What do you guys think about Android Wallet for UNO?
If possible, can somebody setup a bounty for it? I started working on it a while ago but only on my free time. If there is enough bounty I might put aside other thing and give it my full time.
Which approach are you taking? There seems to be at least 2 app styles. There's the one where you download the entire altcoin blockchain, and then there's Mycellium approach, where the blockchain is hosted.
At the moment, I'm trying not to have users download the entire blockchain on their device. So I'm working on the alternative which is having the wallet sync data with block explorer thru API to check the balance and check for transactions, which the downside would be that the wallet won't work properly when the API is down. But if I go with Mycellium approach I would need a server to host super node for Uno which I might not have the resource for. All in all, it is working in progress. Resource for UNO is very little compare to BTC at the moment, so building service and apps around it would requires lots of work and patient.
@ Prominer
I don't think he is working on it. But I guess if there is a bounty things could happen.
"go with Mycellium approach"
agree
"if I go with Mycellium approach I would need a server to host super node for Uno which I might not have the resource for"
see there is stuff like that
so the third party solution will likely be a recurring monthly bill for "hosting super nodes"
my recommendation is let a professional operation handle the main Apple/Android/Windows apps
then guys like pnoch can create a custom app that pings into this system
(again I will say let's look into it but wait ... mobi apps are going to another level (check GEMZ, OPAL) ... let them play and then we can see what turns out to be the best system)this is dev-lev stuff, and above my skills, hopefully API details are being tweaked too ... like network hash rates, transaction counts, etc ( i see some websites have this for other coins but not UNO)
Not to toot my own horn too much, or be down on services like coinomi or a dedicated android app (I do see value in those), but we do already have an android app:
https://cryptap.us/uno/jswalletWorks well on android AND iOS devices, does not require an app install, works in the mobile browser, private key is stored as a random brainwallet URL on the device. To be honest, I would send casual users here first as it takes seconds to setup a secure wallet. If you want something with more bells and whistles, take a look at copay on your mobile device:
http://hydra-uno.cryptap.usWell I'll toot ... great service and will work just fine in the meantime.
We will however need apps listed on PLAY and whatever the Apple App place is called in the next180 days.
