I’ve also been busy with other things for the last month and a half. I just now downloaded my e-mail since the beginning of April. I mostly have things sorted and should be back to Bitcoin shortly. Glad that you’ve been handling things in my absence. Congrats on your first transaction!
As I recall, the code was nearly ready for a 0.3 release. I think all it needed was a little testing time and to install the new icon xpm.
The JSON API functions are complete. I wanted to take another fresh look at them in case I think of any better function names before committing. I ought to write some sample code showing the proper way to use them, particularly with polling for received transactions. When I left off, I was thinking about bolting a payment mechanism onto a free upload server software as an example. It would make sense to actually build one practical application with the API before releasing it. You don’t realise the problems with an API until you actually try to use it.

Hi!
How are you doing? Haven’t seen you around in a while.
I’ve been at full-time work lately, and will be until the end of June, so I haven’t had that much time to work with Bitcoin or my exchange service. I have a working beta of my service though, and a few weeks ago made my first transaction: sold 10,000 btc for 20 euros via EU bank transfer. Maybe I can make it public soon.
I divided the forum into 6 boards, which are Bitcoin Discussion, Development & Technical Discussion, Technical support, Economics, Marketplace and Trading Discussion. Hope this is ok?
I also added a page “Trade” on the bitcoin.org site, where btc-accepting services are listed. It’s nice to see that there are already useful services that accept btc.
The community has been growing nicely. We’ve had around 10-20 people and active discussion at #bitcoin-dev lately.
It would be nice to get the daemon-able binaries to SF.net. We have some skilled programmers in the community now, so maybe we can finish the JSON API functions if you don’t have time to.
Best regards.
