Community Roundup #12

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J



Hello, fellow LTBers!


After a brief hiatus, we are resuming our Community Roundup blog, as well as (re)starting our weekly newsletter. In case you haven't done so already, you can sign up for the newsletter here. (Those of you who signed up in the early days of LTB, you are already covered.)


First, we'd like to welcome Brian Fabian Crain and Sebastien Couture, creators and curators of the fantastic Epicenter Bitcoin podcast, to the LTB podcast lineup. Welcome Brian and Sebastien!


Our forums have been quite busy over the past few weeks. Adam is letting people in on his Train-Of-Thought as well as on some fiction; be sure to check out his busy brain. We also have an active discussion on which operating system works best for you, Windows, Mac OS or Linux. This of course is one of the oldest debates of mankind, and will continue until Linux wins. But I digress.


Robert from Folding Coin has been giving out 10 FLDC to new users for becoming a part of the LTB Network and FLDC Community. In addition to helping out Standford's medical research with the Folding Coin project, Robert has put together a couple of helpful How-To videos for your viewing pleasure. Thank you Robert!


On the tech side of things, Nick -- a fan of the Matrix trilogy and our Architect, but one who only does good -- has brewed some back end magic by removing bottlenecks, so now LTB pageloads are much faster. While the Tokenly Content Management System (CMS) is still a work in progress, and our home page may look the same as it did at LTB launch, the back end has seen a massive amount of work. One of the behind-the-scenes tools that has been designed and coded from the ground up is our SwapBot token vending machine. You may thank the wizard duo of Devon and Nick for an amazing piece of coding. Yet the vending machine does not sell Coke. Much disappoint.


What's not disappointing? Joey's LTBc Calculator Chrome extension, that's what! Not a fan of the Googles? Head over to Joey's cool site to get the same effect. If that doesn't rock your world, check out his latest project LTB Companion Chrome extension on GitHub.


And speaking of our home page, it is indeed in need of a redesign. If you have the skills and time, we have a Request-For-Proposal window open until March 20th for you to submit your vision of what the new Let's Talk Bitcoin! website should look like. Get to it!


All the Best,


Tuomas
