Hi there,
There are 1.2 BTC in bounty that I started in 2012, currently worth a little over $10,000 in an old bounty I started here.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=103123.0They were originally geared towards creating a Windows Installer for OT/moneychanger.
Nobody claimed the bounty, and the coins have been sitting there in a wallet (I have access to).
Any thoughts on where the bounty should go?
I found this thread from 2014 about a Windows installer (obsolete by now).
Is that the rightful owner of the bounty?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77301.msg859040#msg859040The best person to send it to would be Justus Ranvier. Here's a receiving address for him: 176MHZMUzQhRh1ik7zhffyzdeF3Y9nkkhM
He's currently coding full native blockchain support into OT itself. Here's his commit history:
https://github.com/justusranvier/opentxs/commits/blockchainWhen the latest wallet is released, there will be a Windows installer for it, since the new UI is all based on Qt. OT now also has UI classes with native Qt support.
Mind if I (or you) post this on the bounty thread, for sake of transparency?
Can you are I contact him and verify publicly that he owns this address?
One reasonable way would be to create a repo or commit with a statement that he owns this address.
FYI the new wallet won't be Moneychanger, but it is a new OT wallet, based on Qt, and multiplatform. We will deploy on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android.
I contacted Justus so you should be hearing from him directly. He will provide you whatever proof you need.
And yes, I think it's fine to post this on the bounty thread. And Justus definitely deserves some reward for all the hard work he's been doing on this new wallet.
