I saw a new opensource merchant API project for bitcoin released a few days ago but it is not really forkable right now because it relies on external block explorers not a local wallet. I would have forked it otherwise.

Does anyone here know about an opensource merchant APIs for bitcoin or similar coin. I'll port and host it if someone points me in the right direction.

Actually I sent BTC, lol. Thing is I have done several other donations in the past, often without posting here. I don't believe I need to always out myself as the one contributing, I just did it the last time because I wanted to put some weight behind my point that fairglu deserves his payment and this time because you really seem to like making Excel spreadsheets.

edit: ptman is the better person to answer that as he did the coding, but from what I remember it should work just fine if wrapped in an iframe, or be hosted as a static HTML file...

Thank you very much learminer for being generous towards the community! I received your 3M Karma donation. BTW, do you know how I can embed the game you are developing with ptman to this website? ---> http://easteagle13.wix.com/karma

Yes let's try and stay on track without resorting to comparing penis size shall we?

But I can tell you that in our conversations our own appetite for continuing to put up with this kind of nonsense is wearing thin as well.

No need to gee me. You have no idea how much destructive power I have and I am getting quite bored with you. I'd just like to go travel without shooting a lot of negative energy out in the universe. So ok... anyway... I am trying to help..... Back on track.

Gee do you mean these as found in net.ccp ?

Paste the domainname/ip address here so I know you are sincere. If you can't find it you don't need to talk about building wallets.

More "READY-FIRE-AIM" rhetoric...

YES we can AND that is something Andre, Perica and I have been discussing -- the idea of establishing multi-continent, redundant checkpointing nodes as well as the websites replication and redundancy.   They would run the EU servers and we would run the US infrastructure.

Trust me you WANT the wallets to be built by someone with good intentions.

Strength in Numbers Foundation has committed to doing source-code scanning (dynamic and static using a tool like HP's Fortify) for the wallets we will build.  Also malware scanning and digital signature services.

We would like to blend in the work that Clean Water Coin has recently done with its new wallet by adding a "Donation" tab and a nominal transaction that benefits the on-going support.  But that's up to the Board of Stakeholders to decide and approve.

Please start your work, the community will appreciate it.
Time to start with what Karma deserves to be.

Dave, let us know more about this when you have time please.

The __ONLY__ thing that karma needs is the hostname that has been put into the source-code that points to either a wallet or a seednode. Whoever controls that controls karma.

EVERYTHING ELSE CAN BE DONE BY ANYONE!!!! IF YOU HAVE SOME TECH/SERVICE JUST RUN IT!!!!! YOU DON'T NEED PERMISSION!!!!

*GASP* THERE CAN BE MORE THAN ONE MERCHANT API IMPLEMENTATION *GASP*

GO GO GO

@bitwho "what have you done for Karma" is a red herring, a distraction from unwelcome hard questions or criticism. Don't go down that route like kosmost did, it's a dead end. You really want to know what I have done? I've contributed several times to donation runs, as recently as the block explorer and - just today - to the API fund (hint @East, that was me). I've worked with ptman on the Karma game (good times). I've been an active, mostly positive and constructive community member. I've offered help on the karmadev subreddit and the Karmashares forums, no one requested it so far. There's probably more that slips my mind, but that's not the point. I've decided not to get involved directly in the current process on trello for personal reasons, but I still believe in the Karma idea as much as before. I'm offering my opion, no more no less, take it for what its worth.

Yes, it is extremely hard to get people to do anything for Karma, that's not a new problem. That happens when you ask people to do work for you for free. And now its even harder than ever because trust in the team has been severly damaged. Too many broken promises. Guilty by association I guess. The trust needs to be rebuilt before you can realistically expect much support. André, Perica and David coming in at this time offering help is pretty close to a best case scenario. We should embrace this opportunity and try to make the best out of it. A fresh start is needed, we need to stop being nostalgic for the "good kosmost"-days, get over the "bad-kosmost"-days and start a new era for Karma.

Of course in theory it is not unreasonable to ask help from the community, but you can't ask the community to shoulder everything either and certainly not at times like this. With almost any coin I know (that's worth following) the team is a core group of maybe 2-6 individuals who not only determine the direction of a coin, but also execute most of the development - without constantly asking the community to do that for them. The core development and services are almost always done by the coin developers.

The communities of those coins can trust this basic level of development and infrastructure to be provided for them. In contrast what remains of the Karma team hasn't even managed to take over all existing services from the previous team leader - after a month. If you want others to believe in this coin and dedicate their resources to it, you first need to demonstrate your ability and willingness to do the same. It is called leading by example.
