      Kevlar,

      This was on my mind for a few days, so I went ahead and did it anyway:

                Go home, Stevenrm87. You are drunk. ::)

                So… guess what’s not confirming.

                Yep. The 0 fee transaction. Totally expected. It’s got a ton of dust outputs, and no fee. So, tonight I’ll try it with 0.1 fee, just to be sure it’s working, then we can try stepping down the fee and seeing what will confirm and what won’t.

                I’ve been thinking about reading. It’s a MUCH harder problem. Publishing was easy. Reading requires parsing the blockchain itself, and creating a database of all the metadata in there so it can be indexed and searched by the user. This makes me think that in the future, people will bootstrap the Link index for a coin, the same way they bootstrap the blockchain download: By providing a torrent of the data up to a certain point.

                Anyone know a good way to read the blockchain off the disk in LevelDB format?

                    That look familiar Tuck?

                    It’s using the QT client as it’s source for the Blockchain. You have to do a little configuring and reindexing of your QT client, but it’s a one time operation and didn’t take more than 20 minutes to reindex everything on disk.

                    And with that, Phase 1 is COMPLETE.

                    It’s official: Link is alive. Code is WORKING!

                    Here’s what we have so far:
                    Link protocol encoding for all data and meta-data types
                    Automatic posting of Link transactions to your blockchain of choice via your QT wallet (you’ll need funds in your wallet)
                    Link protocol decoding for all data and meta-data types
                    Automatic scanning of your blockchain of choice via your QT wallet for Link protocol data.
                    Unit tests to demonstrate round trip publishing, and subsequent reading.

                    And so begins Phase 2.

                    The goal of Phase 2 is to provide a user interface for the above functionality, specifically publishing and searching.

                    The publish mechanism should allow you to enter in any or all of the data and meta-data fields, and spend the transaction on your behalf. For now we’re going to stick to magnet links, but later versions can do whole files.

                    The searching should contain a persistent disk based index of previously scanned Link data, so that upon startup it will only need to scan what it hasn’t seen before. Fortunately this seems to be pretty quick with small blockchains like Feathercoins. I can’t immagine Bitcoin is going to be as fast, but you can take shortcuts like say, “Well, there’s no data before block X, so we’ll just skip everything before X.” which can make it feasible. It should allow the user to search any of the meta-data, and execute any payloads chosen by the user.

                    This interface will be a web based interface, but you will run it locally so it can talk to your client. It will require a little bit of manual installation steps, but nothing that can’t be distilled into a README and performed by well trained monkeys like Tuck here (I bro-love you man).

                    After that, Phase 3 can begin, but I won’t reveal what’s in store for that just yet.

                    I’ll keep you posted. :)

                          The more I look at it, the more I love it. Can I get the psd/ai? And any chance iawgoM might work his magic using it in conjunction with the block-chain? Because I can’t get enough of that either, so I’m hoping this will be a whoops your peanut butter just got all over my chocolate moment.

                            Great news… the test with 0.1 fee confirmed within a minute.

                            [url=http://explorer.feathercoin.com/tx/db31547ef607484dd58ce76a99f1aa93cb263b5e19e3a247f4de80a84e60c6a8]http://explorer.feathercoin.com/tx/db31547ef607484dd58ce76a99f1aa93cb263b5e19e3a247f4de80a84e60c6a8[/url]

                              Make a good API and I can think of a billion uses.

                              Like Feathercoin supporting domain registration.

                              All it would need is interpreters of the data.

                                The more I look at it, the more I love it. Can I get the psd/ai? And any chance iawgoM might work his magic using it in conjunction with the block-chain? Because I can’t get enough of that either, so I’m hoping this will be a whoops your peanut butter just got all over my chocolate moment.

                                            Kevlar,

                                            Now that you’re on to UI - I’d love to help out.

                                            What I’d need is:

                                            Window Size - if you plan on browser, or browser-window-in something. Good to restrict early on.
                                            Pages - I’m guessing there’d be a Submit - Search - FAQ - About
                                            Fields - For Submit + Search

                                            Another idea I had - it might be cool to have a entry field that asks for Creative Commons license. Eventually, LINK could also act as a source of CC content. This could get added on to keywords, but in the submit page rest as its own field.

                                            CC licenses utilize a space - so I think we’d have to figure out how to circumvent it?

                                            Ie
                                            CC BY = CC.BY
                                            CC BY-ND = CC.BY-ND

                                            Then that gets added to the end of the keyword meta - kitten,surprise,lulz,CC.BY-ND

                                            And when searching - you can search by CC license.
