Website Overhaul
-
Vote to move this to team area?
-
no need let the people speak up
-
(This is our coin so we shouldn’t have to chase all over the net trying to find all the relevant info and tools to mine it - and neither should any new miners.)
I could not agree more on this.
-
I agree. Lets get it fixed :)
-
Can we get Kete access to the website?
-
Maybe if NeoScrypt.net and the new website design/mod can be done in tandem. Many things on the website will need to also be on Neo.
-
Picking up Kete’s point about missing links to miners on the main page, there are links to the wallet on the main page, but for example I can’t see them in opera, as I dont get the full page displayed.
We need to test at least the main page with different browsers on different operating systems, to make sure, that the important elements are visible on the page.
Worst case we must switch to different pages based on browser and version.
-
yes, we need a resources navigation on homepage.
-
OK guys, I cross compiled sgminer successfully. Time to move to the website.
I’ll upload sgimer as well and then, I will start writing the intro text immediately. I’ll hand it in to Dave once it is done.
-
The intro was written. It is being reviewed for approval!
The next step is to write a document about innovations done for FTC. Then, I think we can demolish the first page.
-
If our website can realize tip, it is a pioneering work
-
Progress is good on the new website, I’ll have something to show you all soon. :)
-
Just as we do for code. TESTNET it.
Drop a demo template somewhere on the server and lets have a go at it.You can always move a index link later on.
Yeah, we need to do something. Im not seeing a favorable site here. I see dead images and dead links to the blockexporer and such. No good.
-
I have a development site. I don’t have any more time to devote to it right now.
-
There is no monopoly on feathercoin. Feel free to create your own services and invite people to use them.
-
Who has admin privs on the CMS for the website?
Can you create an account for me? I’m just going to go ahead and start editing pages. I have nominal experience with WP, but I can do front end.
PM the details.
-
I have some updates to do on the site. I’ll set you up once they are done. :)
-
Anything happening with this, it is mad to not have theFTC blockchain explorer running.
-
Id be willing to help. Problem is one of the admins says he’s got a fix in the works but I still dont see changes months later. Im not seeing any images other than the banner in icecat, maybe thats an icecat issue, maybe not. Im available FULL TIME but even someone HALF-TIME should be able to update the website.Most of the work is done for you.
The admin says that there is underlying issues with the way the site is setup. I dont believe it. WP is WP no matter where its hosted and its obvious that we are in need of an update. There is a lighter version of the website in the works. Someone has it. It takes two seconds to update WP. Why are WE out of date? We arent running the correct site speed tweaks either.I have a few on my website that I use but I dont remember them offhand. It takes about five minutes to change color schemes/themes. You can mirror the site either on a subdomain or in another folder while testing the website. All one needs is FTP and site admin access. I dont know why people seem to think it takes a genious to make these changes. The API needs an update and the link to the blockchain is broken. There are at least THREE working blockchains including one by Lizhi. Theres no need for broken anything. We need to reference shapeshift.io and exchanges for feathercoin as well on the website.I dont think people know how to get any. I lost what info I had for working exchanges.
The forums could use some help too. Need to tweed out users that havent posted anything in over six months and can the spam and DOS flood of new users.WP plugins can help with that.Im running some plugins that do just that.Takes about five minutes to setup.
The link to the miner is a tad hard to find. Neoscrypt has a few release versions out there.I have the latest as of a few months ago. I doubt much has changed yet. This brings more to the point: we are neither BITcoin nor LITEcoin. Why are we duplicating thier wallet code? These are OUR functions now and need to be named as such. We need to remove all of the BITcoin and LITEcoin crap left around that we still point to. There seems to be a security notice that we need to check to see if we are vulnerable to. It affects miner orphan blocks. Voting is still in the works last I checked as was implmented by Bitcoin-Scrypt team even though thier client has sync issues.
I am assuming we are using the icon Lizhi is using, the flat blue one, not the digital grey one.Will make the change to the .8 version of the wallet soon.There is a lot of cleanup that needs to happen AGAIN, as I lost my latest backup set.
The website is just the surface of what is broken and needs fixing.
Lizhi needs some help too.

You may have missed this one https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/9132-feathercoin-reloaded/ alot of what you speak of is in hand… but as with all these things they have to be fitted in with RL something that is taking its toll on both myself and MrWyrm at the moment.
