The title says it all. See here.

Am I allowed to announce this, or should I have waited for one of the team to do it? Dunno...

Anyone fancy having a go at solving this problem? It's a good'un!

If you use a search engine you're cheating nobody but yourself! :P

The warden meets with 23 new prisoners when they arrive. He tells them, "You may meet today and plan a strategy. But after today, you will be in isolated cells and will have no communication with one another.

"In the prison is a switch room, which contains two light switches labeled 1 and 2, each of which can be in either up or the down position. I am not telling you their present positions. The switches are not connected to anything.

"After today, from time to time whenever I feel so inclined, I will select one prisoner at random and escort him to the switch room. This prisoner will select one of the two switches and reverse its position. He must flip one switch when he visits the switch room, and may only flip one of the switches. Then he'll be led back to his cell.

"No one else will be allowed to alter the switches until I lead the next prisoner into the switch room. I'm going to choose prisoners at random. I may choose the same guy three times in a row, or I may jump around and come back. I will not touch the switches, if I wanted you dead you would already be dead.

"Given enough time, everyone will eventually visit the switch room the same number of times as everyone else. At any time, anyone may declare to me, 'We have all visited the switch room.'

"If it is true, then you will all be set free. If it is false, and somebody has not yet visited the switch room, you will all die horribly. You will be carefully monitored, and any attempt to break any of these rules will result in instant death to all of you"

What is the strategy they come up with so that they can be free?

"Hungarian government plans to criminalise the use of encrypted services"

Look at this article from mappingmediafreedom.org!

This sort of stuff is worrying. Imagine going to prison for two years for using BitShares! Or WhatsApp! Oh my word...

Quote
31 March, 2016 – The Hungarian government plans to criminalise the use of applications for encrypted communication.

The measure is part of a new antiterrorism legislation package put forward by the Interior Ministry, and was first presented on 31 March by János Lázár, the Minister heading the Prime Minister's Office.

If the package is implemented in its present form, anyone caught using encrypted software can be punished by 2 years of prison. The providers would be obliged to ensure access to the content of the encrypted messages, and they would have to provide the identification data of the users as well as the IP address used for registration. Failure to comply qualifies as misdemeanor, and is also punishable with a 2 years prison sentence.

The antiterrorism package also contains provisions regarding an increase of surveillance in public spaces and enables the Interior Ministry to prohibit mass events.

Do we have community members from Hungary?

It's not supposed be like that. I tried disabling JavaScript on chrome to see if that's the problem, but then the page doesn't load at all. You could try checking that you have JavaScript enabled, just in case.

I don't know a lot about computers, so don't know what else to suggest. Have you managed to download a backup? If you have then you could try messing around with chrome to see if you can get it to work.

You could take the backup and use it on a P.C.

I didn't receive bitcash on the wallet. It's still showing 0$ ;)Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Are you sure you're on the balance screen, where it says your account name? Is the page refreshed? You should have money according to cryptofresh...

Indeed, lots of bitcash on my account according to cryptofresh !

I have to keypad page showing 0
I tried the send page, it doesn't allow me to send anything, probably because of my 0 balance.
I refreshed a couple of time.

I just see 2 pages, the keypad and the send page. Where is this balance page ?

I'm using a samsung galaxy 5 / android / chrome

Next to the send button is a green '>' button which takes you to the account balance page.

The keypad page you mention, where it says $0, is where you enter the amount which you want to send. The send button won't do anything until you enter an amount using the keypad.

Sometimes, if you want to send your whole balance, you'll need to enter a cent or two less because of fees.

I hope this helps.

More feedback.

In the app, the list of transactions shows amounts, but not which account the money came from or went to. I know you want to keep it simple, was this a conscious decision? I imagine some scenarios where people would want to see this information without going to a block explorer.

Also the amounts don't always add up, i.e. the sum of transactions doesn't equal the balance. I imagine this is because of rounding, but it would confuse some people. Would it be much work to overcome this problem?

When typing in who to send money to, it doesn't offer a list of choices when you've input a partial account name. I like this fact! On a smartphone it's too easy to tap the wrong item on a list and not notice. There will be fewer mistakes how you've done it.

When messing around I noticed the response within the 'app' when you do a successful transaction is the same as with one which is invalid/unsuccessful. This means the user has to check the transaction list or balance to see if it worked. Could there be something to indicate whether or not a transaction was completed?

What you've done is very effective, lovely and simple. The simplicity makes it seem all the more magical. "What? I've just received money from Dave? But all I did was go to this site, choose a name and tell Dave!".

@abit - I sent $2.50 to abit1

The icon looks very neat on the homescreen, and really functions well.

I have ID hadriantest1 and 2 if you'd like to chose one of them. I'll try sending between them, and then to someone else if they put their ID up here!

Are you excited merivercap?! :)

I've tried it on chrome now as well as Cyanogenmod browser.

You've described it as "a very simple starter wallet for mainstream users". I think it will serve it's function very well. It's going to seem like magic to people once they've tried it to send bitcash!

When I first tried it I put my name as 'hadriantest', but my ID showed as 'hadriantest1' on what you might call the account screen. Then I tried it on a different browser (chrome) and entered my name as 'hadriantest' again. This time my ID was 'hadriantest2'. If this is to do with account names being already taken, perhaps there should be a prompt or message for the user. Also, I'm not sure why I wasn't allowed 'hadriantest', because it's not taken - do you automatically append a number?

More feedback to do with inconsistencies in the way the sending amount is displayed. A couple of examples showing input and resulting output:

1 -> $1
1. -> $1.00
1.0 -> $1
1.01 -> $1.01

Also:

1 -> $1
1. -> $1.00
1.0 -> $1
1.00 -> $1

26
Nice one! It seems to work on the stock Cyanogenmod browser on my android phone by the way (obviously with Cyanogenmod OS).

I suppose I should hold back on giving feedback until I've tried it on the intended chrome browser!

General Discussion / Re: 224,201 BROWNIE.PTS up for donations
« on: April 09, 2016, 06:38:57 pm »

With half of the BROWNIE.PTS, I would give about 0.7 BROWNIE.PTS per
post
(224201/2) / 159532 = 0.7026834


What to do with the other half? Suggestions?

  • Some of these 'extra' brownies could be distributed to mirror the proportions of those which were distributed as a result of bytemaster's original brownie announcement post. This would be like a bonus top-up for people who have already proved helpful.
  • Or, similarly, some could be sharedropped on people who currently hold brownies (and therefore value them right now and have put time or money in at some point).
  • Sell them and put the money back into the blockchain
  • Offer them as bounties (as @EstefanTT  has already suggested)
  • Start a thread similar to bytemaster's original brownies announcement offering people the chance to appeal for brownies for contributions they've made since bytemaster's distribution

@xeroc - is there a deadline for getting these distributed? The answer to this affects the options for distribution (but also may leak information by allowing us to infer stuff!)...

Just my thought...
I don' t necessarily agree with the 1 Brownie per forum post.
It's just due to the fact that  A LOT of people abuse the %5, which counts as a individual post which doesn't necessarily mean they deserve to accumulate more Brownies than another community member that has been active and productive.
IMO, is there a way to split the Brownie by forum "tenure". 
Maybe 1 or 2 Brownies per registered day?  Is there a way to get this metric??

 +5%  :P

(edit: I don't normally do  +5%'s!)
(edit 2: Also, I'm not trying to get more posts to game it - I assume Xeroc will be using the count he's already taken)
