Topic: [Closed] Looking for a several users to mediate during Rein's alpha (Read 1314 times)

Nice job...looks like a fee market is forming PM me your address.

I'm ready!

Thank you!

I should be active in 1 or 2 days.



Nothing defined: I hoped to use a decentralized version of [lots of websites].

Only one: I have some skills in software development, but I'm not a professional programmer, so I considered it over my limits.

Application accepted! Going to close this now, though so you are the last.

If you'd care to, I would like to hear about what you were thinking about so long ago and if there were any snags that stopped you from pursuing it then.

I would be glad to apply for 0.03 BTC; are you still looking for other mediators?

I've just discovered this project and I'm very excited: I dreamed something similar years ago, and now I find a working prototype!

Ciao!

At least for the first identity a file called backup-rein.json is created but that was one of the first things I built. It's probably better to backup the file ~/.rein/local.db as that's where all client-side information is stored.

Locked in or indeterminate. In order to allow replacement, a client needs to be able to put enrollments in time-order. Since there is no time in the enrollment and a timestamp can't be trusted, it's not in there yet. Later, we'll include a block hash and the Causeway servers will be able to help provide that by having a local copy of Core running or the option for python-rein to talk to a local Bitcoin Core node would be even better.

I thought I fixed this but just saw your pull request. It probably makes sense to merge that, do testing and tag a second alpha this weekend since there have been some other improvements like a testnet mode.

This is just terminal behavior. I just hit Ctrl-C if I run into any problems like that.

To do this, you'd need to fire up an sqlite3 client.
Then find the document you want to remove with
The output would show you something like
And you could use the number where the 49 is (before the document type which is in this case an enrollment) in the following command.
Before you attempt this, backup that local.db file in case anything goes wrong.
I guess this is a feature request!

Yeah, very inventive . I'm not sure whether this should be fixed.

This is correct. Congratulations and thank you for being the first!

Huh, looks like I'm the only mediator. It wasn't really that hard to set up at all.

---

To recover an account is it as easy as running setup again with the same address/keys or are there any other critical files saved locally to backup?

Is it possible to change the mediator fee after setup or is it locked in, for the time being?

Running `rein resolve/workerdispute/creatordispute` should exit after printing "None found" skipping the prompt to quit, in the way `rein accept/bid/deliver` already do.

Backspace doesn't seem to behave properly displaying `^H` instead, unless my terminal is acting up... If it's a known issue I'm not going to bother explaining, if it's questionable let me know and I'll detail it further.

If I create a job and saved the file locally is it possible to delete it and not sync it to the network?

I created a job, bid on it, but now `rein accept` doesn't show it. I'm the poster, bidder, and mediator, probably not ideal

Is it correct that I am both the only mediator and only job postings right now or am I not syncing properly?


Otherwise it looks like a cool project so far!

I agree that mediators should be trusted but you have to start somewhere. Right now there are no mediators so in the market, you have no competition. Actually I can't stop you from signing up to be one but I'm only considering to pay bid amounts if they have some rep.

If you want to be able to charge more for your mediation of jobs, you would probably want to prove that you are trusted by connecting your profile with your trusted ID on other platforms. Keybase shows how this is done. Post signed statement to BitcoinTalk claiming that "you're such and such user on Rein and TheGrimm on BitcoinTalk". This would be signed by your Rein master address and as long as that post is up somewhere the link is established.

I think a lot of reputation stuff can be in the Rein client python-rein but it'll take some time.

Ok I am interested and I will have a go at it tomorrow, the only thing that has me peeved is having to install bitcoin core :-/, but no worries if you approve me for this I will do a fresh install from a VPS and will provide a more in dept install guide seem this does seem like a pretty neat idea.

But as others mentioned, shouldn't the mediator be trusted first? maybe I missed a post - I am half asleep .

Yes, mediators get their percentage of each job for which they are chosen even in the alpha. While the software is immature, I fully intend to get real economic activity running through it asap. If you put in a fee of 5% and I choose you on a 0.25 btc job, you'd get 0.0125 btc and likely the most you'll have to do is sign the transaction paying yourself. Worst case you have to investigate then build and sign the transaction paying the winning party(ies).

I'm running the first two servers and another couple would be great! The server doesn't have any payment processing built in yet but that will come so it's charity (or because you will extract some value from the platform) until then. Here's the best server setup doc so far https://github.com/ReinProject/causeway/blob/master/doc/server_setup.md

Hi there,

This sounds like a interesting project, I am truly interested, I understand this is basically in "alpha" mode but do mediator get paid in bitcoin for each "task" ? Also I can easily start up 10 vps with my cloud account, are you paying for servers deployed for this project too?

I can not do this RIGHT now but I can start tomorrow.

0.03BTC + whatever fees you might make seems not to have done it so I am now accepting bids. Previously approved users are welcome to submit bids as well.

Thank you Gildarts. You are approved.

I want to apply  

Kinda confuse what exactly i need to do for .03BTC  

Edit : After reading the Thread now i understand.

I want to do this if you accept ! i want people to use this.

Just posted this Setup Guide: https://github.com/ReinProject/python-rein/blob/master/doc/HOWTO-setup-rein.md

Approved. To you and anyone else who is getting started, please PM me or post here if you have any questions. I'm working on a text guide which will be quite comprehensive, and needs to be since generating some Bitcoin addresses securely and being able to get their private keys is necessary for the setup.

Reputation will come with time, which is why I want to get this going asap. The software is Python so should run on any platform. I've been developing it on Ubuntu and OS X so I can say it works on those at least.

I've been developing on Mac and Ubuntu about 50/50% of the time so I'm sure it works on OS X. Approved.

Thanks. Approved.

so a decentralized microhosting network will connect freelancers with clients,where freelancer can earn btc for their work.
