work on miranda-ng for money

[sss123next]

A lot of people want omemo. You are the first who doesn't like the design but all crypto experts say that it is the best protocol
we have.

actually i like pgp, one thing missed is session keys, also i dislike status signing part which is source of many problems and incompatibilities.
in my vision we need to extend xep-0027, status signing requirement must be eliminated, and session keys must be added, and it will be good standard, also, key exchange part MUST not be described in this standard and maintained by users, i mean first key exchange, all derived keys can be exchanged automatically via connection encrypted by initial key (not plain text).

I'm curious.

I would pay if someone looked at/fixed the following:
https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/issues/609 ( MsgExport's "Export All History" is very slow )
https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/issues/690 ( SkypeWeb: it is often impossible to log in )
https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/issues/608 ( SkypeWeb: Irregular chat events are not marked as read )

All three are somewhat important to me. How much do you reckon you would want for them?

I have posted (AND PAID) numerous bounties for work on miranda stuff, most recently for implementation of Discord protocol, but previously for the implementation of Tox as well as numerous fixes to SkypeWeb, rewarded people being Ghazan, Robyer and Unsane.

I'm working on that one already, fix is coming.

[Vulpix]

I see it's pretty much fixed (tested it, it's working great!). Bounty paid as agreed, please let me know when you receive it!

[Robyer]

Vulpix, bounty just received (as always), thanks!

anonymous someone is ready to pay for omemo, i will start work in sunday.

[sss123next]

so i am started work on omemo implementation.
currently core, jabber protocol preparation is done (thx ghazan).
necessary libraries updated.

and very first part of omemo itself is implemented (4.1 from https://conversations.im/xeps/multi-end.html )
of course currently no use of it, but it's already a start ).

you can watch development in real-time on https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/commits/master  (my name is sss123next).

sss123next: Tip for your link, you can filter by author and see all commits only by you: https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/commits/master?author=sss123next

On a side note, I noticed you use very strange style of commit messages, is it intentional? Or maybe your software generates such "tree"? Recommended and standardized way is:

Code: [Select]

Commit subject
<empty line>
Optional description.
Here is nice article about how to write good commit messages: https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/

And in Miranda repo we prefix the subject with plugin name or "thing" that this commit is about. E.g. "Jabber: Add empty handlers for omemo message/key" or "libaxolotl: Fix project file"
But important is it everything important (main message) should be all on first line, and be very short. As you can see, even GitHub only shows first line (and only around first 60 chars) and everything else hides under [...] button, so your commit messages are usually very hard to read.

It would be appreciated if you could use the mentioned commit message style, as we others.

I'm willing to pay for work on the WinterSpeak plugin for getting the Lexicon system working so I can have it correct the pronunciation of usernames. (Probably just a back-end substitution of one word for another without affecting the typed output text to Miranda.

i have some progress with omemo, but i have only initial small donation, so additional donations are welcome.
you always can track development progress on git, for example via github web ui https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/commits/master?author=sss123next

[sss123next]

oh guys ... it's a shame, one man has paid for all of you.
it's make me feel evil ...
now we have working omemo, however still have some work to do.
check it https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/commit/5ab73a190c76b8d43a19866451f6aaca0895781d

That's not quite correct. There are two additional people, including me, who paid here: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/32298989-support-for-omemo-encryption
Unfortunately, that bounty has been closed for to me not understandable reasons. But you should request your money from bountysource.
The only thing is... I tried to get it running, but so far wasn't succesful to have a single Omemo session with your plugin. See the bug report here: https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/issues/529#issuecomment-308783899

about bountysource.com - sad, hope you guys have money back.

about bountysource.com - sad, hope you guys have money back.

I believe it is marked as "closed" on BountySource because it was marked as accepted and assigned to you on Trac. But it doesn't mean the money are gone, it's still waiting for your completion of the feature. There is still "Did you solve this issue? [Claim Bounty]" button, so you can use that.
