The new wallet looks interesting. Have you thought about directly integrating it with the Vault? You could have a "Vault" tab with a sub menu for Vault balance and functions to easily move funds back and forth. On the surface you might not think there would be much use but, consider it like recharging a debit card or taking money out of your savings account and moving it to your checking account. All kinds of cool things you could add to the wallet if you tied it to a vault account.

Lets take it a step further, automatic payments. Include the ability to add addresses to which the user would set auto payouts at preset times. Go a step further and allow the user to make these payouts at will, or on a schedule, and get a report on demand or an email when a payment is made. Maybe in the future it could incorporate different currencies. Just a thought, look at the wallet as a money control system, a place multiple currencies and functions can be added in modular form.

I think this kind of functionality will be important as crypto is adopted mainstream as payments and online transactions with brick and mortar businesses becomes common place. Dnotes could truly be a pioneer while others add technical features most casual users will never understand, Dnotes truly becomes the "Peoples Coin" with easy to use everyday solutions to managing digital money.

Now, as this upgrade progresses, would be the perfect time to at least build in the basic code to accomplish these functions even if you are not ready to take this kind of stuff live. That way you would be ready and could add modules easily. Just some thoughts on the future...

 

I think wallet design could be better , it doesnt looks like wow. Maybe pictures are not good enough(not professional) or maybe wallet doesnt  need it at all . Just look at stratis breeze wallet it is cool .

It looks like some hedge funds have learned how to game the system. Allowing their name to be used in order to orchestrate what is basically a pump and dump, surely warrants a watchful eye from Securities regulators.

Hedge Funds Flip ICOs, Leaving Other Investors Holding the Bag - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-03/hedge-funds-flip-icos-leaving-other-investors-holding-the-bag


This article left me speechless (almost). It was written by the former Senior Communications Director and Counsel for Sen. Rand Paul. It is one of the most condescending pieces of crypto-drivel I have ever seen. grrr!

Soccer-Mom-Friendly AML Bitcoin Will Make Digital Currencies Mainstream - http://observer.com/2017/10/aml-bitcoin-will-make-digital-currencies-mainstream/

I think the intention of these screenshots was to give everyone an idea of what features will be included and the basic layout. If you have any suggestions for the final design, I'm sure the team behind the scenes would be very appreciative to hear them.

I think wallet design could be better , it doesnt looks like wow. Maybe pictures are not good enough(not professional) or maybe wallet doesnt  need it at all . Just look at stratis breeze wallet it is cool .

Agreed, it looks great! I can't wait to test out the new features. Keep up the great work everyone.

You're absolutely right TeeGee, that governments should enact the will of the people. I'm just struggling to find an instance where corporations wanted one thing, and the people wanted the opposite and then the government legislated in favour of the people's will. You'd think that in democracies that would happen all of the time. But apparently not.

Instead I think that we'll see the old financial sector lobbying their governments to act against cryptocurrencies and governments doing what they're asked. Some governments will recognise the economic benefits of being a technological leader in the field, I'm looking at you Tallinn, and push back against the financial sector and their lobby groups. Other governments will recognise the economic benefits of their population's increased wealth so will regulate to stop losses through fraudulent ICOs while encouraging the cryptocurrency industry in general. I'm thinking of Japan as an example of this.

But neither of these positions may have a significant effect on the industry over the long term. Where there is a will there is a way. Frequently the chip to override Sony Playstation security was available for purchase before the box with that security update was on the market. Whatever actions governments take to limit the use or accessibility of cryptocurrencies, enterprising groups will design work-arounds and solutions that welcome those citizen's trade.

I see a country banning the use of cryptocurrencies as about as effective as a country banning the uploading of images onto the Internet. And the more they squeeze the blacker the market gets. If on the other hand, governments rewarded citizens for declaring their wallet addresses, that same market would become a lot less black.

So I'm enjoying watching all of this unfold in your good company, and see some unpredictable chaos ahead like a crazy pattern on a blanket. But this blanket is settling down over a landscape of valleys well worn by history. The prohibition of alcohol, the Tulip bubble, the dotcom bubble, the introduction of bank cards and ATM machines. All of these reflect human behaviour and are good predictors of both government and public response.

The wallet is amazing - Great job to everyone who is working on it!

Hey Newtiy, great to have you here.

IT's difficult to tell what the Russians are doing in terms of Bitcoin and blockchain technologies. It appears many ICO come from there, and it could be a great vehicle for wealth to come into the country. At the same time, the government seem to view cryptocurrencies as a risk for their citizens. They could also be considering banning  the exchange of bitcoin etc, while allowing research on blockchain technologies. Some of their banks are already releasing blockchain products.

I'm not sure, but I heard that in one of the Russian Universities they launch an educational programme on blockchain technologies. So may be it means that Russia is on the way to accept it? (Sorry for off-topic in this thread, just saw a post about Russia and decided to answer )

There is certainly a lot of mixed messaging coming out of Russia. It is highly likely that there will form a crypto-divide between those that ban use of cryptocurrency, and those who endorse their use. We will quickly see which approach is more economically beneficial, whereupon some of those countries will either reevaluate their position, or double down on it. Cryptocurrencies are made by the people, for the people, so I think there is a case to be made that if enough people want to use them, and the government should reflect the will of the people, then that should be mirrored in policy.
