Documenting the proper way to contributing about iota.go

this project is dead, don't bother contributing

[jdevelop]

@0x13A mind to elaborate on "this project is dead"?

[jpolack]

@habpygo would love to see this!
I started with IOTA some days ago and would prefer contributing here if I had more information how I can start and where I can help

this project is dead, don't bother contributing

I would love to see this repository alive again since golang might go very well with IOT in general 👍

@jpolack hi,

Sorry for responding late. OK, super that you want to contribute.

Just to make sure, I took it that @0x13A meant by “this project” the iota.lib.go and that’s not for me to comment on since the project is maintained by @knarz — although I don’t believe this project is dead.
If by “this project” he means ‘using functionality to send MAM’s to the tangle’ he is wrong.

Unfortunately the testing is difficult, because IOTA org takes test nodes off-line that they promised would remain up there for testing. You can download the necessary files from http://iotameetup.nl but you will note that the provided testnode https://testnet140.tangle.works is not in the air anymore.

If you have a working testnode or know one, please let me know so we can continue working on a Golang MAM implementation.

@habpygo
When I tried to run this project I used lightwallet server from http://iotasupport.com/lightwallet.shtml
f.e. http://eugeneoldisoft.iotasupport.com:14265.

I am not sure if I get everything clear here since there are some questions about the golang-implementation and the api-usage in general.
It would be awesome if you would find me on iota's-slack channel so we can clarify everything and find things I can start on. My nickname is simply "Jonah" .

A Golang MAM implementation would be nice!

@jpolack, could you send me a slack invite? all of the ones I see are dead. I too am interested in contributing here and getting a golang implementation working

[habpygo]

Hi @deltaskelta You don't need an invite according te me; just sign in to Slack and subscribe to iotatangle and the different channels. You can communicate with us via DMs.

[jpolack]

Hey @deltaskelta that is nice to hear!
You find all important links (slack aswell) here: http://www.iotaindex.com/

I worked with @habpygo on MamgoIota which we are now trying to merge here #28. Sadly @knarz seems to be inactive and does neither accept that pull request nor invite one of us to take care of this repo.

I think the best way to start is if you try to run MamgoIota and write us a message as soon as you entered slack 😁

[jeffwillette]

@jpolack I'll check out mamgoiota as soon as possible. I've been writing Golang for a long time but I need to get more acquainted with the iota system and how all the pieces of the engine work.

See you in slack
