I am not going to be too much of a dick but you ket " 0.12561161 btc " for personal use? that's close to a $1000. With that money you can solidify your forum for the next 10 years and earn a thousand times more.
Also, the moment you implement a signature space, I will join your forum as well.
I have some dev skills, I'll be willing to lend a hand if you need it. But be warned, I criticize too much.

In that case that donation seems like a complete waste imo. You just put a little into the project and took the rest and poof? I guess at least you had the courtesy to let us know.. and since it was a donation from theymos idont think there's much to be said here.
If you are not going to devote time to this project then lock the thread. Unlock it again when you are available in the 'weeks to come.'


Wow, seriously dude?
Why are you so bitter in life?

Lulu is only 21, he discovered BTC a few months ago, he is not an early adopter, he probably has less than $1000 equivalent crypto.
He is probably/ maybe using the computer his parent bought him a few years ago.
he is doing this in his spare time after school / instead of going out with friends.

He has done a tremendous job implementing the very first public forum using new technology.
He has done it using his time, money and sweat. Whitout even the promise of a reward.

I don't know where you live, I don't know how much time lulu has spent yet on the forum (50h ? 100h ?) and on the Github.
But if he had spent 50h on it, then a $1000 reward is not that much. It is barely $20/h someone working as a checkout in a supermarket would have made the same amount of money.

As a matter of fact, for $1000 I would only expect a tech/dev/Web specialist to work for just 10h on a problem/website, especially if the things he is doing haven't been done before.

So stop being jealous. Just recognize that Lulu participation in helping the Epochtalk technology is worthwhile and if you feel you can do something better, faster do it and maybe Theymos will send you $ 2000. Who knows?

Theymos understood this and give me a reward enough to give him the incentive to carry on the development.
And it is probable that Lulu has actually saved the forum dozen if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in beta testing.
(how much do you think the people working on epochtalk are charging / h / week)

This was just my 2 cents  Wink

Hello,

I understand what you mean Cheesy

After it was never specified the purpose of this donation, so of this principle, I consider it important to keep a little for the forum ( At least 2 years without problem ), and the rest I consider to be able to use it as I want.

Currently, I do not even know if the forum will last so long, I hope it will last longer, but it's not over at all.

Otherwise, thank you for your proposal, for the moment I do not have much time to work on it, to see in the weeks to come Wink

See you soon Wink

Hello,

A little message to thank Theymos very much and his donation in BTC :

https://www.cryptos-currencies.com/threads/N7bCRMBcR92pmkJqmYmnVw/posts

In addition to that, I updated the forum to the latest version, and took the opportunity to include the changelog Wink

See you soon !

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain
<...>
@lulucrypto, the test site currently is not showing any stats anywhere, neither on a global scale such as https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats, nor on a personal scale such as the extinct general personal statistics (accessible from the user profile, but disabled since the last hack on the forum).

Any idea if there is a module or a parameter in Epochtalk that current may display this/any kind of statistics? Thanks.

I have seen a "posts over time" chart on an image here: http://epochtalk.org/index.html, as part of the profile information.

I find your lack of faith in Bitcoin disturbing.
Only russian, french, and arabic boards had been created. I guess adding boards for languages having special letters like Hebreu and Bengladesh...

I have not created a new section for each new language, but I have created an "Other language" section where everyone can come and test Epochtalk.
If there are many participants from a language that does not have its section, I will create it at that time.

Yes, I had an issue at first, by just because it the confirmation email ended up in my spam folder (which barely happens, so I was not on the lookout for).

Bugs (or improvements) should be placed on the github thread (https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk/issues) in order for them to be formerly tackled, although leaving an inventory here may also help avoiding redundancy reports.

It's indeed a good idea to test with languages using special letters. However, creating the boards are not much of a problem: as said it's quite easy, but then we need to find peopkle that are comfortable with these languages. It's already hard to find people speaking English on cryptos-currencies.com, so I believe it would be even harder with minor and difficult languages.

I can see two reasons for moving the forum:
1- Theymos started working on the new forum software since a long time (early 2013). At that time there was no upgraded versions of the forum's softwares. Spending a lot of money and time on it, we are still testing the epochtalk.
2- Vulnerability issue, as the forum DB has been hacked early in 2015, which required an urgent solution.
Read this:
The software is substantially complete. The main period of development was a while ago; the current work is mainly just maintenance & relatively minor improvements. Try running it yourself and you'll find that it's working, fast, and nearly feature-complete.

The things blocking a transition from the current software to the new software are:
 - There hasn't been enough testing. I think that immediately after transition, a variety of small missed features, bugs, and performance issues would crop up. As a result, if the transition happened now (which is technically possible!), I'd expect the post-transition user experience to be poor for months while these things are fixed, which I don't want.
 - I am the only bitcointalk.org sysadmin and on-demand programmer, and I'm used to the current software. Furthermore, I need to frequently make changes to the current software, but each change I make might require alterations to Epochtalk, which is problematic.
 - The current PHP software, while ugly and sub-optimal in many ways, performs well, especially since I have extensively modified the backend to add features and improve performance. So I don't feel much urgency.
 - The data-transition procedure still has a few known minor bugs.
 
We continue to work on these issues. I think that ultimately I may need to hire one or more full-time people, since a big problem is that the full transition is likely to create a ton of work which I won't be able to effectively handle alone.

The software is not vaporware (it's long existed in a runnable state, and is currently basically feature-complete), and is not abandoned (look at the git commit log). If anyone is unhappy with the progress, I invite them to take the Epochtalk code and create a competing forum with it; since they won't have to worry about the transition issues, they'd have a much easier time, and their testing will also end up helping us.

In short: If you want the software quicker, go run your own forum with it, and work to get any problems or missing features you find resolved via bug reports, etc. This would increase public interest, provide much-needed testing, and I might even hire you to work on bitcointalk.org when we're ready to do the final transition here.

I would like to suggest adding more boards for other languages to see how it works

Tell me which languages you want to be added. I have the opportunity to do this and will do it as soon as possible, it's not very complicated to do.

How about "Re-send Confirmation Email" link or button after the "account not confirmed" heads up notification?

After 30 hours (since this post), I still haven't received the confirmation email.
I checked every folder, still nothing; I double-check the registered email and it's correct.

A re-send button is a must as a solution to cases like this.

The actual forum software is smoothly running, and we are all satisfied with it. But it still has some lacks which aimed to be filled in the new software.
If you think the forum will be outly running with the new software and should be migrated to another existing one, please make a full description of your analysis and suggestions, then post it here (in this board).
Last note: the new software is yet in test stage and there is no real confirmation that the forum will migrate soon.

I already tried explaining the reason for sticking with SMF - users here are already familiar with it. If you move to a new system then everyone has to get used to how the new system works.

For example, there has been a request for a responsive/mobile-friendly layout. SMF 2.0.15 can do that with the Responsive Curve mod/theme and SMF 2.1 has that ability by default.

What benefits will this new software provide that an existing solution won't?

By checking the github repository, no one had reported this issue.
I registered two accounts without any delay with the email confirmation (i used protonmail for both of them). I suggest you to use a gmail account or yahoo...
It would be better if you report issues in GitHub: https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk/issues

Has anyone of you experienced a delay with the confirmation email?
I can't complete my registration due to the delayed email (it's been 30 minutes at the time of writing).
Yes, I've tried to look in Spam, Trash or Archive but there's nothing.

BTW, I used a non-gmail email account: [email protected] <-you can send spam here.
There's no "re-send confirmation email" button anywhere either.

Why not stick with this software? It works fine. Developing entirely new software is a bit overkill as the market is already flooded with software anyway (SMF, phpBB, Xenforo, Burning Board, IPB, vBulletin, etc.).

You clearly don't care about updating software anyway considering you've completely ignored the fact that SMF 2.0 has been out for years...

Hello,
I tried to use the new forum software few weeks ago.
I would like to suggest adding more boards for other languages to see how it works and if dev can add the systems implemented in the actual forum (trust system,merit system,...).
I know that it's technically hard and Very time consuming, but if with the help of other good volunteers, may be it will be important to test all those functionalities.

Translate from my French post :

Good evening,

As said at the launch of this forum, the VPS of this one would be renewed only with the help of your donations.

Well it's done, I thank the two anonymous people who gave me the equivalent of +/- 25€ on the Bitcoin donation address ^^





So for the sake of transparency, it is important for me to specify this :

I didn't directly sell the total present on the donation address, instead, I switched the BTCs to an address that serves as my long-term hold.

After that, I took 21.53€ from a recent customer's payment to pay for the VPS. That's it, I think it's important to clarify that.

To finish the final screen of the invoice :



As indicated on the screen, the VPS is therefore renewed for 6 months Smiley

Here you go, I remind you of the addresses of donations if you wish to support the initiative :
- BTC : 1KhANqSrk323EScYehyR3xs3k5DvWZydGh
- LTC : LR1AF7EB7zPaWoTjohkarCv1YyrfNcFovf
- ETH : 0xB43eb6dFF4FE452531f0f66C9b7e42000f0a22a3
- NEO : AX4WyKhdmJsicvkmHpinMq9DsuWKaGpWap

Thanks again to the people who gave, and who will give !

Note : Sorry not to be very active, these last few weeks are very busy for me ^^

See you soon !



Hello,

Just a quick message to prevent that I updated the forum ^^

If you want to know more :

I do not have more time to develop for today, sorry Roll Eyes



Hello,

Thanks for your Feedback, I will report it to the developer soon ^^
