ready, I could create something like this pretty fast, I will probably not need more than a full weeks work for that. (40-50 hours)

Lol that's a pretty good summary.

Actually I got confused between QT designer and QT creator, but the point stands...  Tongue

Sh**t. Just read Paypal going full throttle into Bitcoin !!!!!!!!!!

Perfect storm on the horizon:

 - Paypal
 - Winklevoss ETF completing regulatory transition towards or around the end of the year
 - Bitcoin has got through its "right-of-passage" phase (hammered by the media, hammered by hackers, hammered by competition - completely unscathed)
 - World Fiat currencies are reaching their sellby date due to massive debt overburdening = Japan, US, UK
 - Stockmarket 1-month MACD's crossing to the downside for the first time since 2012
 - Spanish Government has just recognised Bitcoin as an electronic payment system
 - China-Russia axis getting ready to dump US TB's, all safety lights for them doing this now turning green due to them being bloated on Gold
 - Eurozone deflation: Mario Draghi says Eurozone recovery "run out of momentum" (if that's what he's saying in public then....  Shocked )
 - Chinese Bitcoin ATM's commencing rollout with 2-way trading (fiat to BTC, BTC to fiat)

Make no mistake: A few alts will benefit HUGELY from a major Bitcoin revaluation and DRK's got its act in gear timed to perfection in order to be one of them.

Strap yersells in !


When paypal (and therefore ebay) start accepting BTC fully, Amazon will be next, and fast. Then the avalanche.

I'm not sure Russia/China will be dumping $ bonds just yet though unless the Obama's warmongering puppet masters push them one step too far - they have the US by the balls and have only just started squeezing, when they've crushed 'em to paste, then it's going to rain screaming Western banksters. Scraping dead suits off the pavement will be a whole new job sector.  Cool

Ultimately, energy is king, and the Rockerfellers are getting out of oil - wonder why eh?

Mind you, ebola could get us all first. Interesting times...

If there's anyone on here that's motivated and knowledgeable for this stuff I'd say it's you georgem. You've demonstrated a continuous capacity to produce content and you appear to have pretty good knowledge on this stuff (we just don't want any titty/bum stuff included in the UI...Ha!)

Not sure if you're aware (as you haven't referenced this) but BCT user DRKLord had done a huge amount of work on a new wallet UI and it was looking absolutely tremendous. Unfortunately (I believe) he became ill so hasn't been around for a couple of months now. Here's oen of his many postings showing what he's been producing.


Yes, I heard about DRKLord, any news about his condition?

If I am not mistaken, DRKLord is not the creator of these graphics (he's more like the project coordinator), but that there is a whole team behind it, and in particular a user named raze ?

https://darkcointalk.org/threads/enhanced-darkcoin-wallet-ui.1705/


I'm not sure what's happened with him. Very unfortunate as it was really moving along and looked like we'd have that interface very soon. Not sure what his role specifically is/was compared to raze. Can someone else fill us in?

I created all the GUI graphics with a graphic designer that works with me in real life, I still have all we did.  We didnt get to the coding part because when we finally chose the design and were ready to split it up into elements DRKLord went missing. Nevertheless, we still have all that good work we did and the project is alive, when the official dev team has some time to dedicate to it, it will be retaken. If we do get a new QT developer before that, then even better.

I will PM you all the artwork we have so far tomorrow when I am in the office and you take it from there, this is an open source project we need everybody's input.

Thanks, that would be so awesome, I am wetting myself right now, out of sheer joy.  Smiley



It's excellent. Now for the Krispy Kreeme version...

Well... there you go.

EDIT: wait, wetting myself is not the right translation of what I wanted to say... well, let's LMAO about that.  Cheesy

On a second though, that might be seen as bribing them. Better just pay their fees and order a coverage on Darkcoin.

Well 5 DRK is about 15 USD I dont think you can bribe people with that, I was thinking techcrunch, wired.com,  GoCoin executives, Bitpay executives, all relevant payment processor executives, even Richard Branson if you have his address. These are busy people but maybe if we sent them a nice presentation on Darkcoin and Darksend, a wallet and a few coins maybe they take the time to play with it and see how a Darksend transaction looks like. We have nothing to loose if anyone from the mailing list replies we are already winning.

I've been tweeting Formula One drivers links to DRK because they are on my twitter feed and I was bored one night, you never know  Tongue

I get only 4,1 MH/s for my 280x and 4,6 MH/s for 290 and other ppl has 50% more = 50% more payout. Could someone point me which kernels should I use to mine with that speed ? It cant be so unfair  Undecided

Over 5MH/s on 290..

and other ppl has 8MH/s for 290x and ~6,5MH/s for 280x..

They are lying...

On the 290x and 290, you can reduce power consumption by 35% and only lose 5% performance, otherwise the power bill is $$$ on those cards.

Any chance creating an official GUI that is not just for the new wallet?

I would not be in need of graphics like those curvy arrows in the background, etc... they are specifically part of the Darkcoin Foundation CD,
I am talking more about plain elements like buttons, checkboxes, textfields, dropdown menues, arrows, different background regions, scrollbars, etc... also a colorpalette and fonts.

I want my apps to look darkcoiny, but not be mistaken with the official darkcoin stuff.
