Smed provides a summary of the development process and status to myself. The system has a functional escrow management core that moves BTC between users as shoppers and merchants. Team 1 is fine-tuning the system to prevent errors while Team 2 is working on the vendor management portion, though it was delayed. Smed has refactored the foundational code and abstracted the concepts. While behind initial estimates, Smed believes bringing in more help can help catch up.

thanks, just wanted to check in with you. can you give
me a quick rundown of where we've been, where we are, where we are going in the development process? I'm getting a bit disoriented as new things have come up since we began and I don't have anything tangible to orient around.
(2012-05-15 14:44) smed:
Sorry about that. My bad completely
(2012-05-15 14:44) myself:
no worries, we don't exactly have the most freedom
communication wise
(2012-05-15 14:45) smed:
exactly!! I'm glad you see it.. Normally, my
development process is quite open. The nature of the firewall between you and the rest of the world has left a large gap in my normal way of doing things and my habits have not been suffificently corrected to make that extra step
(2012-05-15 14:46) smed:
Where we are..
(2012-05-15 14:46) smed:
We have a fully functional "escrow management
system" in it's most raw form
(2012-05-15 14:46) smed:
it moves BTC between users, in both roles as shoppers
and merchants
(2012-05-15 14:47) smed:
admin/overlord role has the power to do anything it
wants as far as approving or rejecting transactions
(2012-05-15 14:48) smed:
this 'system' in it's current form is going through some
fine tooth comb work right now to ensure that nothing has been missed when it comes to decimal places, confirmations etc

(2012-05-15 14:49) smed:
existing test results have shown a high degree of
accuracy in reguards to all transactions
(2012-05-15 14:49) smed:
i have not yet been able to cheat the system, however
those final tests (trying to cheat) have not been marked as complete yet because we have not let cimon loose on it ;)
(2012-05-15 14:51) smed:
That side of the project is Team 1
...
(2012-05-15 14:54) smed:
Team 2 is working on the more public side of the
shopping system
(2012-05-15 14:54) smed:
the vendor management piece
(2012-05-15 14:54) smed:
I have had several set backs and delays in the vendor
part and that side was behind for about 3 weeks due to the moron factor
(2012-05-15 14:55) smed:
however, team 2 came through last week with part 2 of
3 ...
(2012-05-15 15:04) smed:
really where i'm at is this..
(2012-05-15 15:04) smed:
I have replaced your entire foundation.. i probably
have a little bit more efficient approach only because hindsight is 20/20 ...
(2012-05-15 15:07) myself:
always good to get a fresh set of eyes on a problem
(2012-05-15 15:07) smed:
exactly
(2012-05-15 15:07) smed:
from what I have seen.. if you did it right now i dont
think you would change much from what i'm doing
(2012-05-15 15:07) smed:
i've focused a lot on abstraction of the concepts
2
qw76fdz2c43ok2mo.log
(2012-05-15 15:08) smed:
making each one of them a bit more accessable
individually
(2012-05-15 15:08) smed:
but the concepts are yours either way
...
(2012-05-15 15:17) myself:
well, I'm not one to hold your feet to the fire on
estimates, I know you are working hard, but are we behind our intial estimate at this point?
(2012-05-15 15:18) smed:
I'm going to be testing the latest submission tonight
and tomorrow.. the order management stuff.. will know more about that side afterwards
(2012-05-15 15:19) smed:
I am a little behind on part, but some of the additional
code work (ykey etc) will allow me to catch up
(2012-05-15 15:19) myself:
how does additional work equal catching up?
(2012-05-15 15:20) smed:
because i'm bringing in more people to help me
(2012-05-15 15:20) myself:
ahh
(2012-05-15 15:21) smed:
Just so it's said.. I have lots of motivation to get this
