Did I win? :P
[/quote]

No. But I liked your answer enough to give you a rep.

How long until Rep’s are on Cryptsy?

0!
* hang head in shame *

is the answer for #2 bubble sort?

is it sorting the numbers? i can’t tell the code is purposely confusing

*tries to read the “createSomething()” method*

:o

OH F THIS.

;D

1.
reads in user input 1 line at a time, until user enters nothing.

prints it out the list of number separated by commas

sorts the numbers ( i think …??? )

prints it out the sorted list

2. magicly

3. using a sort function

Is this something that is currently being worked on? It would be a game changer if merchants could embed a “pay with feathercoin” button on their website like with bitpay…
[/quote]coinpayments.net?

coin payments does not convert FTC to Fiat tho, like bitpay does.

why dose it cost so much can’t anyone already embed any message on any blockchain simply by pushing the appropriate tx, each TX has loads of extra space for meta data, no?
[/quote]

It costs so much because otherwise miners don’t seem to want to confirm the transactions.

The cost is strictly variable. The more data you enter, the higher the cost. 700 bytes is a large message in my opinion, but maybe in the future it will be small. I don’t know.

The 47 Satoshi’s in the example is required for 700 bytes. The .94 miners fee is a number I arrived at through trial and error, and equates to 0.05 per output (47 Link addresses + 1 change address = 48 outputs * 0.05 = 0.94).

Yes, you can push the TX yourself. And assuming you’re a miner, you could mine it into the blockchain yourself with zero fee. I’m still contemplating ways to expose that to the user (list of send addresses?), but for this first pass you’ll just have to pay the high miners fee.

I tried it with 0 fee, and I tried it with less fees. The transactions never confirmed. So I’m sticking with what the QT client seems to insist upon, since I’m sure everyone’s using that for their miners, including pools. We can always revisit this.

I see.
thank you

maybe the Market section can be expanded, to include some small jobs.

Hopefully I won’t break it.
[/quote]I hope I do break it because that’s what beta testing is.

Really, Tuck, how much did you donate to get so much love? :p I thought I read that there was >500 FTC that Kev was using for testing and re-dispersing and I know 100 of it came from me and some other user matched it.
[/quote]

Look, this is going to be beta quality software. Period. I mean I’ve not even done unpublished expiration. You can break this 60 days from Sunday if you’re clever. You could spam the blockchain with Junk if you wanted to. It would cost you, but you could do it.

I’m trusting a select group to do the right thing. If you’ve donated, you’ll get the link to Link. If you post it on the forums, the secret will be out and you’ll ruin the exclusivity. I ask you don’t do that. If you click the publish button 666 gazillion times, you’ll fill up the HD with unpublished information. I ask you don’t do that. If you even try and send the payment in multiple transactions adding up to the final amount and there’s not another coin in there to send it, it’ll break. It needs whole spends equal to or greater than the amount to spend. It’ll break all over the place.

I want to make this really clear ahead of time: [b]It WILL lose your coins[/b]. I don’t plan on returning them, even if the data never posts. When it works, it is destroying them, and giving them away as miners fee. I’m sorry in advance for all the bugs, and for your lost coins. As way of consolation, I’ll use whatever I sweep up off the floor to fix the bugs that caused to you lose them in the first place. This comes with zero warranty except the following: I’ll do my best to not make a total ass-hat of myself. All other illusions about quality should be dispelled now.

I estimate the average cost to be less than 1 FTC.

The fee breakdown is as follows:
15 bytes = 0.00000001 data encode + 0.005 miners fee.

That means that for a message with 700 bytes (which approximates to a name, a magnet link, a 100 word description, and 5 keywords), the cost will be 0.94000047. That’s 0.00000047 coins destroyed, 0.94 for miners, and 0 for me. This is of course trivial to verify in the blockchain.

Tonight I am:

[list]
[*]Writing the FAQ and about page, and fixing the footer
[*]Registering a domain
[*]Firing up a host in the cloud
[*]Installing Feathercoind, Link, and Link-server on it
[*]Testing everything in “production mode”
[/list]

We’re that close. I’ve been testing all the main functionality and site navigation. It’s solid enough for beta-testing. Mnstrcck said he’d probablly get to the Search Result CSS tonight as well.

If all goes as planned, you donators may be receiving a link in your inbox to Link sometime tomorrow… Although Tuck will get his before anyone else. Watch this space for more…

all that in 1 night

Crypto-Trade trades FTC/USD

but not sure if its trustworthy…

it would be really nice to have btc-e allow FTC/USD trading, but i don’t think its in the works.

I think there are to many ftc. Lots of people have 50k+. Hard for them to ever be worth morn then a buck or two. But who knows could be wrong and people will make millions.

And to stay on topic I have about 550
[/quote]

well they paid good money for it
mining cost money…

and it very likely most poeple sold their feathercoins on the market as they mined them

the market place consists of alot more poeple then you think

how many poeple took a small speculative position like me and don’t really frequent the forums?

alot…

I & they won’t all hit market sell unless there is a really good reason

a) FTC might be bubbling and they want to do some risk management

b) some Bad news for FTC comes out and they capitulate.

so far i’ve seen nothing but good things here, FTC is not a pump and dump, the market reflects the efforts of the community, and isn’t over valued, id say its still very much undervalued, I hope to see FTC do more good things, i plan on doing some good things to help FTC kick start itself into a viable currency, but these things take time…
