Looking for Chinese translations you guys should hook up with VPNcoin DEV. He needs better English translations and is chinese so should have better connections in that area.

Didn't we already have NobleSir aka ShenNoether's wife to do this? IIRC she is a verified translator, but I don't know for sure if he acknowleged this though.

They/She should post here: https://forum.getmonero.org/6/ideas/327/website-and-core-translations

Then make a funding request in the appropriate section of the xmr forum.

GingerAle already posted that link in a reply to him (on reddit, see -> http://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/3cjzlm/china_time/cswqr2o?context=3), so he should be aware of it soon Smiley

PR and translation  Shocked Huh

This is exactly what we have been talking about the past few days.

One idea would be to start sending PMs to the people posting in the XMR Chinese language thread and direct them to the new funding page for the translation project on the getmonero forum

So the funding system has no documention, hence why I thought it was a bounty. As detailed by the fluff,

Quote
What I encourage you to do is find people who are willing to DO those tasks, and get them to pitch a cost, timeline, availability, milestones, etc. in the thread for that idea. Once we have someone that is willing and able to take on the task we can move it to funding required.

SO! I will make a new idea thread, and hopefully those that can take on the task will start pitching.

Translation Bounty

I don't know if you guys already organized the bounty or whatever, but I went ahead and put this together on getmonero.org.

https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/325/monero-website-and-core-translation

Time to put your money where your mouth is!!


Also, palexander got this going to organize the rest of them:

Ok, so it turns out I did it wrong.

Snip* a bunch of translation chit chat

If there is going to be a big push for chinese awareness via social media and such in August, it would be great to have some of the infrastructure translated.

Is this sufficient?

https://bter.com/coininfo/XMR

(press PRC flag to translate)

Look at the reviews section of that page.

I find it very interesting that the most common objection (more frequent than GUI comments) is a lack of marketing

We already have good marketing content, but clearly it is not meeting the masses outside of English speakers on the Bitcointalk forum and Reddit.

The comments really say a lot. Many compliment the tech and potential. Marketing (to the general public) is our big weakness now

Well marketing is not an issue of the core devs .... its our issue ... the community... so go and spread the word if you think we are lacking that.

If the bitcoiners got the formula right, Monero network effect means its the winner of cryptonote coins (12 mh/s vs 1.2mh/s (BCN), 10x more). So until theres something better than Cryptonote (ring signatures + stealth address + egualitarian mining algo), Monero is also 1st contender for private storage and transport of wealth of the future.

How is the LMDB testing gong?


I am confused - I thought that the blockchain db upgrade has been release a few months ago?

Released to github master (staging and testing) and many people are using it. Not "released" in terms of a tagged release with a number and pre-built binaries.

Also for those struggling to build/run the DB on Windows, a small linux virtual machine is one option (virtualbox is free). The memory requirements are extremely low, you could maybe get away with 256 MB RAM using text console linux, certainly 512 MB.

I am using it already since a few weeks - this is why I was confused by the above statement. Wink

can you use the wallet and mine without any problems?

Seems to be working fine for me. I'm getting ~58hs on one core mining to your address.

Edit: 60hs!

BTC38 also has a chinese info page, although I think it's outdated -> http://www.btc38.com/altcoin/xmr/

also it would be good to have simplewallet translated to chinese.

It does not lend itself to translating at the moment, as there is no i18n (ie, gettext or similar) used for all the strings it outputs. So that would need to be changed first, if translating simplewallet is wanted. And it'd probably pull all the rest of the core code which can send error messages as well.


Agreed, basically speaking, we need the whole Monero environement translated into chinese, with Monero core, simplewallet, getmonero.org, and further documentation.

So i think we have two options
1.) Hiring a chinese translator to do that all at the moment speaking and every 3 months what gets added.
2.) Organize a chinese community and hope they are doing this as long as Monero exists.

Both have their downsides, but in my personal limited opinion, number 1 would be feasible and instant.
What do you guys think?

Let me know your thoughts Ladies and Gentleman!

I pledge 50 XMR for the chinese translation as well, would make 675 XMR so far. Is there anybody willing to organize this?

As soon as someone comes forward willing to translate we can find a trusted escrow and talk with flyffly about how the new language will be integrated in the current website, also it would be good to have simplewallet translated to chinese.

i would hit that. my chinese is quite good.

Sounds good  Cheesy
Can you give us an example of your translation, or has anybody here read a translated script from aminorex?

awesome, I would send the moneroj directly to you.

Let´s use a transparent escrow, i think this is in the interest for all of us  Shocked

@fluffy @smooth @GingerAle

What do you think about translating getmonero.org into traditional chinese?
We already have 675XMR pleged, so this would be an excellent oportunity to approach the chinese market with our beloved XMR  Grin


I'll get this going on the getmonero thread, unless someone else gets it going. I guess we'll depend on our escrow in chief, unless someone trusts me to escrow. We'll also need someone to verify the chinese translation is good. Who can do that? I can escrow, but all I'll do is look at it and go "that looks like Chinese to me!" and then send the money. So.....

You can buy XMR with USD here -> https://www.altquick.co/buy-2.php?coin=XMR

(thanks to othe for finding it)

I think that this should go into https://getmonero.org/getting-started/merchants

Quote
All of the merchants are organised alphabetically. If there are any merchants that no longer provide Monero services, or a merchant that wishes to be added, please open an issue on this website's Github repository to alert us.

has anyone actually used it?

ah brilliant. Its just a bitcoin thinger with shapeshift thinger.
