Not sure If #1 can be done since I was planning to have features like the ability to see transactions etc. I don't see how such detail would fit in a small widget. As for the second, that shouldn't be problematic unless the APIs I'm going to use is banned in your country, If you know that's the case, tell me which ones are not.

it can, but it would be a bit harder to design. for example it can be a window which only has a system tray icon instead of being in taskbar. and it can simply be a chart window showing price changes of 1 up to 3 different coins. then add a little gear icon on top for settings where the user can change which API to use, which coin to monitor, which addresses to add for monitoring.
and the system tray icon can show pop up windows when a new transaction takes place (receive/send).
also it can have a cool chart of balance versus time showing rises and falls in amount of coin the address(es) have.

something like this: (note that i just resized my chart bot, it is not designed to be a widget but can be modified easily) (the watch on top is a widget that i included in the picture as a scale!)

I would not use it because there is nonsense for me to monitor my addresses... monitoring for what? expecting someone else moves my founds? that will not happen. Maybe monitoring for the amount i have in it, but that's a thing i can't change, if the price goes down there is nothing i can do, so, there is not a good reason to stress while my savings become worthless and watch in that moment how i losing money.

Another way, if the app let me spend my money, like a micro or simple wallet, i would like the app.

Can I know what is the scope? Is a testing version before official launch? Can I receive any special discount or reward?

There will probably be a beta release but It will be for everyone and there is no special discount because It's not going to be for sale in the first place.

"Yes", if it meets one of the following conditions:

Desktop: I prefer to have it as a widget and not a window or full screen app.
Android: Be able to use it without a VPN (I've had this issue with other similar apps on the market ^{[due to my location, most likely]}. It's more of a UX problem).

Would be a great app in my opinion.
as long as it has extra features like
- Ability to push notifications in case sudden market changes... like 2% drop or rise
- If it had a floating widget
- Ability to show a summary of transactions in and out

- It's more about monitoring your addresses then an app for signaling.
- See above.
- I'm planning to do that yes.

But I would love to see maybe some support for multiple portfolio accounts. Maybe at a given fee if you so feel you want to make something small out of it

It will definitely have that If I create it.

Yes, I would definitely use it, it seems very practical.

Yes, I'll be interested in using such app, I currently use a telegram bot to get notification about transactions on my wallets. Just a few questions where the app be drawing it price informations from because there can be relevant price difference across exchanges, ~~will the application be an open source ?~~

Depends on the coins supported. - I have voted on the poll
Just like been said or tell above if i find out this thing to be lite or the UI is good then i might consider.Im not fan on using these kind of apps
there are actually apps out there similar into this idea but i havent checked it out.

This is an app you wont need that special discount or reward. Grin

Dont know on what you do believe or the things you have read up.

Sounds neat, but I personally wouldn't use it.

The Bitcoin price I keep track of as is and what little alts I hold I only pay attention to during bull markets. Smaller day-to-day price fluctuations I don't act upon and beyond that I don't see any practical use for me except for maybe aggrevating an already unhealthy habit of regular chart-checking.

The idea is pretty simple, It's a desktop application to start with (could be available for iOS and Android afterward) to monitor your addresses and portfolio with notifications, charts etc. everything you might need.

It will support multiple coins, It will also be possible to retrieve your addresses directly from your hardware wallet (Ledger nano S/Trezor) without the need of copy-pasting them one by one etc. Is that something you would be interested in using in the future?

I think this is a good idea and seems to have heard about this somewhere.
If there is an application that helps us to easily buy and sell cryptocurrency than more common way present then that's a great thing.

Sounds like an all-in-one app for me and anyone that sees all the app's features would definitely like it but it would be a particular set of target group. So I wonder who would you think this app will be useful for? Because I myself would only see some of the features personally useful for me so I wouldn't bother installing this app, instead I'll be using on what I am used to do. And that might be the case for other people not using your app.

Sounds like it would be a useful app, maybe something that also generates events to alert other apps, email/sms notifications and exports reports in formats such as Excel.

As for the way it retrieves the info, I'm not sure how is that important, to be honest. I doubt the average user would care about how the app gets the information. If I ever use full node etc. It could cost money and I'm not sure I could afford that for the long-term.

i say that mostly because i already have an app that does that using block explorers and i have been working on changing it so that it can work in a more decentralized fashion and communicates on the P2P network to fetch everything (haven't succeeded in finishing it yet). and also because that would make it distinct from all the similar tools that already exist.

Voted with: Not Interested at all.

There are dozens of apps in the market which do the same and trust me, they keep popping up in this section every other day. I'd rather have my own excel sheets and charts over an app that will have access to my confidential data.

I'd be interested in an app which helps me getting the forked coins without needing to copy all the addresses.

The app won't collect any confidential data about users and It's going to be open source so anyone could verify that.

I answered with: Depends on which coins are supported.

It's true that there are already similar apps, but I haven't actually found one that I like using.
The UI is a big factor for me whether I'd use it or not.

It should be lightweight and have a very clean interface. I know that's not too much detail, but I don't know yet how this perfect app would have to look for me to use it.

I'm planning to make something using Material design, so It will be clean.

As for the coins, I was thinking about BTC, LTC, Ethereum and most of the ERC20 tokens.

Quote from: Initscri on November 25, 2018, 03:28:33 AM

I'd use it. I use a watch-only Electrum wallet to watch my cold storage. If there was something more advanced to watch both hot & cold wallets, I'd definitely consider it.

Make sure the code is open-source if you do go ahead with this. If I wasn't able to validate the source I probably wouldn't run it on my computer TBH.

I'd make the reco: Create it open-source & try it with Bitcoin. If there's demand, maybe start including other cryptocurrencies.

Quote from: pooya87 on November 26, 2018, 12:18:35 AM

i wouldn't use it because i don't have a "portfolio". all i have is bitcoin and for that i have watch only wallet(s). but i would like to point out that it depends on two important factors:
1. being open source. and runs smooth and fast.
2. the way it retrieves your information such as balance. if it fetches the information from block explorers then it is nothing new. so why bother making it? but if it is communicating with nodes and is something like an SPV watch only wallet then it can be different because i don't know any app like it yet. although altcoins don't have a lot of features that bitcoin has (bloom filters for starters) so it may not even be possible.

The application will be open source as mentioned above. I wouldn't use the app myself If It wasn't. Cheesy

It may be a good idea if i understood correctly what it does.

The problem i find with all those app like delta or blockfolio is that you cannot simply specify your addresses and let the application get the balances (that i'm aware of) but every time you start to use them you need to input everything manually Undecided
