Last edit: March 20, 2015, 01:34:30 PM by cryptapus #7303 Dedicated Android Wallet for UNO - Request funds for development



Greetings Everyone,



BitcoinCharlie and I have been off-line discussing what it would take to get an Android wallet in the Google play store. I've reached out to HashEngineering to gauge their interest in developing an android app for Unobtanium for a fee, and their response has been that a wallet would cost 1.5 BTC. Please take a look at their topic here:



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=336215



My experience with HashEngineering has been through Myriad, and I can say that I am impressed with their skill, response time and dedication. I believe that they may be the best Android coin dev's out there for altcoins. Feel free to drop by their topic and ask any questions, they are nice folks. Also, if you have an android device search for them on the Play store and try out one of their wallets. The main reason I see them as being the right folks for the job are:



They have experience with SHA256 coins (UNO's mining algorithm)

They have experience with KGW difficulty (UNO's difficulty calculation)

They have recent experience with AUX-POW (UNO's upcoming merge-mine capability)

They are known developers who have been around a while, and seem to have a passion for this work (as far as I know, they did Myriad's wallet just for the challenge)

Technically, they seem to have all the pieces in place, they would just need to pull it together for UNO. They have high confidence that a wallet will take < 2 weeks of development time, and they can begin in approximately 2-3 weeks.



I am asking for donations to fund this project. We will need to gather at least 125 UNO (at today's price) to fund this project for the next year. Please consider that as a minimum, ideally it would be good to make sure a quality developer is well funded to keep their interest. I have set up an address to send funds to:



udroidNXd1YNoL1DgNu8NktemcnexiBByM



I've started the fund with what I can afford from donations to my projects. I ask you to help if you see value in this idea. If we make the goal, here is what will happen based on discussions with HashEngineering:



Quote My payment terms work as follows:

1. Half the payment is due when the app is published to Google Play

2. Half the payment is due a month later after any bugs are worked out.

3. I can take BTC or BTC equivalents (other coins).

4. One year of updates would be included in the price. The updates would include any coin forks, bug fixes, checkpoint updates and possibly some updates from Bitcoin Wallet (by Andreas Schildbach).



Source code and apk files are published to my github account, but I can also publish it to an additional account. Hosting on my Google Play account is also part of the price, but if you have your own account then I can provide the apk files.



The schedule is as follows: I can start working on this in 2-3 weeks based on my current work load. From that point it will take less than 2 weeks to finish the app, assuming that there are no extremely difficult problems to solve.

In the event that something goes wrong, or we don't gather the required funds within 2 weeks, I will refund any coins sent to fund this project (coins will be sent back to the origin address). If half the payment is sent to HashEngineering and for whatever reason the other half does not get sent, I will refund what is left percentage wise (back to the origin address).



Credit for this idea should go to BitcoinCharlie.

We must have android Un wallet. Tonight when got to home I send you Un.



"There are problems with memory consumption and battery drain since it requires to be run in background or user will need to wait for long sync time on every run.



Most android wallet out there on android play store are not true decentralised wallet as far as I know, its vulnerable to server downtime and hacking attacks on centralised providers."



Not my words. But guess is a usual problems for that androids wallets ..... .??



Wondering how much gonna cost iOS app? I'm just curious...

I would agree for coins with fast block times. UNO has a 3 minute block time so it should not be so bad. I don't know if KGW will impact the speed too much, that's probably a good question for HashEngineering.

The Schildbach bitcoin wallet (which is the code HashEngineering works from) from my understanding is a full bitcoin node, not relying on any centralized provider. Think of it as bitcoin-core completely re-written in java. Thus this UNO wallet would be decentralized and would continue to work even if HashEngineering disappeared or another hard-fork in UNO was required.

Unknown. I don't know of any completely open source bitcoin wallet for iOS (maybe copay?). Certainly not with the maturity of the Schildback solution.

Sounds great. Sending a small donation your way. I hope everyone helps out in any way great or small possible ~ !



Please keep us updated on funds raised to date.

I use the Shildbach android Bitcoin wallet. Don't leave it open. When needed, open it; it hammers up to speed; I send -- though it can take some time to get 'full green circle' confirmation' (but I am, quite literally, probably the last Bitcoin outpost on the bottom left corner of Oz).

That's the trade-off for decentralization I would assume. Someone has to eat the energy to keep up with the blockchain. I've always been interested in letting block explorers do the hard work and the private keys stay with the user, hence my work with jswallet and copay. This is a bit different being an independent node.



I will say, once this is complete we will have an open implementation of unobtaniumj (unobtanium in java) which from my understanding opens quite a few development doors to other applications. But my java knowledge is not up to speed on the exact possibilities... That's the trade-off for decentralization I would assume. Someone has to eat the energy to keep up with the blockchain.
