kickstarter or bounty for wp8 jailbreak where when to whom? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok I am frustrated like everyone else in that there is no jailbreak yet for wp8 and I completely understand how it can happen by luck and or months later so that said and I have said this on other threads.
should we start a bounty on xda for wp8 jailbreak or go over to kickstarter and start a campaign? do we nominate a hacker for the bounty or do we keep collecting and present it to them when it is a sizable amount?
will $$$$ help a hacker find the jailbreak that much sooner? maybe they need money to obtain a phone, to get a dev unlock to begin with to, or need money to help them if they are taking time off work to help us all out with the jail break

Never heard of google translate???

Yes I am aware of google translate, it didn't occur to me or I was not sure if I could copy those characters on my phone and translate them on mobile google translate on my browser, shoot me now

Forum rules do require including an English translation in posts, even if you also include it in your original language.
Back on topic... bounties are a way to increase interest in a project, but they don't guarantee anything. Worth a shot, perhaps.

Ok who wants to start it? Should we do it here in xda? Is this allowed still? What PayPal should we use?

LoL, I understand this frustration as a Lumia 520, though phone is good as per price point but wp8 needs some freedom and some of essential features are lacking.

Sorry maybe my post wasn't clear, I only have one for myself, but others have duplicate orders.
I assume many of them may try cancelling the second order with Google, but if they post here first maybe some other XDA members can work out a deal. I wouldn't recommend paying anyone until they have the Nexus 4 in their hands, but I guess some trustworthy XDA'ers might want the money upfront if they can't afford to have Google charge them twice.
I understand that you are trying to help fellow XDA members but please continue this in the Marketplace section

Hey, you could be of some help. I am developing a app and I need a website to show info and support for the app. I am going to need to make a website. Think you can help me? I have barely started, but in a few months say, by January next year I will have it finished. Your work seems pretty decent. I am not quite good or know how to make a website, could you make me one?

You should use notepad++ or emacs. Microsoft notepad is a pretty terrible tool.

Free Website Design for XDA Members
As the title states, I am going to be making websites for XDA members, as long as any one of the points below apply:
a) Simple, no online payments/logins/etc
b) Really in a short budget and need someone to make their website
c) A non-profit/small business that needs someone to help with their site
d) Have some time on their hands(It will usually take 2 days for a site)
e) Want to get a free website design!​
Q. Why am I doing this?
A: I am a fairly new web developer who has about 4 websites under his belt(Examples Below) and would like to simply help people while gaining some experience. All my four clients are from four different countries, and 1 XDA member is also part of them.
Q.Why should I trust YOU?
A: Because there is nothing to lose from getting a website from me, and you are not forced to do so:good:
Q.Will you make me a 300 page megasite with huge requirements?
A: As much as I want to, I really do not have the time, nor the will to design something >60 pages.
Q. What do you use to make your site?Will you provide me with manual project files?
A: This is a very personal question for me, and I am not comfortable to answer this question. I will though, let you know that most of the project is done with notepad. That is all I can tell you. I can not provide you with the manual project files. Sorry.
Q. Have you ever worked with any XDA members' site?
A: Yes, I have. I have worked with user JONBOY345 and I am sure he has positive feedback from me.
Q. I have more questions.
A: PM Me.
Things that I need to build your site:
1. Your FTP Username
2. Your FTP Password​
Sites I had made:
Site 1
Site 2
Site 3​

Okay - I'll bite.
First off, I was careful in my wording. Html is used for making websites - not websites are made with html
Secondly, Python (if used for web development) is a server-side language, so you'd still need html to get a working site
Question still makes no sense though! :silly:
@Hidden Username Do you make your sites with like Mediator or Expression or something like that?

I can't speak for everyone, but if you are into it and actually want to learn it, it is more fun than "How hard is it?"
I am not studying web developing, but I did my research for a long time(>2 years).
There will be times you wish you never took it, especially when learning some CSS(GODDAMN APOSTROPHE KEY Y U NO BECOME AUTOMATIC SOMETIMES) but all in all, it is very worth it. You don't have to get a job to earn some small $$$, because you can tell people, advertise online, etc.

Hi, I like to keep this secret(My tools) but if you try hard you can easily tell what I used. I'll give you some hints, I use a combo of Adobe: PS, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and sometimes I get scripts and position them accordingly. I will be honest here, NONE of my sites are completely based off notepad, and upon consulting more of my web dev colleagues, I have learned that using notepad/notepad++ is too time consuming and actually decreases productivity.
However, at the end of the day, if the client is happy regardless of what I used to make it, I am also happy.

What Got you motivated to "Develop"?

So I am this random 16 year old guy who turned out to be quite interested in tech (before it was cool). I am that guy who always love to customize and push the final juice of something, which in turn got me into trouble (My terabyte HDD burnt(which I still don't know why), my usb ports all screwed up, remind me to fix them later)
Anyway I love the fact that when you program you have that ability to CREATE any program you wish without "wishing someone else makes it"
However I am busy with school (who figures) and homework and customizing my HTC + gaming that I can't proceed (for a month) in learning java, and yes I picked java as my first language since it's cross-platform and I am thinking of moving between ubuntu and windows simultaneously once I fix my pc.
Anyway! What got you guys motivated in developing ? Theme-ing? Or "Who" got you motivated .
And how did you keep this motivation since we all know coding is not a piece of cake with those thousands of lines, classes, and commands just to make a simple program... ?
^^ have fun opening your heart.

"The only winner is Windows" That was the conclusion of the article, because appearantly M$ has enough patents and licences to cover all makers of Windows Phone - Capacitive screens or not! So Sammy and LG "could" produce Windows Phones and pay MS their cut and call it a day
The reason why we'll never see the end of Android (well at least in the next 10-20 years) is that the market share is so paramount. Such an event would have so many economical consequences that the governments would step in before anything would happen.

It'll also be held up in appeals for years. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure this would only cover OEM keyboards that come pre-installed. I really doubt that it would affect third-party apps like SwiftKey. Worst case scenario, there will end up being some kind of technical workaround that approximates current usage but skirts the patent. There's no real reason to worry about this.

I have yet to see a single legitimate source try to forecast doom and gloom for Android as a result of this development. Let's not collectively freak out over some blog post on a meaningless website.
Sorry but this conversation belongs in the Off Topic thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434020

Second time that we get screwed by Motorola? have you checked the update page or do you have unreported official news from within Moto that says that the update will never happen. No official news has been released saying that the update will not happen and that we have been bent over a table and screwed, so until said news is released, anyone who actually owns this device and claims or states things like you just did is purely rumor or speculation unless you have Motorola credentials to back it up.
Have fun with your Note 4 and enjoy the probable lock down of the system Chainfire predicted months ago.
Furthermore, we already have a goodbye thread created here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611939

I do not have Motorola credentials, so I am not telling you what to do. I am simply offering a bit of advice based off of what we are looking at. KK has not been shot down officially, yet ppl are jumping ship as if the world depended on it. LP will have some issues on new devices per Chainfire's analysis.
In addition to advice based off of things that myself and many others have been looking at for quite some time, I have to point out that your stance about me being controlling and giving me the whole freedom of speech argument is very much off base, esp since I'm someone who wears a uniform.
As stated above. There is a thread for "goodbyes"
