In terms of development the few things we have chosen to focus our immediate attention to are the following points
- Episode integration into Video SFSI
- Image SFSI with the ability to upload content to us
- Web Wallet Development
- Atmos Integration (via temporary blockchain) into the platform
Many are familiar with the first two points so I'll skip to the 3rd which we've been recently discussing both on Discord and internally. Here's the excerpt from Discord:
Another example of this is developing of a web-based wallet (think like NXT, Waves or BTS's OpenLedger) which could be used with the temporary blockchain and then be later altered to work with Novusphere. An actual application of this would be if you recall a user here was talking about 2FA. In this case scenario it's quite easy to implement a true 2FA as done by Electrum.
The way this works is pretty simple which is the trusted server (Novus in this case) generates one key, and your 2FA secret. From your seed (the string of random words) two private keys are derived. This create a 2-of-3 multisig. Typically, you will only use your first private key and then when you enter your 2FA code the trusted server verifies its authenticity and co-signs the 2nd key. If for whatever reason, the trusted server is compromised no harm is done because it only contains 1 of 3 of the keys. Even if the trusted server became corrupt and lost all of its keys, no actual damage is done to client funds as the user can derive a second private key from their seed and spend without consent of the trusted server.
While the actual functionality of the web wallet will likely drastically change, we feel it would be worthwhile to familiarize users with a consistent interface for when we're ready to transition in the future.
We've also mentioned prior how we are looking to integrate atmos into the platform which will effectively emulate how things will work once it's fully decentralized and we're ready to make the transition away from the temporary blockchain. Again, this is some time from now, but it's worth familiarizing people with these things as even though it's an emulation the "feel" of it will remain the same while the underlying mechanisms will drastically change.
Our primary focus in terms of development currently is working on things that can benefit the current atmos coin as well as benefit our future development plans in re-usability which allows us to prevent sacrificing time by going on a tangent.
For exchanges, the current status goes as follows:
- Bittrex: We will begin reaching out to them and discussions on Sunday and keep the community informed along the way
- Yobit: We've paid their listing fee and are waiting to hear back from them
- Cryptopia: Also waiting to hear back from them
By reaching out to exchanges yourself and letting them know and asking about us shows that there is a community demand behind the project. Any support we receive in said regards is appreciated.
