BURST Browser - Update Log

in cryptocurrency •  8 years ago 

I am looking for what you guys want on this browser. I am adding a  fully functional Download Manager, which hopefully you will be able to  download files directly with. I am also going to include an AdBlocker,  but that will take a lot of time to develop and integrate. Soon, there  should either be a crowdfund campaign or asset released to help pay for  the browser's maintenance, especially if I am going to host a VPN  server. If you would like to donate, please send it to: BURST-WACE-5BXZ-4SL9-BC2B6.  It is going to cost me $200 a month to run a server! I was also looking  at making a Password Manager addon, which will keep your passwords safe  in an encrypted file stored locally or on the cloud. This will  hopefully add the extra protection you may need to browse securely. Once  the BURST Cloud system comes in to action, I plan to add future  integration so that the Browser can communicate with the cloud service;  storing files and media is about to become a lot more easier! 

Things That Need Work!
I am currently looking for a graphic designer who can design the  application a logo and some graphics for the User Interface. If you know  someone, please let me know so I can arrange something. 

Remember: I am in-need of donations to help these things happen! If you want to discuss or have any ideas, please feel free to comment or PM me :) All the best,

UPDATE (07/10/2016)

The Alpha version was released, you can check it out in here: http://forums.burst-team.us:4567/topic/1836/burst-browser-alpha-release/11 I'm proud to say that we already bought a domain and @haitch hosted it (Thanks man! xD) for the browser website which will have a page talking about this asset as well... The domain is burstbrowser.com  (It's starting to be developed so you guys will not see anything in  there for now but you can sleep safe knowing we already bought it xD) Like we said earlier the next batch of assets going in to the market will be launched at Saturday 8th October at 6PM GMT  and it will be a release of 135k assets at 10 burst a piece, this is  the final money we need to get the project up and running until the 5th  phase... Phase 1: Releasing the Alpha Version to community (Raised and Phase Complete)
Phase 2: Implementing VPN, DNS, Proxy Servers and Burst Nodes (half raised by now and we are working on this)
Phase 3: Pay someone to redesign the UI (we are already  in contact with someone that could do this and the website development  but if someone in the community could do it we prefer to pay with Burst  in order to don't hit the sell wall in exchanges!)
Phase 4: Make languages available (for this we will ask  for the community help and will be a reward for each translation so i  think this phase will be pretty quick to do in the majority of the  languages)
Phase 5: Test and release full browser After this release is sold out the only money that we will need to  raise will be just for build a way of pay to users and generate income  to the asset, the crowdfund we created will be exactly for that and i  just want to remember that every donator at this development phase will  be appear in the credits so if you donate to the crowdfund you will see  your name over the credits of the browser, witch is something really  cool ;P **Crowdfund thread: ** http://forums.burst-team.us:4567/topic/1816/burst-browser-crowdfund/


  

UPDATE (07/10/16)

Just a quick update. We have just purchased a new Framework which  will allow us to redesign the BURST Browser. It will look more clean and  minimalistic and hopefully you guys can see it in the next update! All of this is thanks to our donators and asset shareholders. We really appreciate what you have done for us and without you, it wouldn't be possible! :) The new Framework I will be using is called Bunifu. It will allow us to create transitions and our own custom UI. Yes, we decided to do things ourself! I will post example screenshots of the Framework below. Hopefully you will look forward to the redesign!

UPDATE 16/10/16

Hey there, I thought I should let you know a few things which are happening with BURST Browser.
As you may know, I have been working this Browser for quite some time  and added things. I had tweaked the UI so that it is more user friendly  and looks appealing to the eye. I fixed quite a few bugs which people  noticed from the 1st Alpha release, so thank you to those who pointed  them out. I have just added a settings page, which will hopefully be  functioning in the next big update. If any of you know how BURST transactions work (if you know what the  API is and how to use it) please let me know. I am currently making an  API which will start an Ad Network and will require BURST as a payment.  This will obviously be a small fee which still needs to be confirmed.  There are also some tools that I need, but do not have the funding for;  one of these includes ReSharper: https://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/ This tool will improve my workflow and give me access to  features/tools that will save me hours of time throughout development.  If you are willing to donate/contribute for me to buy this software, it  will cost me £240 ($300) for the first year, and then £191 ($233) for  the year after. After the third year, the price drops significantly. I  am not saying that you must donate, but it would be greatly appreciated  and goes towards the project! BURST Address: BURST-WACE-5BXZ-4SL9-BC2B6
(Any BURST left over will be put back into the fund for the project.) With regards to the Ad Network, users can pay a small fee which must  be paid monthly to have a BURST related advertisement put on the  Browser. In the future, I hope that this will be an automated system,  where the Browser will pull images from a cloud storage server and put  them in the Browser. In the meantime, feel free to prepare an Ad if you  would like it published. How The Ad System Will Work:  

  1. The Ad must be sensible and show no explicit content.
  2. The Ad must be relevant.
  3. Any payment missed will be a result of your Ad being terminated from the Browser.

At this moment in time, this is the only way I can think of doing it, so if you know anything better, please let me know. As mentioned previously, the VPN will hopefully be hosted by one of  the BURST team, if that is still possible. We are still working on this  side of things, as it is a major part of development. More Updates:
Me and @gpedro  have recently purchased 10TB each in Hard Drives, meaning that 20TB of  power will be going towards our BBrowser Asset payout. We are still  working on the plan about the dividends because this mining will be for  backing the project costs as long as the dividends and growing the own  Burst farm so the dividends could grow in the future side by side with  the project. This will be incredibly helpful now, as we can move on to  the higher pools with better payouts! With regards to payout schedule,  that is still be unconfirmed. Our future plan once all Hard Drives are  plotted is to be Monthly or Bi-Monthly. Me and @gpedro will have to take a small fee for maintenance, as our electricity bills are quite expensive! Thats all for the update, so thank you for reading and happy mining!
