Bitcoin-Central is back

[mmazi]

Here's the news:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303381

I think this will have to be re-implemented in XChange though. They have changed their Web interface and I couldn't find any API documentation. I tried using our old implementation but it doesn't seem to work -- here's my attempt if anyone is interested (some updating of the code was needed to bring it back to speed with current XChange):

FYI, API documentation was updated not too long ago if anyone is interested in bringing back the Bitcoin-Central module: https://github.com/Paymium/api-documentation

We'll put a 250 mBTC bounty up on getting us back into XChange.

Let me know if you're interested !

I have already implement the new API for my android application. What exactly i need to do ?

@JordanGout To integrate it into XChange, you need to follow the guidelines here: https://github.com/timmolter/XChange/wiki/New-Implementation-Best-Practices

If you're going to do it, make sure to leave a note here so no one else works towards the bounty while you're working on it.

I'm pretty busy this month but if there is no short deadline i'm OK to try :)

Is anyone working on the issue? Any updates?

[timmolter]

no one is working on it that I know of.

[kpysniak]

Cool, I'll be happy to give it a try.

The initial PR, referring to this issue, has been created: #419

[pilotniq]

Paymium / Bitcoin central uses OAuth 2 for authentication, so this task will require an OAuth 2 library.

Some options appear to be Apache Oltu and Google OAuth Client Library for Java. I'm sure there are others.

Are there any opinions on what to chose? Is the Google library encumbered by Google services specific stuff? Is Apache Oltu not widely enough used? Are there any licensing issues?

[timmolter]

@pilotniq I personally don't have experience yet with OAuth libs in Java so I cannot answer. @gary-rowe Do you have experience in this matter??

[davout]

We'll add simpler authentication methods soonish, so maybe it's worth postponing this one a bit
