The current site layout looks nice and simple. The logo just should be
changed. If we want to go live quickly, we can just replace it with
the site title and make a better logo later.
If we need help with site administration or contacts to professional
web graphic artists, we can ask Dave. He does Drupal stuff for work.

It would be also great if you can get the Sourceforge logo from the SF
project admin and add it to the site footer.

I autogenerated the new logo at http://cooltext.com/, it's a good
quick solution. You can try a wide variety of different logo styles
there if you have the patience for the slow user interface.

Thanks, I haven't settled on a theme yet. My first experiment was to
try something besides yet another blue site. Another line of thought is
that it should be like a bank website, stately, professional and
official looking to support confidence in financial matters.
The logo's a little too Disco/web-1990's. I still like your bitweaver
one better, I recreated it with text as a placeholder for now. When the
theme is more settled, I'll think about a matching logo.
Good idea about the Sourceforge tag, we can use all the graphics we can get.
I have more to do before we go live, and we need to give the search
engines more time.

The text logo looks quite good actually, except on Windows when the
font antialiasing doesn't work. I turned it into a png.
I just made a 10,000bc transaction from one account to another, but it
ended up sending 10,000.20bc. Any idea why that could be?

What Windows version/browser doesn't font anti-aliasing work on? IE 6
on XP anti-aliases, and versions below that have less than 1% market share.
There's a transaction fee of 0.01 per KB after the first 1KB for
oversized transactions. The first 1KB is free, small transactions are
typically 250 bytes. Doubleclick on the transaction. Think of it like
postage by weight.
The solution is an extra dialog when sending, something like "This is an
oversized transaction and requires a transaction fee of 0.20bc. Is this
OK?" (is that text good enough or any improvements?) I have the code
already, I'll put it in.
Then we wouldn't have to explain the 10,000.20bc transaction, but may
still have to explain who the transaction fee goes to.

Firefox on XP doesn't, and IE also doesn't produce as good quality as
I have on Linux. Screenshots from browsershots.org attached.

Is there no transaction fee then, if you send the same amount in
multiple small packages?

Sounds fine.
Then we wouldn't have to explain the 10,000.20bc transaction, but may still have to explain who the transaction fee goes to.
Where should it go btw? Here it went to the receiver along with all
the other coins. Transaction screenshot attached.

That's strange, I've seen Firefox 3.5 on XP anti-alias large fonts.
Well anyway, your way is safer.
I changed it back to text for now though so I can keep tweaking the
colours. Drupal puts the <span> tags and junk in the browser title but
that's fine for testing.
I added some instruction text on the homepage below the screenshots.
Is there no transaction fee then, if you send the same amount in multiple small packages?
True. I suppose the dialog could make it worse by giving people a
chance to experiment with breaking it up.
I'm making some changes. The largest free transaction will be 60KB, or
about 27,000bc if made of 50bc inputs. I hope that's high enough that
the transaction fee should rarely ever come up. v0.2 nodes will take
free transactions until the block size is over 200K, with priority given
to smaller transactions.
It's best if you don't talk about this transaction fee stuff in public.
It's there for flood control. We don't want to give anyone any ideas.

You found an infrequent bug in CreateTransaction. It wrote the
transaction for 10000.20 with a fee of 0.22. If you look at the
transaction on the sender's side, it'll be a debit 10000.42 with
transaction fee 0.22. The bug was that it had to make a rare third pass
on calculating the fee, and incorrectly added the first pass' fee to the
amount being sent. Will fix.
