Since alpha testing is underway could someone please post some screenshots of the upcoming Web wallet? I want to see it!!
Also, any chance of a "Hypervault" option where a larger balance could be moved into a wallet where additional verifications (maybe a second email address 2FA) are needed before moving funds out, and maybe a time delay before the withdrawal? I think providing this option of more permanent storage would encourage users to hold and get more Hyper over time. we could also point them to the SimpleHyper paper wallet creator as that seems to work pretty well
The web wallet will have 2FA already
But I do like the idea of a Hypervault.
Also in regards to the previous question posted about the private key that would be good if it was like blockchain.info in that regard. Meowball who is working on the web wallet would know for sure if you can access your private keys. I would like that if it was possible.
My answers to the questions are below:
Like HYPERfuture has said, 2FA will be an option available for people to use for withdrawals and/or logins. Users can set settings to enable 2FA and other security settings such as imposing withdrawal limits. I could add time delays as an option as well. Good suggestion! Not sure what the hypervault will be like then. Could you give more info about what you are thinking? A hypervault makes me think of an offline wallet that
http://simplehyper.info already provides.
Important differences between the web wallet and blockchain.info:- blockchain.info can't stake your coins (which can't stake in the first place b/c they're BTC's). The hypergg web wallet
guarantees stakes that are split evenly among the users collectively once a day. This means that someone with 0.0001 HYPER earns daily stake that is proportional to how much he/she is contributing to the network. The same applies for someone with 100,000 HYPER. Thus, everyone earns guaranteed stakes that compounds daily.
- blockchain.info does not
obfuscate your sending transactions or withdrawals. The hypergg web wallet sends funds on your behalf to protect your identity. Someone on the blockchain could not see who and when you send your HYPER. On the other hand, blockchain.info is much like the simplehyper paper wallet generator. It is merely a client-side wallet with a blockchain explorer.
- The hyper web wallet user does not exactly own any addresses in the traditional sense. The only address that is associated with the user is the
deposit address which can be changed at any time by the user, but it is only used for deposit purposes to move outside HYPER into the web wallet infrastructure. Once inside the infrastructure, the HYPER that you choose to send from your account is not using your own address. It is using what's available in the infrastructure. This promotes anonymity and future optimizations regarding choosing the lowest aged inputs automatically. Users withdraw their funds via inputs that can span multiple seamingly random addresses.
- Because of the additional benefits and differences between what is being offered with the web wallet and a service like blockchain.info, a user can't really request for their private key. Another benefit for web wallet users is that
transactions between other web wallet users incur 0 transaction fees!
Does the above explanations make sense? I hope that clears things up!
I will be sending invites to testers/volunteers of ppl that have expressed interest for the alpha wallet throughout the the week!
