Open beta of the Snowblossom Android app is pending publish now.

Just waiting on Google Play store magic.

The Android app is great! Just finished testing it

A small hint that generating a new wallet takes longer might be helpful. It took over one minute on my old device

If I have a typo in my address it just shows "Failed. Could not complete transaction". An error like address checksum failed would help in this case

trying to build a simple Snowblossom website that works well on mobile devices

turns out that I really hate CSS
2019-02-07 19:56:53
Fireduck
Don't we all

hypertext was a mistake; bring back gopher
2019-02-07 20:45:12
Tilian
nice work, putting the .info site "live" soon?
2019-02-07 20:45:15
Tilian
https://snow.tools/ this is what I came up with Snowblossom is a simple, scalable & portable cryptocurrency.
2019-02-07 20:45:26
Tilian
need to update the site/node anyhow
2019-02-07 20:46:45

@Tilian I'm working on a number of things, but I'm not happy with my design skills yet
2019-02-07 20:47:24
Tilian
I like how those two you linked look, but I also like the original website so that probably says more about me. :sweat:
2019-02-07 20:47:43
Tilian
If there's any way I can help out let me know. Even though all I'm good at is stealing and adapting CSS.

@Tilian I have a thing for flexbox in CSS
2019-02-07 20:52:24
Tilian
flexbox is nice, I used milligram which is just flexbox + some basic button, list and text styles
2019-02-07 22:11:29
Tilian
I'm thinking about making a fundraising/bounties page for specific tasks (e.g. gui wallet, certain services, whatever people want) where people could donate/claim bounties -- but I'm not sure what the best "trustless-ish" way to do that would be apart from some sort of m-of-n multisig scheme where there's still centralized trust.
2019-02-07 22:12:49
Fireduck
so the protocol supports multisig but the client tooling is not really there yete
2019-02-07 22:15:19
Tilian
ah, I was just digging through `snowblossom.proto`
2019-02-07 22:15:40
Fireduck
yeah, it works and the nodes and proto fully support it
2019-02-07 22:16:13
Fireduck
there is a little bit of support in the jsonrpc sign api, which will read a tx and sign it with whatever keys the local wallet has that are still missing
2019-02-07 22:16:31
Fireduck
a reasonable tool to generate multisig addresses is mostly what is missing
2019-02-07 22:16:47
Fireduck
the jsonrpc also has a way to build an unsigned transaction to be signed later
2019-02-07 22:17:13
Tilian
oh so you can actually do it through the jsonrpc without manually crafting a tx already? neat.
2019-02-07 22:17:20
Tilian
I'll play around with it for the sake of learning
2019-02-07 22:17:35
Fireduck
yeah
2019-02-07 22:17:48
Fireduck
http://qtrade.io wanted that, which is a sensible feature for secure business integration
2019-02-07 22:18:33
Fireduck
if using the jsonrpc is acceptable, the only real missing thing is a way to generate a multisig address giving a set of public keys
2019-02-07 22:18:46
Fireduck
which wouldn't be hard
2019-02-07 22:19:47
Rotonen
@Tilian you’d fork over for the university of minnesota patents?
2019-02-07 22:25:12
Tilian
matter of abusing `AddressSpec.Builder`?
2019-02-07 22:25:14
Tilian
and ew, IP
2019-02-07 22:28:36
Fireduck
yeah, load up an AddressSpec and then AddressUtil.getHashForSpec()
2019-02-07 22:28:45
Rotonen
well, that is why www is a thing
2019-02-07 22:31:23
Tilian
don't think I could fork over enough
2019-02-07 22:31:32
Tilian
and thanks for the insight, fireduck
2019-02-07 22:32:10
Rotonen
and thus gopher remains dead
2019-02-07 22:32:59
Tilian
at least usenet lives...
2019-02-07 22:33:06
Rotonen
do not use the search on wikipedia and read it with lynx and you have about the same experience, though
2019-02-07 22:33:44
Rotonen
usenet is just multipart attachments these days by data volume?
2019-02-07 22:34:07
Tilian
that's pretty spot on
2019-02-07 22:34:49
Tilian
and I'm one of those silly modern elinks guys
2019-02-07 22:35:05
Rotonen
try dillo one of these days
2019-02-07 22:35:10
Rotonen
mind blown
