Done.

Sorry I knew there was things I was missing, thanks Smiley
There was a post the J.R posted some time ago that listed a bunch of github repositories, does anyone remember where it is?

Let me know if I missed anything else and I'll add it.

Two new minor announcements:

1. I made forum.mastercoin.org a redirect to this bitcointalk thread. We may have our forum in the future, but for now it's a convenient alias to get back to this thread.

2. I forked a bunch of code! I took all the repositories I could find on mastercoin.org + the new Faucet (work in progress) and just forked them over to our github organization. I don't plan to do any editing on the forked repositories - they're just there as an aggregator of important mastercoin-related work.

One note - github forks do not updated automatically - the original repositories will always contain the most up-to-date version of the code.

A) If there are important projects I missed, let me know and I'll fork them as well.
B) If anyone working on a Mastercoin related project wishes - you're all invited to develop your code on top of our github organization and thus have the updated code available at one central location.
C) Otherwise, it would be nice to find a way to automatically pull the latest changes from each repository to the forked repository. I couldn't find a way to do this in github - writing an external service that automatically syncs git repositories nice project, but it's out of scope for us at the moment.

Thanks Smiley

Edit: Actually managed to make it work, not sure if I can package this all but I will give it a go.

Ruby wallet won't work until I fix the OpenSSL problems. I will ping you if I can manage that somehow. However since Zathras has an excellent Windows client I won't give this the highest priority.

I'm installing an ubuntu VM ... and will test it out before you have a Windows port.

I figured board members could find their way around the project  Roll Eyes

You might want to ask him for a binary if you don't have any development tools.

Well, I did admit to being a bit out of touch Smiley
It's going to chance now though... thanks.

Ugh, why VB and not C# Sad

I'll check it out, as well as the Ruby wallet.

Mastercoin-wallet might run on Windows, but the problem is that a lot of libraries are not really easily found on windows. Currently the problem is getting OpenSSL working via ruby bindings on Windows.

Please check out Zathras's wallet software. It is made on Windows for Windows Smiley

Link?

BTW, I have a small confession to make:

Up until now, I only ever did one mastercoin transfer, and when I did it I used Willett's old Mastercoin Advisor.

As I'm now diving back into the project, I was wondering if someone could write up a small summary of the different clients out there?

When I write "client" I mean "a piece of software of a web wallet that is currently capable of receiving and sending mastercoins". As far as I understand the two clients we link to from mastercoin.org שרק:

- Masterchest
- Mastercoin Explorer

These aren't really what I'd call clients at this point, more like helper tools similar in nature to the advisor. What is the status of the Ruby client? I will be testing out all these tools in more details when time allows. For now I opened the first issue on the Ruby Client - creating a Windows installer.

Is there active development effort and/or bounties currently directed at implementing such a client?

You know, a client that is actually usable by people who aren't hackers/coders, and might work on Windows (gasp) and have an simple exe or installer and not require someone to preinstall python/ruby/whatnot ... or alternatively a secure web wallet that allows you to create an account?

I think that creating such a client is one of our top priorities, and should come before implementing more advanced protocol features.

Hi all,

I just wanted to update you guys with the summary of the first board meeting of the Mastercoin Foundation.

Cheers,
Ron
There seem to be 8 people on the board. Would it be possible to add their Bitcointalk nicks somewhere, so people know who they are?


People can decide on their own Trello id/nick.
I invited the mastercoin board of directors to this board, I imagine most of them won't be active there for the time being.

Bitfunder.com is going to exclude US residents from trading on their platform. This could be the first step of shutting down their site (as seen with btct.co). This would cause a huge vacuum in the bitcoin stock world and would create an even greater opportunity for Mastercoin's smart property feature. I'm calling for a dedicated development team and / or dedicated smart property contest.

Your prophecy was correct.

The MasterCoin specification gives an example about accepting a bet
"Once GoldCoins reach a value of 20 or the bet deadline passes, the bet winner gets 99.5% of the money"

But how is it decided (and enforced) who wins and who loses?
Is there something more concrete than discussion in this thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2895109
and
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3393152

Can it happen automatically (in this case, because GoldCoin in implemented in MasterCoin) without ProofOfAnything
and without having to trust someone?


The data feed decides who wins and who loses and it's independent from both betters.

They are on the wiki which is getting cleaned up at the moment (got hit with a bunch of spam so we are reinstalling), more updates should be there next week

China is BitShares town. Goodluck

The population of China is some 1.3 billion and U.S. 0.3 billion. Could we similarly summarize USA with a blanket statement that it's Litecoin's town? Why bother trying do anything relating to Bitcoins over there. Smiley

I hear color coin is going to release their barely useable alpha of distributed exchange this week

Guys why the hostility towards coloured coins? This is not a competition. We are both trying to solve a problem, just in a different way. Let's be respectful to each other and each others work. 

Finally someone spelt them correctly.
