Dedicated Android Wallet for UNO - Request funds for developmentGreetings 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://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hashengineering-android-wallet-creation-service-336215My 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:
udroidNXd1YNoL1DgNu8NktemcnexiBByMI'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:
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.
