Developer Updates

TonChan Mobile Wallet — Hello, As you may be aware, a mobile wallet for Android was recently released on the play store. We’re planning on doing a full article on that, so I’ll just keep it brief on the latest changes, with v0.0.4. I added a dark mode, along with a more comprehensive theme system. There’s a slight bug with v0.0.4 on the settings page on some resolutions, but this will be fixed in v0.0.5. I added support for Android 4, for those of you who are still running potatoes. I’m not sure if the support goes any lower than that. I also added a logger screen, to help fix any weird hard to pin down issues. Finally, I fixed the USD/currency value only updating on app launch. Along with a few other bug fixes. In v0.0.5, I’m planning on adding support for address+amount QR codes, so you just need to scan one qr code and hit confirm to send a transaction. If there’s something you’d like to see, or something that’s not working, please make an issue on the Github linked. Or if you’re a developer, maybe you can help add some of the already requested features? :) — Zpalm

TurtleCoin Multisigs — I believe I have the lion’s share of the multisig cryptography done; however, I’ve encountered an issue in generating composite key images so that transactions can then be generated from those. I’ll then need to make sure that the signing input signing works correctly before attempting to add multisig support to any wallets. — IBurnMyCD

“TurtleCoin is up to 39 forks! Plus maybe 5 I need to get around to adding.” — Turtley McTurtleton McDrizzle @ ForkMaps.com

TurtleCoin Block Explorer — I spent a bit of time last week adding a few new features to the official block explorer. It now contains a client-side wallet generator, address decoder/encoder, and a random payment ID generator. I’ve also added additional network charts that depict some of the network statistics for the last 24 hours. For those of you that have asked about TurtleCoin emission rates and a graph to help better understand that emission, I’ve also added a Currency Supply & Emission graph using the base reward as specified in core code. — IBurnMyCD

CuvéeARM Turtlepool — As if we at Cuvée labs would have nothing to do already, we were curious if we could run a pool on the ARM platform (better known as Pi boards). The set up is still crazy and nowhere near production ready (we followed the quick and dirty approach of putting everything — the daemon, the HA scripts with PMě, Redis, the pool and the webserver all on one OrangePI). Fired all up and voila, the pool works. Now, let us add some miners, so we redirected all our OrangePI One Plus miners, as well as the GPUs to our new pool. We run it experimentally as a private pool only for now, current hash-rate about 40KH/s, did not found a block yet, so … if this whole thing does not crash & burn, expect more news next week. Our goal? Run a public pool on these ARM-boards, properly distributed and ready for scaling up and out! — LeoCuvée#1481

Tscripta — Hello there, i will be working on reviving my old project that is probably outdated by now. It will try to emulate loafwallet (i like its style) and add additional features that t-scripta lacked — Val#1969

Good First Issues

Lately we’ve been hearing from a lot of you “how can I become a developer on the TRTL Team?” so Zpalm assembled a bunch of easy-wins for someone just getting started to get their feet wet with our code. These have been marked with “Good First Issue” on GitHub for visibility, and we’ll be highlighting them in the roundups in the coming weeks for more visibility.
