Topic: [WOW] $10,000 bounty for gifted mobile app developers - page 2. (Read 3673 times)

Dear browep!

Currently hitbtc doesn't support OAuth. We're going to implement it in future.
The authorization should be done with API keys i.e. your application asks user's API key and secret key.
User can revoke or delete the key so your application should work properly in this case.

As for UX we got your point. We're going to implement QR code for API key and secret on the Settings page.

How are we supposed to view/edit the user's profile?  I don't see anywhere in http://hitbtc-com.github.io/hitbtc-api/ that has update privileges for a user's profile.  Are we doing HTTP Form POST's?  Do we need get the user's un/pw ( I would advise against it ).  How about getting the api/secret?  I don't see anything about oAuth, are user's copy/pasting creds in there? ( not a great UX ).

Thanks for any info, very interested in participating.

Dear marty1985!

Contest winners will have special permissions to own the general information  for the current version of the app and also to submit updates and bug fixes. We are interested in developers’ participation in the future support of their apps. Definitely, this process will be conceived  and brought to perfection by our team to keep the developers satisfied.

Feel free to contact for any questions!

Hello Teddmarketing!
In case my team wins, how do we update our app?

Dear cole419!

Entries to the Challenge will be judged on their concept for a mobile app. The participants do NOT need to know how to build a mobile app or to have begun that process in order to submit an entry. Do not hesitate to enter and send us your concept! If we like it, we may advise you a developer and give you an opportunity to work and release your project together.

Stay in touch!

Hi! I’m a designer and I have a concept for an app that may theoretically suit your needs. I would try to take part, but do I need to know how to build a mobile app to enter the contest?

Dear friends!
We confirm the launch of the challenge!
