Topic: [ANN][NOXT] - NobleNXT Proposal/Whitepaper - Noble's 1st Colored Coin - page 27. (Read 194194 times)

I love the phone, but the screens are a little fragile. I have broken one. I think as long as you don't throw it places you will be fine.

Mine has never even really got warm tbh. The battery is amazing, will do 2 days no problem. Plus the camera is great and it is really thin and light.

I would def get another. my dad has a gs6 with the curved edge and the battery is flat by lunch.

Will push 0.1.2 before Monday - here are the current patch notes:


They will most probably get added to, and can be viewed here.

Because the payments and currencies can be enabled/disabled without app. update you may see them over the weekend but they will be unavailable until the new patch supports them better.

About to update the ANN with screenshots and patch information. There are a bunch of features completely different to utility/pay/gift I am testing/itching to add as soon as the 'to-do's' are done and the app. is available globally.

I appreciate the kinder words/environment and am happy that I can start showing where this is going with more than words from myself.

Regards,
Jason

It could also be argued that its intentional to make people fools, by withholding information/knowledge.

I think pikuchato's TL;DR point about 'based on the information' is spot on. The lack of information/knowledge/communication creates an unhelpful vacuum, where only assumptions can be made. Odd responses certainly dont help, also. At some point a call has to be made, one way or another, to move things forward, for the sake of closure/write-off, sometimes.

Turns out Rofo has a style all of his own, which we are going to need to get used to, cos he sure is his own man. What he produced by secretly beavering away proved that much, at least, and showed what is possible going forward.
Im not ready to eat my hat just yet, but the consensus is that Rofo produced some good stuff here, so well done Rofo. Lets try to create a momentum. 

It always pays to sit on the fence (neutral) when making opinions. The lack of information/knowledge makes a fool out of anyone.

i know it's a bit off topic but, what do you think about the xperia z3?
I was thinking bout buying one lol, heard that it overheats and the glass cracks by itself?
Thanks

It works nicely on my xperia z3. I gave some feedback, but it was mostly minimal improvements. Very impressed so far

And excited, don't forget excited.

Piku, glad you post this!

Now just to get this app running for me Maybe my phone is just too old and shitty, I don't know

Glad he saw the light, better late than never. But indeed, it takes guts and brains to admit when you are wrong, much respect.

On the other hand, we do need critics sometimes,  otherwise we're all just sheep.

Anyways, that's in the past, lets talk about Noble/Noxt future now, cause I am pretty exited. The mobile app has so much potential, I can see where Rofo is going with this and I like that path. Can't wait to see whats next, though the community shouldn't sit back and wait for rofo to do everything, Noble had a lively community before the drama, would like to see that enthusiasm return.

congrats u belong to a minority

Well... I think it is time for me to eat my hat and admit my assumptions were 100% wrong all the way.
The last few days almost made me an heart-attack, I really did not see this coming...

I am more then amazed about how things turned out, honestly this app looks even better then the original plan of noxt.
As an investor in noxt, I just couldn't be happier right now.

As I know no one can control the market and guarantee any profit or return, the only guarantee I thought I had when I invested in noxt is you are going to work hard to make it a success - you defiantly proofed you did and still working.

Don' get me wrong, The communication level was bad - but it is just doesn't matter when things are moving + I think communication when things are running will be much friendlier and easier for you.

TL;DR: I made my assumptions based on the information I had and based on my own opinion/mind, It turned out I was 100% wrong

Good job jason.

Thanks for that update.

The app runs smooth on my device, matter of fact, i've been unable to break it so far  

But I'll keep playing (testing) with it. Looking forwarded to all the additions/changes mentioned above.

I'll report my findings..

Thank you for the quick feedback guys.

v0.1a will be pushed today. Following quick fix patch notes:


Developer notes/updates for features currently being implemented - many based on user feedback - once all these are ticked off I'll take it out of beta - they can be seen in the development 'to-do's.
- Improved compatibility with Drei Samsung gt-p6800 tabs
- Unlock AML/KYC page and voluntary 'opt-in' (AML/KYC is not mandatory)
- Select $$ amount on gift card select and removal of limit.
- Search capabilities and 'by category' for gift cards (priority).
- Save login information (device-specific) if desired.
- Revamped to/from email for Gift.
- Option to disable/skip 'did you know' screen.
- Note on unavailable currencies - currently moving to multiple external processors - if currently unavailable either chain is re-syncing or coin paused to manually check off addresses/orders for beta.
- New line display issue for recipients email on smaller screen - fix to new line.
- New info. on 'recent activity' to show desired payment address - so that it can be retrieved/copied in future if navigate away from initial payment screen.
- Larger 'more' button for navigating gift cards.
- Improved updating for currently supported digital currency payment rates (priority).
- Improved address generation for all digital currencies (priority).
- Helpful introductory screen outlining Gift + Pay for new users.
- Gift cards by fiat currency - not just USD-denominated or focused gift cards - regional also available.
- Fix null null for anonymous users in account info.
- Emulation specifically required on Galaxy s2 with cyanogenmod. I/O failure on account creation attempt & layout issues with text overlapping sign up and login on entry.
- Dafault delivery time/date to now - more obvious a date is not a requirement for Gift deliveries.
- Currently addresses and payments are manually checked off. Final work is being done on full automation and address generation before activating all 45+ currencies. For this reason some can sometimes be unavailable as a payment option.
- Color-codes and improved layout for transaction history.
- Add time option to 'send gift card to friend' (not just date).

Well this looks promising. Nice.

Invite link for those who have provided emails and been added. It should be received in your inbox but if not:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.jasonlcurby.noble

Also, over the next twelve hours you will see the number of supported currencies shoot (50+) up but have an exchange rate of zero. This means they are currently unavailable until I test the API/payments with a few others - those updates will roll out over the next week.

The app already supports 6 or so currencies outside of those supported by Shift as it uses it's own system also.

Once the app. is at a level I'm comfortable with the bullion will be added and we'll start talking % fees or NOXT-cost listings.

There is still more to come beyond the app., but if I get this at a good level now then primary usage/development can be seen rather than heard.

Please follow in-app development notes for current issues/work being done also.

Cheers.

great job jason!

If you have sent me your gmail email Google Play would like you to know the invite will take up to 3 hours from now.

Beta
Please understand this is a beta, however all orders will be fulfilled. My current priority is coding a better process for address generation, rate exchange and getting order confirmation time down to <10 minutes. This will ensure all currencies (>45) are available 99% of the time and I can increase limits from $5-$100 to $5-$1000. Right now half the addresses are generated in a unique manner while the rest are generated via other payment services. I want to get this completely automated so I can focus on new utility/services rather than processing orders.

Bugs & improvements
There are still minor bugs and things I consider imperfect, but be assured because it is now accessible to a wider group of people I will take into account and appreciate all reports of issues. Tell me 'this part is crap' or 'broken for me' and I won't bite. My desire to squash imperfections will become obvious with the consistent updates that will be pushed to fix any problems. There are many aspects I want to and am improving, not just on the front-end, but at the same time I understand I can't work indefinitely on this until I feel it is perfect.

I am looking for device-specific display errors or just general hiccups, some feedback and what utility is specifically desired. I have added a new button to the front containing all current development to-do's and features incoming in next patches (0.1a will be out around Sunday and address immediate concerns. This will make it easier for you to see what is being worked on.

Bounties will be rewarded for helping/bug-hunting on a case-by-case basis.

Products
It's also important to me and this service that gift cards are soon joined by bullion (which is a global option, not just Australia), so we're not 'just another gift-card app'. I don't want to pigeon-hole Noble in to seeming like an Australian-only option, there is just utility there I can fulfil in the immediate-term because I live here. Following that are automated feeds for all kinds of products, and the ability for users to trade or exchange with one another.

Outside the app
I am still pursuing much of what I envisioned for a private currency outlined in the paper, just on a priority basis where I take into account 'what can be done immediately to show progress' (hence development/app), versus 'what will take time, paperwork, effort that may keep me interested but lead to the NOXT thread going the way it does'. I consider this the baseline, an early beta, step one of many, not the 'finished thing' - with a lot more work to go and features to add.

Time
I admit the current landscape for crypto-payments and regulations/fear of fines/etc. do slow me down or prevent me from pushing certain features even though I want to. That does not mean things aren't going ahead, just that I will sit until a certain level of certainty has been met. I'm probably patient with environment changes to the point that it drives everyone away. Sometimes it's a positive, often it isn't.

For a current understanding on the current environment, please see:
http://www.clmr.unsw.edu.au/article/market-conduct-regulation/austrac-throws-regulatory-lifeline-to-%22de-banked%22-bitcoin-operators
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-23/accc-to-investigate-if-australia27s-banks-are-acting-unlawfull/6798988

I want to make it clear in the long-term this will not make me walk away from digital currency. That will only happen if it is outright banned in Australia with threat of imprisonment. I still don't claim any of this is hiccup-free.

From a seperate discussion:


Mishmash of the app publishing:



Here is a copy of the invite containing a little more info:


Thanks,
Jason

Well, glad it seems to be turning out in a positive way!

Though, I cannot blame anyone here for their questions and general sceptisism after this amount of time. Every other coin would have way more flaming and fights much much earlier on in the timeline.

Can't wait to try out the app

Yeah, I am just baking my humble pie right now...

Wow its funny how things play around here, almost had a heart attack reading my dm! cant wait to play with this app. Good job Rofo , glad you came through in the end.

Feels like im going to wake up to an all mighty telling-off, already!
