mjr___: So this is a rough draft first start

mjr___: personal views on bitcoin related things, i guess to summarize

mjr___: as far as content, it WILL be stuff related to bitcoin, my views on the current news of bitcoin, my ideas about future projects...

mjr___: truff1es: harsh is fine

mjr___: can't get comments to work right yet

mjr___: work in progress

mjr___: check out my new blog post at blog.btcshares.com

mjr___: hey all, if you are interested

mjr___: any JS devs here

mjr___: sup everyone

mjr___: http://thecodebarbarian.wordpress.com/ this is somewhat of a rough guide to the design philosophy

mjr___: so...back to work, feel free to play around, you should see new features popping up

mjr___: i built that first example but it didn't have all the backend functionality i wanted

mjr___: rough idea is, people show up and can easily update their orders pretty much in real time

mjr___: and i have a rough wirefram mockup too...http://imgur.com/nu1YoOh

mjr___: to have this up by monday

mjr___: well, i am trying to do a hackathon attempt

mjr___: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5ZviIIaT7_kZ0VDNkJtSnljZms/edit?usp=sharing this is an old design of mine, and roughly what it should look like when done

mjr___: and i also need to add an entire user system...geez, this is kinda a long process

mjr___: https://github.com/joshuarossi/buttonwood

mjr___: feel free to check out the github

mjr___: but finding out where the error is will take more time i think

mjr___: i've got a lot of stuff working pretty quickly

mjr___: this is the blessing and curse of using other peoples shit

mjr___: so all my changes auto update

mjr___: i am using nodemon

mjr___: yeah, but it doesn't make a difference

mjr___: and then put in an angular front end

mjr___: so that all changes happen in real time

mjr___: get socket.io running

mjr___: next i split into bids and asks

mjr___: this is the most basic version

mjr___: yes, it does

mjr___: right now i am getting basic functionality up and running

mjr___: i don't mind

mjr___: feel free to play around

mjr___: thanks for helping me test

mjr___: its all good

mjr___: if anyone else is looking, order updates don't work yet

mjr___: and not in the best way yet

mjr___: this so far only has mongo and nodejs working

mjr___: if anyone feels like watching my bumbling progress, http://54.214.31.74/

mjr___: well, some progress made

mjr___: very nice

mjr___: no s.dice divs yet?

mjr___: adrian childers comment

mjr___: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BitcoinNYC/

mjr___: though i think toddlers understand it quite well

mjr___: free market apparently is like phd level stuff or something

mjr___: why bother trying to control everyone?

mjr___: since anyone can simply jump in front anyway

mjr___: that is a retarded idea

mjr___: i was like i completely disagree with you

mjr___: the guy was like, we should all coordinate a fixed price

mjr___: mircea_popescu: by the way, the facebook comment i directed you too was very sad

mjr___: i am going to start by setting up the node.js server

mjr___: its on github

mjr___: benkay: i just pushed out an updated readme

mjr___: i think version 1 will be rough, but then we can add geolocation, so if someone isn't there, their orders will be grayed out (as they couldn't be acted upon anywy)

mjr___: simply a tool, to help facilitate real life transactions

mjr___: but i think i can have it up by monday

mjr___: not one line of code written yet

mjr___: yes of course

mjr___: should be very easy to implement, so if philadelphians or chicagoans want to duplicate it, they could easily

mjr___: mongodb, express, angularjs, nodejs

mjr___: going to use what is called a MEAN stack

mjr___: basically it is trying to maintain a level 2 book in real time synched across 20 mobile devices

mjr___: so we will have market data

mjr___: hopefully then, when people update their order to show that they have closed a sale, it will generate a print on our tape

mjr___: so $20 = x bitcoins

mjr___: since change is a hassle in fiat

mjr___: it will also convert all orders into denomminations of $10 or $20

mjr___: i might place a "hold" feature on the site, so you can show that someone is taking an offer or a bid

mjr___: not using the website

mjr___: but if you find someone, you "match" in real life

mjr___: and they can place an order in front of it if they want

mjr___: so as people join us in the park, they know our local best bid and ask

mjr___: as well as update those prices in basically real time

mjr___: i want to give them a site where they can advertise their prices

mjr___: i have maybe 20 people meeting in union square on monday at 4pm

mjr___: for example:

mjr___: that is entirely p2p

mjr___: we are not clearing or settling

mjr___: so bots can't really do well

mjr___: should have API, but at the same time...it is cash settled immediateely

mjr___: basically, a website optimized for a mobile device, where you can update your orders quickly

mjr___: an easy way of all keeping track of what orders you have out etc

mjr___: this is meant for a group of people in the same location at the same time

mjr___: so, it basically assumes that you will coordinate amongst yourself

mjr___: localbitcoin is for finding people

mjr___: well, yes, similar but in some ways completely different

mjr___: any comments or suggestions?

mjr___: i hope that we can get distributed and decentralized exchanges that will be easy to use

mjr___: so 2 day hackathon lol

mjr___: i'm going to hopefully try it out in a park in new york on monday

mjr___: so hopefully anyone anywhere can just say "me meet at location x at time y" and then they have an order book for advertising prices

mjr___: very simple to use

mjr___: easy to use level 2 book, maybe geolocation features

mjr___: basically a website which will try to facilitate IRL bitcoin exchanges
