Alright everybody, James is making real progress and will continue to do so on the technical advancement of BTCD.

I would like to ask the communities support in ramping up marketing activities.  

We need people to help spread the word.  Get on social media, re-tweet our messages.  Let crypto oriented news outlets know about our progress.

Some basic things that we should probably think about doing:

-contact more media outlets (we need to get the word out about our developments)

-create a more professional looking website (e.g. Blackoin's site is a nice example)

-improve the log

-flashy GUI for the wallet

Whatever else you guys can think of!

I'm not worried about the current price, smart money is getting in on the ground floor and with what we have planned, BTCD will stand apart from all other coins. 

Let's get the discussion started now!





I can work on the website as soon as i finish my curent project(should be friday at most)

Thanks ICT,

Keep us posted on any developments or if you need anything.

Any initial ideas on how you think the site should look?  Do you have any favorite coin sites you would like to model our site after?

@James  Is there anything in particular our website should include that might fit in with our future tech developments?
Yes, I think we can put the HTML wallet right on the website. The HTML does local signing, so if we had the webpage version connect to a public server, people could actually do some stuff without even downloading anything
Fancy sites are OK, but why not make it an active site. A functional site where people can check acct balances, maybe even do some trading. Not sure of all the possibilities yet

We need HTML5 guy

Do you mean like online wallet?
If you can call something that does trades, bets, privateSends, etc. a wallet, then yes, but we probably need a much better name than "wallet"
Hopefully some marketing types will chime in with the killer name
That kind of web app will need time to be fully developed but it can be done Smiley
The NXT web wallet already does 90%+ of what we need, so more enhancing it than anything else

Lol...kinda like the "phone" we carry around nowadays.  It's not really a phone anymore.  With what we're developing a wallet will no longer just be a wallet, but much more!

For GUI I want to have HTML5 web based GUI like NXT has.
It is really cool

I was asked if I will do a twitter page
I responded I wasnt a bird

But it seems these things are popular.
It is a good thing noashh setup an automated posting to various sites!

Still no solid idea my mind is somewhere else, i do like the blackcoin site, but as this is unique coin with unique features we need unique web presentation, i am pritty confident in my skills so if anyone have some idea or suggestion please let me know i am always open for briliant ideas

Admiration arises every time when i read Jame's post despite my complete incomprehension of what he said .  Grin
All this stuff boils down to 1's and 0's in the right place.
For example to do a multisig transaction, you need to pass in the hexcodes that get interpreted by the Forth like language built into the coin. The problem is that BTCD doesnt give you the hexcodes, but rather the assembly code. This is actually not so bad an idea as bitcoin gives both and it really chews up a lot of extra space. The downside is that I have to convert from assembler to hex, so I just did a hardcoded "assembler" that only does this one thing for the one type of tx that I need. I can always add support for more if required, but for now I want to see a withdraw work!

Code:
int32_t add_opcode(char *hex,int32_t offset,int32_t opcode)
{
    hex[offset + 0] = hexbyte((opcode >> 4) & 0xf);
    hex[offset + 1] = hexbyte(opcode & 0xf);
    return(offset+2);
}

int32_t convert_to_bitcoinhex(char *scriptasm)
{
#define OP_HASH160_OPCODE 0xa9
#define OP_PUSHDATA1 0x4c
#define OP_EQUAL_OPCODE 0x87
    //"asm" : "OP_HASH160 db7f9942da71fd7a28f4a4b2e8c51347240b9e2d OP_EQUAL",
    char *hex;
    int32_t middlelen,offset,len,OP_HASH160_len,OP_EQUAL_len;
    len = (int32_t)strlen(scriptasm);
    // worlds most silly assembler!
    OP_HASH160_len = strlen("OP_HASH160");
    OP_EQUAL_len = strlen("OP_EQUAL");
    if ( strncmp(scriptasm,"OP_HASH160",OP_HASH160_len) == 0 && strncmp(scriptasm+len-OP_EQUAL_len,"OP_EQUAL",OP_EQUAL_len) == 0 )
    {
        hex = calloc(1,len+1);
        offset = 0;
        offset = add_opcode(hex,offset,OP_HASH160_OPCODE);
        offset = add_opcode(hex,offset,OP_PUSHDATA1);
        middlelen = len - OP_HASH160_len - OP_EQUAL_len - 2;
        offset = add_opcode(hex,offset,middlelen/2);
        memcpy(hex+6,scriptasm+OP_HASH160_len+1,middlelen);
        hex[6+middlelen] = hexbyte((OP_EQUAL_OPCODE >> 4) & 0xf);
        hex[6+middlelen+1] = hexbyte(OP_EQUAL_OPCODE & 0xf);
        hex[6+middlelen+2] = 0;
        printf("(%s) -> (%s)\n",scriptasm,hex);
        strcpy(scriptasm,hex);
        free(hex);
        return((int32_t)(2+middlelen+2));
    }
    else
    {
       // printf("cant assembly anything but OP_HASH160 + + OP_EQUAL (%s)\n",scriptasm);
    }
    return(-1);
}

So unfortunately all the C code is probably incomprehensible to most, but all it does is:
(OP_HASH160 db7f9942da71fd7a28f4a4b2e8c51347240b9e2d OP_EQUAL) -> (a94c14db7f9942da71fd7a28f4a4b2e8c51347240b9e2d87)

And with this conversion, I am ready to see if the withdraw tx gets the proper handling. As expected the part of asset xfer back to MGW worked fine, so once I can get the rawbytes right, we could see a full loop of BTCD -> asset -> BTCD

Well today I deleted a wallet with almost all of my coins in, having just sent them locally from bittrex.  No I didn't have a backup (I had only just downloaded the wallet), no it isn't in my recycle bin, yes it was a lot of coins.  So there are now even less available!

I managed to snag a few k more around 37k-38k satoshis which I think is still a ridiculously low price, so hopefully I'll make back my losses.

On another note, this is one of the strangest coin launches I've experienced, with no major pump and dump, an incredibly small sell book, and PoW phase already over.  The dev team is looking good, and if the promised features arrive, a 10-20 times price increase within weeks/months seems inevitable, if not more.  Interesting times!

  

try some backup softwares , i think it could work

LOL yeah I know.  I'm certainly not new to this game.   I have a machine that I use only for coin storage (mostly offline).  I deleted an old coin folder that I no longer use and must have selected more than one folder by mistake.  poof, gone.  I had only just closed the wallet to encrypt it otherwise the delete would have failed.  oh well.

Download Recuva. It's free and it can do a deep scan. Works like a charm and easy to use. I recommend it all the time. Good luck to you!
