Re: $25000 Coding Contest: Show us what you can do with MasterCoin, every entry wins
- How often you post updates in this thread or the main project thread. Ideally, you should post what you plan to do, and then post extremely frequent updates as you make progress.
OK, I guess I'll start posting more frequently then! I'm building a desktop mastercoin client. It currently requires a bitcoin-qt client running on the same machine to operate, because it uses the bitcoin-RPC server to broadcast transactions.
The code is here: https://github.com/maraoz/pymastercoin
and I'll post any updates here. Technical discussion will remain on the Mastercoin original thread.
Right now I'm working on data storage methods, because it seems like we should first define that and then build over it. I'm looking to create a simple GUI for a PC wallet. The goal is to be able to see the current Mastercoin balance for your bitcoin addresses and create simplesend transactions. I'm also looking to update the client to support advanced features when they become specified and reviewed.
I think the project will be useful because it'll allow desktop users (who normally don't want to trust web wallets) to fully use Mastercoin on their own machines.
Cheers!
Awesome! I assume you are following Tachikoma's work on alternate storage methods?
It would be awesome if the three main contributors so far (Tachicoma, grazcoin, and yourself) could agree on a single method and run with it for the duration of the coding contest.
I've said it before: I don't think any of you are going to get enough money for the awesome work you are putting in. Hopefully it will be a nice bonus though
