How to submit a pull request in Java to list a coin

Hello there, i´ve trying to figure out how to submit a pull request on bitsquares github. I asked my community and hired a java dev, neither of which were successful. Can someone assist me?

Many thanks

This is a quick summary. You need to create a Github account, go to the Bitsquare’s repository on Github, clone it so you have a fork on your account as well, change the code to add the address validation, test it, go to the bitsquare repository’s pull request tab, click new pull request and hopefully you will find your way around it.

Hi thanks for replying. I have nearly 0 development experience, can you give me a dummys guide.

many thanks,

Simon

you know there is also no guarantee it will be accepted into bisq if its a scam coin right?

Wth would you assume scam without knowing anything about my coin?
It´s Mooncoin, if you believe it is a scam, please list your reasons.

Many thanks

your trying to get a pull request done. and you are not a programmer.
edit: i would ask for help on the mooncoin reddit/bitcoin talk forums.

We have one dev who is busy upgrading the code- he has just just upgraded mooncoin core, switched algos from scrypt to lyra2m, finished the moonlite platform, the base for the smart-likes feature, and is now trying to get mooncoin out of beta as fast as one man can. I hired a java dev to help but he couldn´t do it, and other communities members with some java skills couldn´t do it. Can you help?

Many thanks

Simon

It is really weird that any dev can’t use Github. I’m going to try to give you a guide from my memory, I am sure you will figure it out if something is a bit different.

  1. Go to https://github.com website and click “Sign up”. Pick a username, type the email address, choose a password and create an account.
  2. Go to https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare . Then I think you just click on the green button that says Clone. And it should be in your repository. It might ask you some thing, but hopefully you can just continue by leaving everything by default.
  3. Go to https://github.com/ and click on bitsquare. There is the code you need your Java dev to change in order to add that address validation. It is just a matter of simple text editing.
  4. Go to https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare and click tab where it says “Pull requests”. Click green “New pull request” button.
  5. Now you I think you just need to pick your repository in one field and leave the bitsquare repository in the other and click compare or it might do it for you. It should say it differs by a certain number of commits or something. Then just continue by pressing “OK” or whatever continue button it is.

PS: You should just look for somebody that knows how to these thing. They are quite trivial and vary popular.
