Actually I think I might have a better idea. I would code a small voting proxy/bot that polls either nubits or bitcoin block chain and seeks for special messages implanted by me and signed by me that would instruct the PoS ASIC to vote. However, that would only be possible under the assumption that Nu daemon has RPCs for motion voting.
edit:
setvote < vote > is probably what I would need.
Not the same as being open source unfortunately. Many projects or services will need to make modifications to the code for it to work in their implementation, or add needed features. For instance @erasmospunk wasn’t able to add NuBits to Coinomi until we had made an update to the code and compiled a custom binary for him. This update had to be added to Peercoin as well. Having the right values or a pre-build library is not the same as having access to the code. It seriously inhibits the work of developers.
Coinbase is a company that works on top of an open source project. If bitcoin wasn’t open source they probably wouldn’t be able to provide the service that they do. I don’t think it’s an apples to apples comparison. NuNet is more of a protocol, or a set of rules. Like TCP/IP, or HTML. Having that open set of rules allows people to build services and products on top of it. By opening up the source code we’ll allow people to build services and products on top of NuNet. Especially noting my former remark that they may need to make a customization to the software itself for their own purposes.
That’s fine, and my apologies if I misinterpreted the remarks. It still doesn’t resolve having more eyes on the code and development before more complexities are added. it doesn’t give us widespread trust in the eyes of crypto enthusiasts. It doesn’t allow developers the ability to customize the code for their own projects and services to work with Nu. It literally just adds two exchanges to the list. Considering we’re having enough of a difficult time finding LPC’s I don’t think adding a couple of exchanges to our list would provide much of a benefit. We need other creative people building services and uses for NuBits. To me that would be a bigger boost than adding a couple of exchanges. Why not just go open source and let them add us at their leisure? If we have more services available that support NuBits (besides exchanges) it would be in their best interest to add us anyway.
This is the finalize motion to make the Nu source code open to the public. For more information about this proposal, and to view discussions about what items some community members belived should be completed on the development roadmap before they will vote for this motion, see:
I officially just completed reading the entire NuBits forum, currently 787 threads with 10,500 posts, many of them very lengthy and detailed. It took me around 5 weeks of constant reading, 5-6 hours on weekdays (around my work schedule) and pretty much all day on the weekends. I never thought it would take me this long, but I’m done!
Anyway, I saved this thread as the last thing to read on the forum. Coming into it, I was prepared to vote against it, as I’ve been worried about clones popping up and stealing our thunder. However, @CoinGame’s arguments have surprisingly convinced me to vote in favor of open sourcing Nu. By reading some of these posts, it has become clear to me that there is some danger in not open sourcing soon. I won’t repost the reasons here. Just look for his posts above, as they explain it better than I ever could.
Found one of the tweets. People know about Nu. People want to work with Nu. NuShares holders are actively pushing them out if they vote no to open source.
@BittrexExchange@richiela would love to see you guys eventually try nubits/alt markets, but please list nushares asap.
Yeah, same with me. If you read one of my posts earlier in this thread, I was talking about open sourcing maybe 6 months from now. Funny how fast things change.
I think we’re going to plateau again tomorrow. Pleasantly surprised to see the progress today. Glad more shareholders recognize the importance of passing this milestone now.
