I would suggest connecting with TorrnA, who is also one of the original devs for donations. 

We're working on a bounty system right now and assessing the our current needs.  I would like donations to be in a public address where community members can check to see where their donations are flowing.  In addition, I'd like the bounty system to include multi-sig (a function that is coming soon to BTCD) where it would require 3 signatures before bounty rewards can be released.  This should accomplish a few things:

1) Transparency--community members can check to see where donations are going
2) Promotional-- using multi-sig is likely a first for issuing bounty rewards
3) More trust-- not one person would be responsible for issuing bounty rewards, because it would require 3 signatures to be released
4) Quality-- 3 devs would need to agree that the bounty should be released for the project in question


As, for community opportunities, will be discussing that in more detail tonight.  I know James has mentioned that he will need community members for testing in the near future, so that is certainly going to be an option going forward.

However, I'm open to suggestions as to how the bounty system should work.

Fire away!

Now that the price has dropped some I will share some insight.  I'm sure everyone already has an idea, but you all were victims of multiple pump groups which started along the mining period.  The enormous hashrate that was present during the mining phase was the what I call "the setup".  That alone fueled the "momentum" for the rocket to take off.  The rocket did run out of fuel and what your seeing price wise right now is the after effects.  This was all planned from the get go.   


The real price before this i'm sure you all know is about 60k

hey guys im liking what i see here and even more now i know jl777 is involved i know he will get the job done properly, i have faith in him.
BUT i would like to invest but im tied up in other ipo and investments so i dont have any expendable funds to buy.
is the multipool going to make me more than 0.1 btc per week with 800ghs (sha 256 obviously) im not looking for great profits but i need to cover electric costs. is it worth mining on the pool or just stick with mining btc then buy btcd with the profit left over?

thanks in advance

NEXT !

may i ask what your opinion is in this matter?

does anybody know if there is a cryptsy API call that just returns all marketid's and what they are?

http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=marketdatav2
returns giant amounts of data and seems to be the only thing with this data

James

anyone know what is a worthwhile amount of btcd is to stake efficiently ?

For peoples concerned about the price, think in terms of waves
there is the high point and the low point of a wave, so dont get too excited when at the high point, nor depressed when at the low point.

The average of the high and the low is much more important than the exact high/low price

Now, if this average tends to go up over time (rising tide), then all is well.

It $1 million marketcap is the low part of the wave and BTCD is less than three weeks old, then maybe this is not so bad?

I am making good progress on the orderbook code, so by this weekend should have some primitive automated tradebot capability. Once that is in place, then making a tradebot that does automatic BTCD -> BTC trade and transfer will be much simpler, so if all goes well, next week there could be a BTCD -> BTC autopayment bridge in testing. When this goes to mainnet, BTCD will be accepted everywhere BTC is accepted.

There was plenty of fuel left someone just cut one of the fuel lines.

Fortunately James and the boys had already begun installation of a new propulsion system, all systems will be a go once again and then from there straight up uranus
