A computer component malfunctioned (not the disk) and had to be replaced.
I've been too busy with my job that had not time to expect the delivery and
could not simply walk into a store and get it for fiat because COVID 19.
When I finally acquired it I struggled with the Linux drivers. My system has
been running unstable and finally downgrading seems to work around the problem.
I don't have COVID 19.
What needs to be done:
- write some kind of guide for people who want to test the contracts support
- test the 0.3.2 client contracts support without real funds
- we need to release 0.3.2 with the contracts support
- comb trade
- amound decided later payment
- public members can do the tests according to the guide to convince themselves that it works
- with real money but preferably with low amounts
- testing will also help to spread awareness because people will try themselves how it works
Next I will start something like my own "exchange" (actually a dex)
- write "exchange comb trade guide" for users
- no fees for me - it will be free of charge to use the dex
- I will publish a file with say 1000 deciders in it. This will mean I could theoretically decide 1000 comb trade contracts
- will sign the file publicly and also put it on github
- risks:
- two users paying to the same decider. Always ask me beforehand if it is okay by you to pay to a certain contract!!
- someone 51% attacks the shitcoin we are trading against - solution: use "quality" shitcoins
- I will be unable to access the web due some reasons - not a big problem but inconvience for the users - they will have to wait
- probably no web site
- no custody of users funds by me - I will only decide the contracts
- we can have ETH/COMB pair or SOME_SHITCOIN/COMB
- the shitcoin cannot have privacy features because then I will be unable to see if an address has been funded
- no BTC/COMB pair (It is pointless, people can just claim for the "official" fixed exchange rate)
Later the exchange experiment will be shut down
- after a 1000 trades?? or earlier?
- publish a new version of COMB core that allows anyone to run their own COMB exchange
