When I go quiet... it's 'cos I'm building stuff

in #hive-1103693 years ago

I was going to pay someone to do all this but then the Canadian Truckers showed me Tallyco.in which @apshamilton wrote about last week.

Looking at how simple TallyCoin was (the Lightning and BTC donation site they were using), I thought I could use it as my front end. That would remove a huge amount of complexity from the job of accepting arbitrary Lightning payments and converting them to Hive or HBD.

I flew into my code and worked on the back end for accepting Lightning payments and turning them instantly into Hive. That's not very different from what I do for streaming Sats to podcasters, but it was a relatively big re-write of some of my code.

I hate Javascript, Vue and all Front End Work

Then I turned to writing the front end. I'm not good at this. @ausbitbank built my current lnd.v4v.app app but I know I need to learn how to do this stuff so I'm working on making this work.

And it kinda does!

I have probably decided NOT to use TallyCoin in the end. I have issues with getting their API to work and this morning they seemed to be down completely.

At the moment I'm developing within my own network so my connection to the Lightning node is easy, that will have to be made to work over the internet but I think I see how to do that with a very lightweight relay server out on the internet pointing to the lightning node. I can also see how this can be distributed and controled by Hive so that if the external API server is ddos'ed or taken down by a Government, Hive can send a command and control signal and all the clients will point to a new one.

I'm in Canada.. crypto exchange is going to be very important especially since on and off ramps are being suffocated and crowd funding has to go through communism.

youll be a criminal for using any crypto soon lol

better get on @darqhive

that's sad.
I try to argue to BTC maxis on Twitter on that. Answer 1btc is 1btc. But if you cant sell, it has no value in real-world :P

Other than the canadian truckers aspect that nearly made me click away, this is a really cool thing you have here. Do you think TallyCoin is just plain flawed or you hit them at a bad time?

They've built something great for sure but on reflection I want something even more decentralized.

It's more work now but it will be worth it.

Yeah I can see that, there is definitely a tension in most of the new apps/technologies between functionality and decentralization. Not sure if most Hivers are aware just how well-built Hive actually is, for all our gripes!

Wow! So I can’t get away from learning more about lightning 😂
I am very excited about all the new things going on 🙏🙏😊

Nice one on the project to keep hives engine going in d future even if the government try to take API server of crypto, Nice project on lightening hives

cool, i wish i could make cool valuable stuff for hive

why not just use swap.BTC tho?

oh i see you are BUYING HIVE tokens with lightening network

whose hive account is used for the liquid hive? and does it refill from buying more swap.HIVE with swap>BTC or something or do u got a pool?

good job!

One step closer in the right direction :)

do development in steemit also

Lol

I'll think about it when Justin returns the stolen money.

Just supported the Proposal #201 -> "Continuation: Hive to Value 4 Value - The Hive <> Bitcoin Lightning Bridge"
Don't know how I missed this in all these months.
Very interesting work!
Well done...

Converting BTC to Hive with Java script will be hard all less you have the procedure.

Good stuff I like the post ! Will definitely follow id like to be able to learn how to program if you have any starter guides I should look into let me know!

You may never run out of things to build...

We need a sports betting platform built. I didn't understand 1 word of this post therefore I'm assuming you're smart enough to build it.

you are great friend. your trail on hive is great. should be exemplary.

It really good seeing people here developing something useful for the world especially app that related to exchange of crypto. It will be something useful to the people.keep the good work

The amount is already prefixed. Makes it simple to quicky choose an amount, if the number you need is different then you input yourself. The sat is just over 1000, under $0.50. it so impressive !

That's pretty cool and a work well-done. I really appreciate your efforts towards developing stuffs like this, keep up the good work.

@brianoflondon look what I just discovered while browsing through HiveBuzz! Obviously there is work in progress on a new Badge: „Crypto Maniacs Podcast Guest“. How cool!

Reminds me of the idea of creating a more general Podcasting badge like „Podcast on Hive“ or „V4V Podcaster“ or something like that. That would certainly drive the community. We only need a designer for the badge and someone who does the setup work. Is that something you need a official proposal for? 🤔

Many Greetings from Germany

PS: The episode in german @michatogofuchs and me recently recorded is ready now. We’re explaining blockchain, Value for Value Podcasting and how you as a Podcaster can earn Hive through posting on Hive/PeakD. Confident this will raise some excitement in the German podcasting community.✌🏻

Will send you a link once it is live.
