So the answer to a Test Run of your development skills, is: Why?
"Why does it need an installer" is not really what I would expect from someone that is serious about delivering a marketable product.
We are all trying to determine if giving you control of the code is a good idea, this test build seems like a pretty simple way to do that.
I proposed the Fix the Wallet test run to determine:
If you can.
If you can support all the OS's required.
If you can resist 'on the fly' or unannounced changes.
If you will beta test thoroughly.
If you will release it securely.
How you work with the community and/or people involved.
This would also finally produce something that regular people can install, making it worth recommending and advertising...
You mentioned that you "already fixed it". Ok great, then the hard part is done!
Open source - Stated it would be posted in github.
Installs without manual user steps. - Fix ready
Includes updated supercoin.conf. - Fix ready
Steps To go:
Update logo (Red one, to match what websites were told to use)
Update version and changelog.
Nothing fancy, and no other changes to code.
Tested and reviewed before full release. (allows for community beta test and marketing prep)
Compiled builds released by you with sha256 hash.
What do you think of the steps listed? Are they all necessary? Are any missing?
How long do you think it would take to complete this test build for win\linux\mac?
How would you beta test this build? and for how long?
(Knowing these answers would allow the community to schedule marketing and media stuff.)
These would all be great things to know before the keys to everything get handed over. Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
Hope we can give you some super for your time and effort.
i didnt say why to test my dev skills. i said why to an installer. the QT is 1 file and creates / reads from the directories that is needs already built in. which is normally the point of an installer. let me tell you what can be done almost immidiately (besides the changes i said i already made). all OS will be supported. (really simple and pretty much done). of course i can update the version 1 level. that will take maybe 30 seconds. as far as logo change goes. if someone can make a logo that the community like then it can be added immediately. im not good with Photoshop / graphics. sorry. there is usually whole separate divisions for that in a company from the other coders. how to beta test? umm... just run it? there isnt really any significant changes to be made to the actual networking portion of the code, so theres no real reason to test those immediate upgrades.
No one tried to reach me. I did not see any message. As I said before, I will endorse the devs who are willing to take-over, as long as they keep the supercoin open sourced.
BTW, I saw good discussions on the supercoin tech, I am glad that many people understand the tech well. Thanks to all who supported and described in supercoin tech in clarity. The whitepapers are good places to start, before diving into the code.
Well now we know Supercoindev wants to keep the supercoin open sourced. Can somebody give me the pro and cons of keeping supercoin open sourced after Griffith and mdtspain start upgrading supercoin?
let me clarify what we plan to do. the coin source itself WILL be open source. what would be closed source is the mutliwallet that i am making from scratch that will be a SECONDARY platform for the coin to run in. there will always be the wallet for just supercoin that will be available. that other wallet that will be able to run multiple coins at the same time will be closed source. it will use the coins source (in a slightly different way) to be able to run use the coin in it. but the supercoins source itself will be open.
ALSO the in wallet trading will be closed source. there is NO connection between the source of the coin and the in wallet trading. they are two different code blocks. i dont need to edit the coins source at all in order to give it in wallet trading. so the in wallet trading section will remain closed.
TL;DR - supercoins code itself will be open source. the 3rd party things we make to work WITH the coins source will be closed as they wont be added into the coins code (they are separate code blocks)
this is our current plan for the coin
