Bounty management can be done as so. Just make them pledge an amount and when it's finished, tell them to donate it to the dev.
Come On...Nobody want this feature on his Blackstone??!
The Blackstone would be one par with Rhodium and Topaz just with
a 3,5 mm audio jack ^^
At least post your opinions! Do you like the idea of a Bounty, and what kind
of Bounty management would you prefer? And if you don't like it please
post why!
Count me in for $20 USD.

I think a bounty is a great idea. I would post a list of all people who pledged and upon completion of the potential project, send out a mass PM alerting all pledgers that the project is done and the bounty needs to be paid. This is what I did with the Tachi phone canvas port back in the Dev and Hacking when I was using a Fuze.
1. Keep a running total on the 1st page with all pledgers and their amounts.
2. Keep up with the thread and development, should it begin
3. Post updates in post #1 with links to the updates
4. When the project is completed, link to either the new thread or the post where it was posted within this thread.
5. Send out a mass-PM as a notification to all who pledged.
Pros and Cons of a bounty are obvious... Pros are that you can attract a lot of developer attention with a large bounty. Cons are that not everyone who pledges will honor their pledge... It really is bad that some people will pledge that they'll pay but then use the software and never do actually pay up.
Those are just my 2 cents
Damn this sounds like work
I'm relatively new on this forum i hope the community will give my a hand ^^
Count me in for another 10 USD!
$10 from me!
Count me in for 15 euros (not dollars )
I'm in...
Put me down for $20.
The bounty is doing well, keep it up
Come On developers, get going!!
The user really want this on their Blackstone!!
Give us a Hand!!!
Count me in for 15€ (euro)
i'm in for $10
[edit]
after some deliberation i'll do $20 to the author and $10 to XDA-Devs Site
[/edit]
Up !! Up !! Up !!
You should put how much bounty you've accumulated in the thread title.
I had the same idea, but didn't found the option then.
Thanks for the tip ^^
A other question, is it possible to embed YouTube videos in post's??
This would be very usefull.

No But you could get creative! Make the URL point to the youtube link and take an SS of the youtube vid and create a img file, upload it and use IMG tag inside of the URL tag so there's a img of the youtube file and when you click it, it takes you to the youtube video.
I have added the Screen shot with the link to YouTube!
And i added a request for a YouTube BB Code on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531190
I think this would be a helpful feature for XDA dev!!
UP UP UP
Where is the version from the video?
looks awesome anyway! id be up for 15 euros to get my hands on this!
The version from the video is on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515701
but it's not released now. Namuk is not the developer, the original thread
seems to be here:
http://www.htc-world.com/viewthread.php?tid=1422&extra=page=1
maybe the real developers are interested in the bounty, but they don't know about it??
Can someone who speak Chinese post a message on that thread and point
them to our bounty thread, please??!!!
Below is the link where you can submit a request for this specific phone.
http://www.otterbox.com/contact-us/
If more people will request it, they may actually make one.
Here are some of their cases for HTC phones.
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/
I'm in. They make a great product. Already submited.
request sent
I sent in my request I like there cases but it takes so long for them to make a case that by the time the make one I don't have the phone anymore
I sent a request for ya. I was looking at their cases for some of the other phones, and I think I could see myself picking one up if they did make one for the Slide
Sweet, let's keep em coming pls....
put my request in for one, hopefully sometime soon they'll produce and deliver!
They will, just like the HD2 for T-mo version. Initially they only had the Otter Box for the Euro version. Just takes a lot of request for them to realize that there is a market for it.
I sent them a message too. Generally I refuse to pay more than $10 USD for a cheapo case, but this one looks pretty good. They'll get my money, we'll see how it goes
guess what? just got a reply from them:
Update for Case #134861 - "MyTouch 3g Slide"
Dear Drew,
We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have put in a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have.
Thank you,
Katy
i sent a request
Also requested, keep your fingers crossed

Ha ha, I just wrote them like two minutes ago, hope they come out with one. Otterbox has some quality cases!
[ADMIN]
Can any ADMIN please move this post back to the accessories area?
Thanks in advance.
Requested also =D
Requested, and I received the same reply as others.
Just sent this to them.
I found a link to your website via the XDA-developers forum and had a look at what you've done for other devices. I've previously had the Body Glove products for previous devices I've had but always found that they didn't have a very good fit over time. Since I found the link over at XDA-developer, I've had a chance to see the products you make for the iPhone as well as the regular myTouch. I would love to see a product of yours that would work for the myTouch 3G Slide. If you were to make a product for this phone, I'd be more than thrilled to purchase it as it seems that there's a lot of care taken when your company designs product.
Thanks in advance for considering this request.
Yeah it does take a while for them to decide. People just has to keep requesting for it and hopefully they get enough requests for them to realize that there is a market for it.
Also requested and got the standard return e-mail of not right now but maybe.
Got the standard form letter a couple days ago as well. Hopefully we can get enough cases in there to make them get off their duff before T-mo retires the Slide.
I've moved onto a Samsung Galaxy S and have two accessories spare for the X10i:
- Momax skin case (transparent white edges, transparent blue back). It's a really good case!
- Momax matte screen protector with correct cut-outs.
Anyone in New Zealand is welcome to them - I'll post at my cost (not courier, just snail mail). You can pick up in Wellington too.
They're FREE to you.
The only thing is you must have at least:
- 10 posts to your name
- 2 thanks
First in first served.
This is just a thanks back to the community for all the help I got with my X10i.
Moved to accessories section
Dont post to Malaysia?

Heya, I'd really prefer someone who has made a few more posts - the idea is to be able to give back to someone in the xda-developers community, by passing these onto someone that's contributed posts, helpful info etc.
However as there hasn't been much interest so far, I'll wait for another week or so and if no one else replies, then they're all yours. PM me on the 6th of April with your address and I'll send them down to you if no one else has asked.
Cheers - and hope you enjoy being here on xda-developers.

Sorry mate - missed the guy above who asked before you. If it works out with postage I'll be sending to him as 1) he asked first so that's fair, and 2) looks like he's been an actively contributing member of the forum.
If it doesn't work out, what I said still stands. Cheers

pm me...........
Ok. So I am sitting here and thinking. )I know...dangerous right?(
What's the holdup on this phone?: S-OFF and SIM unlock.
What do I own?: An XTC-Clip
What can I do to help get us back into the main forum and keep this phone alive?:
Well. I was thinking about and I thought. This clip is sitting here. I can't really develop but I can test AND I can unlock phones.
What am I proposing?:
To XTC-Clip any GSM Wildfire S that is sent to me for the cost of shipping and handling and the agreement that if you end up with a brick it's not my responsibility.
I'm willing to donate my time to unlock these things, get them to and from the post office and fill out the paperwork to ship them this if it will expand the user base and get us back in business on the main forum until a software S-OFF is found.
Really, when you think about it, the XTC-Clip is and was a development designed to help get the Wildfire S up and running. Obsessing over S-OFF alone while our dev support withers, while we have a current S-OFF solution is a little silly.
Let's just start by doing a poll and seeing who out there would even be interested so I can gauge if I'm on a fool's errand or not.
Please vote for Wildfire S's only. My current interest is in helping keep this forum and Wildfire S development alive.
I want us OUT of this legacy BS.
Here's to keeping the Wildfire S alive!
Actually I really really want CM9 with an official Clockwork recovery. That would make me very happy indeed. Off to test ROMs
This is what I want to say too!

I posted in this thread and it's in my signature now as well. Great idea Henry. Thanks.
My link really works.
I've searched for Belgium, almost the smallest country in Europe, and I've found three people with xtc clip for s-off!
So say thinks if you find my link useful!

Hi Henry, Portugal is much bigger but it seems to be hard to find one single person with a XTC-Clip here. At least in a 100KM radius from where I live, there doesn't seem to be a single clip available.
The only one I found with the help of your link is in Lisbon, 300KM from where I live.
However this isn't the only question. We still can get temp root, so we can install most roms. The problem is that we can't change recovery so backups are out of question. Temp root sucks because it is just a workaround, not a solution.
I would be happy to pay 10-15€ to S-OFF my phone. I just don't want to send my phone to another country, now that it's Christmas time and the postal services work like snails. I need my phone every day and if I decide to S-OFF my phone it must be done "on the hour". I will be glad to pay for it.
Of course that I won't buy a clip just for me because it's still too expensive (with shipping/insurance, etc) for a single S-OFF. If people come to me to S-OFF their devices I don't have the time for giving a decent/quick reply.
If I would have the time I would order a clip and gather the most people possible and would S-OFF their WFS for free, without any problem.
I just want us to rise from the graveyard, called Legacy and Low Activity Devices.
The Wildfire S ROCKS but it needs support. Let's fight for our right!

Thanks to d33ps1x and Henry_1 for the hard work on this thread.
I would appreciate to hear from anyone near Aveiro or Porto in Portugal, that has a XTC Clip.
Please, if anyone that reads this lives in the above areas and can help me get S-OFF, please PM.
If the price is fair I can drive some KM to get my phone S-OFF'ed on the hour.
Would be glad to spread the good news if needed.
I bought mine with the intention of helping others out. That thread of XTC clip owners was where I first communicated with a user who would do it for me.
I figured the drive there...the gas money, etc, I might as well buy it and have it around.
