[PASSED] Custodial grant to rebuild NuBits.com

[CoinGame]

I have no updates regarding timelines. Any content updates can be worked on now though. Just do it in markdown and it should be a simple copy/paste job into the sites source code when it’s ready.

[CoinGame]

Site conversion is completed.

You can see a live version of the github page here:

http://nunetwork.github.io/NuBits.com/

The source code is available here:

NuNetwork/nunetwork.github.io

If anyone has time please play around with the live version of the site to help make sure things are working. When we’re confident with what we have here we can begin transitioning the nubits.com domain to utilize the github page.

From that point anyone can help update content on the website by submitting a pull request to the repo. Merged code will automatically update on nubits.com

awesome.

It looks aswesome and at first glance exactly like the original site!

I will, but can’t make that right now.
Is raising issues at https://github.com/NuNetwork/NuBits.com/issues the preferred way to list findings with things that don’t work like expected?

Do you know of a guide how to host such a repo as live site?
Cloning the repo, playing with it and adjusting it before pull requests are made would be a good way to test changes before they go live.
But I haven’t done such a thing before…

Nice!

Yes raise issues using the issues feature on the repo.[quote=“masterOfDisaster, post:37, topic:3564”]

At the top right of the repo you can “fork” the repo. This will make a copy of the repo in your own personal repo list on github. For the page to be rendered you must make an edit to one of the existiing files, but after that you can access your own personal copy of the site at http://<YourGithubUsername>.github.io/NuBits.com/. From there you should be able to make edits and submit those edits as pull requests to be merged into the live site. Hopefully we’ll put together a more through document on the process, but that’s the gist of it.

[masterOfDisaster]

Thank you! I’ll give it a try. Wasn’t aware that it’s that simple - at least it sounds simple…

[CoinGame]

The goal was to make the site incredibly easy for anyone with basic coding skills (or simple markdown skills) to update. GitHub hosting it for free is a plus.

[masterOfDisaster]

Sure, I was aware that updates were meant to be easier.
But I wasn’t aware that forking and running the site would be easy as well. Maybe I should with that assessment until I really tried, though - just in case I can, almost anybody can

[CoinGame]

I’m not sure if a thread has been started but it’s a great time to start discussing content changes to the site. Anyone familiar with using markdown can assist in the content creation, and others with more experience using github can assist in plugging it into the right place. It’s going to take a bit of time to figure out how SCF formatted the Jekyll structure but it looks pretty well partitioned and should be easy to update.

[CoinGame]

NuBits.com is now being served directly from the github repo. Changes made to the master branch of https://github.com/NuNetwork/nunetwork.github.io will immediately be reflected on the main website.

Certain Nu neteork operations relies on the forum to conduct, such as multisig tx signing. At critical times there should be a contingency plan if the forum has a chance to be unavailable.

[CoinGame]

the chatroom is always available and not subject to downtimes of the site or forum

[CoinGame]

So this process is now officially complete. I will say that I had to pay the remaining bill to SCF out of pocket since i’m unable to convert the NBT granted to me into BTC. @ryanschmidt can confirm that they have received the final payment. I will be holding onto the remaining 1500 NBT from the custodial grant.

but the signed transactions and even deposit addresses can only be found on the forum.

[ryanschmidt]

Confirmed receipt. Thanks again guys for the opportunity. We look forward to working together in the future.

I would recommend to always have at least two methods of communication available for mission-critical operations like you describe.

The forums have experienced 99.99% uptime over the past two years, but it’s an amateur run and self-financed operation and I cannot and will not make a promise of 100% availability.

Sorry for the inconvenience that this may bring.

I would recommend to always have at least two methods of communication available for mission-critical operations like you describe.

that is good advice. the forum allows productive communication. Is there a way to automatically copy the text to a separate server as an archive/information backup?

[Ben]

Discourse has an API and everything that you can read is available to be scrapped, so it’s certainly possible.

[jooize]

Automatic backups are configured, right?

[CoinGame]

Yes the forum is automatically backed up to an AWS box.
