Great work... is the bitshares js lib a port of bitcore as a base? Can you sign transactions? You still need a node to run to make RPC calls right? Is the mail system the foundations of "talking" to the library and thus make RPC calls to the bitshares node?

I'm just curious as to what you see the big picture here as where the bitshares JS is going together with the mail project.

I'm guessing web wallets and market place apps would use the JS library for efficiency purposes over talking directly a bitshares node?

Yes

well said: yes to all ..

I'm only using a small part of bitcore.  I do like that project a lot, it is a valuable resource.  It is quite large but they are planning to modularize it.  Also I can trim out what we need if it comes to that.

BM can correct me if I get something wrong!  Basically, the efficiency comes from using the mailbox mainly because you know what belongs to you (it is in your mailbox).  You don't know who sent it or what it is unless you can derive the private key (https://github.com/BitShares/BitShares-JS/blob/72e565d5e1768b80547cd480977cdd16e7ecea7e/test/mail_test.coffee#L55-L72) to decrypt it ( this requires your private key ).  So the mail is reasonably private.  I'm assuming we utilize default mail servers initially but the flexibility to re-configure and add redundancy is already built-in should someone have a need.  I imagine this will be the primary means of transferring transactions and will become a selling point for delegates that run a separate mail server.  Here is Nathan's paper BitShares Mail (https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/wiki/BitShares-Mail).

It seems I will get jcalfee's helper delegate ready for action very soon!   :D



count me in to support you with delegates running in Greece!  Let me know if you are interested  ;)

I already revealed my identity as you know and my delegate is always  up to date with great statistics...

check delegate.liondani


I see you have put a lot into delegate.liondani...  Here is my proposal (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=12007.msg158434#msg158434), what do you think?
I am in!

Sent from my ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 997D


I will get in touch with jcalfee1 today if possible (must be online both the same time  :))
And will discuss the details (helper delegate name, pay frequency, etc.)
I assume we have official details about jcalfee stand-by delegate very very soon!   ;)

The immediate plan is to support the existing web wallet and make some more performance improvements (largely due to many new user-issued-assets).  Then continue to put together an secure online experience using TITAN and the mail servers.  Both are a very high priority as the race continues knowing the Christmas Holiday are fast approaching.

EDIT: I'm implementing common RPC calls in the BitShares-JS library.  This will mean we can take existing wallets like the the qt web_wallet or the next re-write (a light-weight BitShares wallet) and run as a multi-user wallet.  BitShares-JS repository could offer a functional www browser-based rpc console where a user may receive and send funds privately.

I wanted to wake you up at your 5AM , but I didn't have your number , and I was worry that wake you up so early may not produce better result .
In the near future I think it's better to allocate 24 hour shifts at least before 1.0 .

Yes.  I have my phone with me 24-7 so we just need a few people who are awake and know the number.

thank you!  .. wow, that last vote really determines our fate.  We are not getting any breaks now.  That is good, there is much to be done.  Thanks for the support, I have found more dedicated candidates and I'll be casting a vote soon.  I still need your votes, it would be nice to get off of the bottom so we can stay active well into the new year.

Also, super thanks to cn-members for your translation.  I'm glad we got that finished.  I posted it yesterday to the Delegates group.  Just one question, did Google translate this right: does "having one's cake and eating it too" really translate to "fish and bear's paw can have both" ??  :)

Me and Callmeluc did the translation .
Yes , Fish and Bear's paw are two good food in ancient China , the slang is that you can't have both .
So the positive expression would be "fish and bear's paw can have both"

Bear catches fish, hunter shoots bear before it can eat the fish. I think I'll stick with cake :).

There is this from Dec 29: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=12664.msg167826#msg167826
We have not seen anything more recent.  I think BM is going to make one though.

Vikram just started a release thread with a link that shows the tag and binaries:  https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=13010.0

You can import a private key to test it.  I choose to transfer my balance to a new wallet.  In the next release, there will be a new RPC command, wallet_import_keys_from_json (https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/commit/a8d92674198b686a0542e7ab34ed888a30b90396#diff-26273b9b3121b3f8645168381d032dcf) that should aid in the process.
