I was following the development of Isis ATP with great interest.
Last word from Isis is the project is not dead but has just slowed down.
Actually it's not dead, but it was nearly killed due to contractual obligations. The slow down in release has more to do with the fact that a company is renting my intellect for a bit and as long as they are renting my intellect, then any fruits of that intellect belong to them if there is any parallel between said fruits and the tasks I am being paid to accomplish for them. There was some strange verbage in my contract and so I asked for and received a clarification on my contract that says I just can't do it during business hours or use any client resources without their express consent.
Therefore I'm proud to say that I have now officially received the OK to continue working on Isis-ATP AND OpenPay.
I was very surprised to actually obtain the go ahead and am really glad I did.
Now I just need to find the energy at the end of the day to actually put into it and start a proper project plan on these 2.
Thanks for sticking it out!
Unfortunately there has not been a commit to github in over a month. It looks like Isis is very busy with the OpenPay enterprise so that is probably getting more attention than Isis ATP at the moment.
I've finally secured some financial backing for OpenPay and the Open Payment Alliance is in the process of forming.
The Open Payment Alliance is an international organization, structured as a non-profit entity tasked with the job of designing, implementing and maintaining the OpenPay protocol.
The purpose of the OpenPay protocol and its related bits and pieces, is to allow the spending of cryptographic currencies here in the real world.
There are many things we need to do and
We are going to need help, lots and lots of help.
I'm not going to try and list everything we need, but if you're currently looking for a job send a list of skills you have, what your availability is for the next 6 months or so and your salary requirements in BTC.
If selected to join the alliance you will be paid in BTC, or your prefered cryptocoin. For legal reasons we will not be paying in local fiat.
The list of skills we need to bring to the table is immense and includes, web developers, artists,project managers, copywriters/translators, business people, lawyers (in most countries a notary), embedded developers, you name it we probably need it.
Feel free to post your interest here, however do not post personally identifying information. You will be contacted via PM if your skillsets are something we can use.
Should we still stick it out in anticipation of further updates to Isis ATP?
