General Discussion / Re: [ANN] BlockPay -Your favorite store can now accept any crypto thanx to Bitshares
« on: November 18, 2016, 11:10:10 am »
We are going to beat my Christmas deadline (completing our IPFS work for Stealth and BlockPay Core).
We also have the IPFS implementation in C running 1 week ahead of schedule:
https://github.com/kenCode-de/c-ipfs
https://github.com/kenCode-de/c-libp2p
https://github.com/kenCode-de/c-multiaddr
https://github.com/kenCode-de/c-multihash
https://github.com/kenCode-de/c-multicodec
https://github.com/kenCode-de/c-ipld
https://github.com/kenCode-de/c-iprs (on hold, lack of docs)
Config file is done, Protobuff needs to be figured out, r/w storage operations in progress, implementing lightningDB (instead of leveldb), c-ipns datastore is in progress (with speed improvements), node is in progress, cid is usable now but needs a use case, also in progress: c-libp2p routing, c-libp2p crypto, c-libp2p network, is-domain, proquint, pin, key, merkledag, daemon, c-libp2p tcp, sctp, utp, udp, udt and open_tcp.
Pull Requests welcomed!
We released a second debug apk of the android security update yesterday, and after this next security audit is done tonight, and it passes with flying colors, then I will probably feel comfortable enough to flip the servers back on and launch the update on google play by end of next week.
Also, by Christmas, we should have Stealth integrated with IPFS and the new graphene-ui well underway. At the same time we're building out the new BlockPay Core with IPFS so that BlockPay can be installed on anything (vending machines, cash registers, iOS, etc).
In next weeks update, I will try to include all the download links for you guys.

Then create an Alerts thread and move this thread into it-- Most people do not subscribe to thread Notifications though, so they would never think to check it all the time.
Don't bury threads like this, I think that would be a disservice.

No, I think I will leave it as-is. It needs to be attention grabbing. I modified the post yesterday too so that people know this is just on androids.

General Discussion / SECURITY ALERT
« on: November 05, 2016, 06:58:43 pm »
SECURITY ALERT - Do not use our android smartcoins wallet, bitshares wallet, or blockpay right now. We hired a security guy and he found a major bug which apparently compromises private keys when unlocking the app or upon a Send transaction. We are going to release a security update as soon as possible. Our servers have been shut down as well. Once the update is audited and released, it will force you to set a new 8-digit PIN number on a new brainkey too just to be extra cautious. Any balances will be automatically applied to your new brainkey, PIN and .bin file, and your existing bts account names do not have to change. We will release this security update as soon as we can and get it published to google play. We sincerely apologize for the downtime and we are working hard to get this update launched asap. Thank you for your patience, the BitShares Munich Team

BlockPay "S" v1.0.6 released today:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bitsharesmunich.blockpay
UI/UX updates, and beginning the implementation of a new Blocktrades API that will make signups with Blocktrades (for coin to coin bridging) a bit easier. Right now, the initial setup of BlockPay is still a pain in the butt because the user has to setup multiple accounts, but this new API will help our a bunch.
We are also making a lot of headway on our IPFS implementation in C. Over the next couple weeks we will be uploading a lot more to these repos:

Me too! BitShares Munich should have most of Stealth ready for public tests around Christmas. I post weekly updates on telegram Bitshares channel, my steemit blog (https://steemit.com/@kenCode), my github (https://github.com/kenCode-de), and here on the forum:

BlockPay "S" v1.0.5 is now available for download on google play. Please update all installs!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bitsharesmunich.blockpay
note: please update all brainkey PIN numbers to 8-digits instead of 6-digits. i added support for web wallet accounts too (numeric PIN's only though, not 8-digit brainkey passwords). by changing your brainkey PIN to 8-digits, this will allow you to use the same bts account inside of BlockPay as well as in your web wallet.

« on: October 31, 2016, 11:40:04 am »@kenCode you are one of the last hope for bts to succeed. Thank you very much
there's nothing out there that can beat our platform in speed, scalability and features. why more businesses aren't building on it is beyond me.
Anyhow @kenCode - for sure you guys have done an awesome work, of course I'm not even putting that into question. BTS Munich is one of, if not the most, prolific group of entrepreneurs around here.
Last I heard, you were putting together a team to implement STEALTH -- are there any news on this, and most importantly, any ETAs? (next summer?)
Thanx karnal
One of the long-time Bitshares Devs has agreed to help us with the Stealth UI when we get to that point.
Right now, I have 2 full-time guys (Gordon and Jose) doing all the blockchain-level code for graphene. Lots of existing code has had to be cleaned up first though, it's quite a mishmash in there. Final product will be wicked clean though. We are hiding all of the amounts and most of the metadata too, so Stealth is going to smoke everything else that is out there now. Fast, scalable, anonymous, untraceable, totally private... it's everything I'd hoped Stealth could become.
Right now, we are working on all of the IPFS implementation in C. The new BlockPay Core is in C as well. The IPFS and new Core should be ready by Christmas. If all goes well with Stealth, I really hope you guys can pop in to our testnet and start helping us with testing it out by Christmas as well. When we are ready for that, I will send you guys the testnet info then.

As of tomorrow at noon, we will start adding the support for the Dash, Bitcoin and Steem blockchains to the Smartcoins Wallet. This way, the users of those coins can use our wallet if they like to get the benefits from BlockPay such as Loyalty Points, eReceipts, and of course to start getting familiar with Smartcoins at the same time. Those communities are really missing out right now since they don't have mobile wallets that support all that stuff. i have 3 part-time guys working to add those 3 extra chains as fast as possible.
As of today, I broke out the different parts of our new BlockPay Core and BlockPay Engine IPFS-related stuff into 7 different repos:
https://github.com/kenCode-de?tab=repositories
so, as of Wednesday the 2nd, next week, you will start seeing our commits there. i have 3 full-time guys, and 8 part-time guys working on those repos. The new BlockPay Core relies on them to be able to load up the new BlockPay Engine from IPFS for the specific platform or device that BlockPay is installed onto, such as windows, mac, linux, vending machines, raspi's, etc.
as of thursday of this week (tomorrow) we will start the integration of Stealth with the Bitshares platform and if all goes well we should have most of it ready for testing by Christmas. I have 2 full-time guys, and 1 part-time guy on our Stealth team.
all of these things that we are coding right now are needed for the Echo app as well and I have 5 more guys on standby waiting for those components so we are knocking this out as fast as possible.
the new 1-step setup for BlockPay by the way is frign awesome, I think you guys will really like it.
keep an eye on my github, steemit blog, and right here in this thread for more updates to come...
