Via.Eth Project Update #2

The second project update will be disappointing to read for some people. I found a job! Unfortunately, I need food and shelter to survive, so I’ve taken a 9-5 web-dev position. Development of PayViaEth and any other projects under the ViaEth banner, while slowed down, is not canceled or stopped. There are only so many hours in a day, and I will have to devote some of them to life.

Progress: I am still checking everything in the git repo and working through the list of items included in the reply from the wordpress.org plugin directory. There are also some website-related things I need to take care of and prepare for the next GitCoin round. Hopefully, my timeline isn’t too far off. So I’ll need to take a moment to update it.
If you have experience with WordPress plugins or PHP code, check out PayViaEth and submit a pull request!

Via.Eth Project Update #1

  • What I’m currently working on.

I’m currently working on the alpha version of PayViaEth. I’m pushing ahead with some of the early bug fixes and plugin standards. I also want to get set up on wordpress.org to get the plugin listed in the plugin directory. In addition, I’m working on getting the website organized and ready for visitors and getting the formatting down for updates (Such as This) and other content. Finally, I’m still becoming familiar with the public Github tools and issue tracking.

  • My Progress.

All of my progress is public at the moment. You can check out GitHub for more info. The plugin is still in the alpha stages, but I’m making headway on listing and fixing some of the bugs. I would follow the “Alpha Fixes” milestone on GitHub for development tracking. I’ve also started working on NFT solidity code, but that’s mostly research, so I can’t give you a clear picture of where that’s going. I’ve submitted the plugin to wordpress.org and received a list of issues preventing it from being posted. You can get more info about this on the project Github.

  • Other Notes and Info.

For most of GR8 and some of GR9, I had to take a full-time position which is why I used a third-party programmer who worked with me to push out code pretty fast. You can find more info in the PayViaEth git repo hosted on GitHub.

I can not stress enough the need for shared scrutiny in the alpha stages. Please look at the code and open an issue for code lines that don’t fit into the world-class piece of Webware we are building. 

I’ve also been going back and forth on handling version numbers. I want to keep it pretty simple and promote rapid development, so I’ll be using X.Y.Z with X being major (must update), Y being minor (feature updates), and Z being bug fixes. As I’m typing this, I realize I should somehow add this to the documentation.

Vitalik Buterin

Vitalik Buterin is a Russian-Canadian programmer and writer primarily known as a co-founder of Ethereum and a co-founder of Bitcoin Magazine.

Buterin is a co-founder and inventor of Ethereum, described as a “decentralized mining network and software development platform rolled into one” that facilitates the creation of new cryptocurrencies and programs that share a single blockchain (a cryptographic transaction ledger). Buterin first described Ethereum in a white paper in late 2013. Buterin argued that bitcoin needed a scripting language for application development. But when he failed to gain agreement, he proposed the development of a new platform with a more general scripting language.

About the Ethereum Project, Buterin has said: “I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to work in such an interesting and interdisciplinary area of industry, where I have the chance to interact with cryptographers, mathematicians, and economists prominent in their fields, to help build software and tools that already affect tens of thousands of people around the world, and to work on advanced problems in computer science, economics and philosophy every week.” However, in a 2018 New Yorker article, his father suggests that Buterin is trying to avoid the focus on him as the philosopher king of the blockchain world. “He is trying to focus his time on research,” Dmitry [Buterin’s father] said. “He’s not too excited that the community assigns so much importance to him. He wants the community to be more resilient
