Since it appears to be in popular demand here is the official Java Client Progress thread!

Well, since everyone is asking for when the new client will be finished. I thought I'd go ahead and give you guys a update.

Here I've laid out all parts of the new client in easy to understand(yet somewhat vague) progress bars!

Feature List:
Core Daemon Functionality - <=============================> 100%
Core Multi-Coin Support - <=============================> 100%
ExcaliburDB (Custom Ntree Database software made specifically for GoldCoin (GLD)!) - <===========================> 95%
MemoryHardener (In-Memory Client Data Obsufication) - <==> 10%
GUI (Will be sleek  :o) - <==> 5%
ConnectionHandler - <=============================> 100%
NIO-Server - <=============================> 100%
Cryption Support (see below list on supported ciphers) - <===========================> 90%
Multi-Threaded - <===========================> 90%
Support up to 1024 concurrent connections - <=============================> 100%
On-the-fly Network Compression - <=============================> 70%
Storage Compression - <=============================> 80%
Faster Block Verification - <=> 1%
Faster Block Download - <=============================> 70%
Pause/Start/Reload/Restart Client/Daemon(It is actually possible to modify configuration without having to restart your daemon/client!!!) - <=============================> 100%
ZFS Mentality (Infinitely expandable memory types/No clock limits) - <===========================> 90%
Event Manager - <=======> 55%
LoggingHandler - <=======> 55%
Hidden Feature.. :-X - <====> 15%
Android Support   - <===========================> 90%
Easy XML based Configuration - <====> 15%
Daemon and GUI in one application - <=============================> 100%
Mining Support Built-in(you will be able to mine multiple coins at the same time with just this one client!!!) - <====> 15%


Supported Encryption Modes:

Padding Support:

Symmetric Cipher Support:

Asymmetric Cipher Support:

Digest Support:

MAC Support:

PBE Support:

Note for obvious reasons not all encryption modes can be intermixed.. We do however support the vastest set of encryption modes in all of cryptocurrency!

Also note that due to key space issues we strongly suggest you thoroughly think through your encryption cascades before hand.

What a progress report I would like to say thanks for all the hard work.
I know people are getting restless to see it don't let that bother you quality is the number one thing here.
Quality will be what separates GoldCoin from the others I have been watching GoldCoin since you took it over and I am impressed there has been many come and gone are you sure you're not (akumaburn Satoshi Nakamoto)  ;)

Thanks a lot again akumaburn
and all the team keep up the good work.

Updated post..

Sorry about the delay.. I worked mainly on legacy support and the database so their wasn't much on this list for me to advance.

Title: Re: Progress Thread
Post by: tadspoles on July 20, 2014, 01:15:44 PM
You have a lot of features in this first java release.  I wonder if it would be better to lower the number of features and finish a smaller version with increments like a fancy gui,etc coming as updates.

Well im glad I finally found this page.  :)

Very nice progress bars, its like watching the bar in windows when your copying, we all know its not precise but at least it gives something to stare at while you wait.

I see the last update was on the 20th of this month, a new little update would be nice, just to show its still going.  ;)

I just want to reiterate that im very excited about this coin and I have spoken to a few people about it to invest into what I believe has the potential to be the number one coin.  :)

To the Developers - Im sure I can say we all appreciate the work you guys are putting in and really looking forward to the end product.  ;D

Any news yet on when the wallet will be ready ?

I did notice there was an edit on the 6 Aug by Microguy, but I compared the bars to the previous update from the 20 July and they where exactly the same.

Was there any changes done ?

Yes, there is progress being made.  :D

Akumaburn stated in the Facebook group on Wednesday that the client would be ready for beta testing soon. This is a massive undertaking and it's taking a bit longer than originally planned.
Title: Re: Progress Thread
Post by: kreno777 on August 10, 2014, 02:07:40 PM
Great  :)

I just dont use facebook that much and prefer the forum, to be honest.

With all those features im sure its a big undertaking, so i totally understand the time needed.

I am on my side trying to get more people interested in GoldCoin, and having some new news to share helps allot.

Is there anyway i can be included in for the Beta testing ?  ;D

Sure! We can always use the help of the community in beta testing new products.

There will also be some extra network infrastructure built around the new client that will require testing. These new tools should position us well to make a run at Bitcoin.

I have already shared with some people and the excitement is really growing.

Thank You.
Title: Re: Progress Thread
Post by: akumaburn on August 17, 2014, 10:53:32 PM
Worked some more on legacy support.

Also made a dependancy change to improve client EC performance.

I'm sorry this project thread is ending up like one of those windows loading bars where the length of the bar has nothing to do with how much time is left.

Soon folks soon.

I won't disappoint.  8)

Post by: kreno777 on August 18, 2014, 03:39:01 PM
Hi akumaburn

Thanks for the update, the bars might feel like the windows loading bars, but when you look at your hard drive light and it continues flickering, you know that something is happening,  this is what your update means, and it gives me a good feeling to know that things haven't frozen up.  ;)  ;D

I am truly very excited about this project and if its anything close to what has been promised I believe you have a winner here.

Goldcoin has something great, and im excited to be a part of it.

So Thank You and keep it up !!!  :)

Would it be advisable to wait for the new client before downloading the wallet in order to move coins off of Cryptsy?

It's safe to download the wallet now and move coins off Cryptsy. Just be sure to backup your wallet.dat file and store it somewhere in a safe place.
Title: Re: Progress Thread
Post by: kreno777 on September 01, 2014, 04:54:58 AM
I noticed in the Goldroom chat that the secret feature of the wallet is the ability to back Goldcoins with Physical Gold directly.
This is great, i would however like to know if this is the case would it be possible to back it with another precious metal eg: Silver or is it to Gold only ?

I am glad to see that progress is been made and want to thank everyone at this forum for all the input they are making every where across the internet. I seem to be finding more and more mention of Goldcoin popping up.

This is Good !!!

Also this article :
http://www.forbes.com/sites/edmundingham/2014/08/11/a-crypto-currency-backed-by-gold-how-retail-gold-investors-can-benefit-from-bitcoins-technology/

and

http://insidebitcoins.com/business-accepts-only-cryptocurrencies/

speaks of people moving away from fiat currency and using Crypto to purchase Gold Bullion, Its very impressive to see that Goldcoin isnt just talking about it but has it coded into there new wallet.

Staying well ahead of the curve. :)

Hi,

Sorry, there are no new updates to report of.

Been busy IRL and I had to waste two days recently setting up my VMs for testing the client on.

Plan on resuming work on the client tommorow.

I was looking at https://cryptothrift.com/ yesterday and followed the link where they mentioned being on Yahoo news. It looks like they used a wire service to disseminate their initial press release.  This is the company they used: http://www.accesswire.com/how_it_works.aspx

Maybe this is something we could do to publicize the new client once it nears beta release.

I registered with them about an hour ago.
They dont seem to have any pricing on there site, so im just waiting for them to get back to me and i will request some pricing. If the pricing is good it could be an excellent way of getting the news out for the new wallet.

Did we ever figure out what this company charges for their services.
I still think this is a great idea I would be willing to pitch in on it if we can figure out the exact cost if it's reasonable.

Here's the latest news on the client from the Facebook Group!  8)

Quote from: Akumaburn
I have some good news.. and some bad news. Good news is that the client is progressing nicely.. bad news is that the GUI's extensive functionality has thrown off my schedule. I now estimate the beta to come out on either October 31st or November 2nd. Essentially 5-7 days later than planned. That being said however.. I'd rather not leave you guys dry. I know you expected a video today.. well I made one for you. Sorry for the delay ;(

I think after this push, Amir needs to see if he can get others to do some of the work.  Honestly he shouldn't even need to work on a gui.  I personally feel it's beneath his talent level. 

I can't imagine Satoshi having to spend a minute on a gui design.  I'm sure he did at one point but any time he had to spend on it was a loss for the whole community in my opinion.

Not that it's not very important work with a meaningful effect but it's just not on the level of creating a 51% attack defense, etc.

One thing's for sure. Akumaburn will know this client inside and out, which will come in handy as he oversees the coming wave of contributing developers.

Now could be GoldCoin's time.  Bitcoin certainly isn't appearing as strong and there is room in this here market for growth of a coin with real development behind it.

The people that thought GoldCoin was a one trick pony, copy-cat clone are in for a rude awakening.

I think we've got a chance here to go "all the way". Amir might very well be the most underestimated developer in all of cryptocurrency.
