They say a picture is worth a thousand words… well here’s mine:
[/quote]Excellent.

And with these two lines:

[/quote]I used the Javascript console in Chrome to embed Ubuntu into the Blockchain. A minute later, when I saw that the send had confirmed, I searched the blockchain, and found it. Web publishing and searching is complete.
All that remains is to put a pretty face on it.

+1 rep Kevlar. I’ll go easy in the +1ing now (I’ve realised I get to give more then +1 rep per 24hrs now [i]I think…[/i])
But anyway, you’re spectacular. We need more Kevlars and Zerodrama’s here ahy.

Wow this is getting done extremely quickly! Keep up the good work.

Sent 5 FTC Kevlar :) love the work you are doing

Holy shtitzu! Thanks dude. I wasn’t expecting that!Let’s go nuts with google apis!
I’ll do a draft in PSD before transforming. Sound good?
[/quote]Yes please. It’s always easier to make change in Photoshop. There’s more where that came from, I’m happy to give away most of what I’ve received to see this though.
[/quote] Kevlar your the real deal. Respect! -
I am so excited to see how fast this project has come along! I am still going to send 50 more FTC once I can use a GUI to find that torrent: "Away from keyboard "

[/quote]We’re precious days away from that. The search is working cool, although I want to make it cooler (notification based), and the pretty colors are being assembled. Stay tuned, because it won’t be long now.

One thing: I’ve been covertly telling people about this and telling them to watch this and the technical discussion thread.
How soon after do you want us to get loud and start getting people’s attention? After an alpha testing period, or longer?
-
January. We will need the holidays for testing and bug squashing.
So last night I made web search completely asynchronus, which means results will appear in the web browser as soon as they are found instead of waiting for all the results to be found. Right now that’s pretty much instantaneous, but as the database size grows I expect it to take longer. This also means a live feed of data that’s being posted is trivial, so I’ll do that too.
mnstrcck has come up with a great design and I believe is working on the HTML and CSS for it, or at least will be soon. Once that’s complete, there’s nothing standing between us and a beta test.
I’ve been thinking about how to make it a hosted service: You can search for free, but to publish, you enter your message, it computes your total, and gives you an address to send to with an amount, usually little more than a couple satoshi’s plus the miner’s fee. When it sees that address in a block, it spends it to do the publish.
What do you think? That means no silly install bullshit, just use the web page, and send your coins to publish. I’m thinking that would be a lot better, anyone agree?

[/quote]That sounds like a solid idea to me. Would be quick and easy to use for sure. If eventually Link is going to be used for a lot of different coins, do you plan on having them all work through your online client? I’d imagine if this gets really popular then you’d probably need to get some decent servers to support the load.

[/quote]Indeed. I’ve been thinking about how to expose that in the UI… namely a series of Checkboxes for the supported coins. They would be on by default, so you could search across coins with one search, and when you publish it’ll give you an address for each coin.

[/quote]I guess we can burn that bridge when we come to it. For those who are blocked, installing the client locally is still an option.

I just donated 5 for cause!
Keep up the good work ;)

I’ll add that to my Crypto playlist on youtube.

Whoa, I just watched this video. Awesome!
I got inspired by Kevlar’s work behind the scenes and made a CSS file to fix the search results.
It’s in the thing Kevlar [I’m super new to Github everyone, and clicking on everything sounds like a bad idea].Now it’s time for sleep.

Progress report:
Last night mnstrcck got me the publish HTML, (LOOKS SOOOOO GOOD!!!) so I got that integrated, AND I got hosted publishing working too, although the UI’s not done yet. Still futzing around with JQuery UI.
Basically you tell it what you want to publish, and you get two options: Send it yourself (here’s the addresses), or send this amount to a single address, and It’ll publish for you. Of course I managed to tie up about half my balance with a coding mistake that had me removing sent messages from the wrong database, but that’s not important… what is important is that it works as a hosted service as well as a local one, and no one need give me more coins than the cost of publishing. It’s also completely anonymous, since you can just put in what you want published, send to the publish address, and walk away.
We’re on target for a Christmas release here… although I’m going to need a domain name to host it at. Any suggestions?

The Canon t2i in the studio (2 rooms over) was a bit overkill.
