Random Discussion / Fork of steem, "calibrae"
« on: October 17, 2017, 07:26:18 pm »
Hi,

Loki (doing the c++ dev work)

and I (doing devops/docker/support for loki) are working on a fork of steem because we're both banned from steem's github repository, and because we think that steem should've been a great deal more decentralized/"better" than it was. The main differences that we're setting up are:

* Single token (removal of SBD)
* No market (hence no price feeds for witnesses)
* 50 witneses instead of 21/19/whatever.
* No "let the miner run" quasi-premine

Our code is located at https://git.calibr.ae/calibrae/nebula

The area we will most need help in to move forward will be intimate knowledge of operating graphene.  Both loki and I know it pretty well, but we suspect that when it comes to starting a new chain, there are going to be things to learn, for example:

  • What is the exact role of initminer?
  • What triggers a chain with 0 blocks to begin producing blocks?

I'm interested in getting feedback from anyone on this project as a whole, and in getting advice on moving through the code.  We have the market excised as of now, and our next big task is to remove everything relating to SBD (and there's really a great deal of that.)

There's not going to be an ICO, as we want to maintain community ownership. There's not going to be a pre-mine, as we want an organic community around this software.

Thoughts?

PS: https://git.calibr.ae/calibrae/nebula/issues lists our open issues. There will be more, but if anyone can offer specific help with any of these, it'll be greatly appreciated.

XMPP/Jabber: faddat@dukgo.com (yes I've OTR)

There are certainly other ways to reach me, but those are by far the most reliable.  Talk to you soon! 

Stuff you can talk to me about:

General Discussion / working on HW "wallet"
« on: February 14, 2015, 10:33:50 am »
This is not a cold storage device.  It is a wallet that runs on a teeny PC external to your PC.  It should be able to connect directly to your router with an Ethernet cable and to a USB 2.0a power supply and sit there and be your wallet indefinitely.  With your permission it could be the wallet of others behind your firewall, too.  Here's the million dollar question:

How much ROM storage (flash or nand or what have you....) Is "enough" to store not just today's blockchain but the blockchain of 2 years from today (I am only designing 12-24 months out, any further and my words will melt into oblivion)

Can anyone offer me guidance on this one?  I have 8gb on current devices but can increase that if needed.  Thanks very much for your feedback.

General Discussion / Bitshares Hardware Wallet presale
« on: February 02, 2015, 11:38:37 pm »
I bought TREZORs in the pre-sale. The project was greatly delayed, which was annoying, but eventually came through and I was pleased with the product.

However, when I purchased in the pre-sale. bitcoins were much higher lower than when the product was finally delivered. For this reason, I would suggest that if you do a pres-sale it should be in bitAssets.

I am thinking of doing exactly this.  I know that there's this view of a contract less society around here, but well, this seems like a really great application of a smart contract.  Here is the situation-- I need to do some software work on Fenix before I can say for sure that it is ready to go for this use case.  Fenix itself (android/Ubuntu) is all ready to go.  At this point I only need to determine how to set up the UI. 

I could:
* connect via WiFi

Or

* just output via hdmi

EXTRA COLD
*make the device incapable of connecting to the internet

FENIX WILL AUTOMATICALLY
Make sure it is always up to date

SO, DEAR READERS, can I get a show of hands?  Who would be interested if 100 bitusd got you in the door?  How would you use it?  Would you run android or windows?

Finally, thanks for your support.  Hearing people get excited about dawn hardware is the bees' knees. 
*make a fenix docker collection

General Discussion / Hardware wallet
« on: January 24, 2015, 08:27:21 pm »
Hi, I'm Jake and my company is Dawn.  We're going to make a BitShares hardware wallet.  Purchasers of this hardware wallet (like any purchaser of a Dawn product) will receive an ownership stake in Dawn and a kick-ass hardware wallet.  I'll be putting the Linux bitshares client onto the wallet.

I've also got to get Fenix's web site back up and chugging before I get too involved with this and can't give you fine people a link.  Please use this thread to feed me your suggestions for the wallet.  If anyone has ported the wallet to ARM, please do let me know :)

Best,

-Jake

General Discussion / Forking bitshares
« on: January 24, 2015, 11:30:02 am »
Dan and I had a lot to think about after speaking with you guys on the mumble hangout.  We're really glad that we did.  Bytemaster was correct-- we do form a DAC.  Here's what Dawn proposes to do:

  • Formally Tie Bitshares and Dawn through launching a delegate on bitshares
  • Support bitshares through the creation of hardware implementing its features
  • Offer to replace this awful forum code with Discourse because we think y'all are cool
  (Bulleted lists shouldn't be so damn hard!)
  • Sync our codebases-- for the sake of API compatibility and just goodness, overall, we're going to keep up with your changes and make our changes available to you
  • Aim for a larger number of more local delegates
  • Create an info-liberation toolkit as both hardware and software
  • Offer services based on that info-liberation toolkit
