2000 PTS - Browser Based BitShares Wallet [TO BE DEFINED]

[archit]

Interested.

The money we get from the bounties will be used to set-up servers in a private bunker in the Swiss alps.

That's so 007. 8)

servers in a private bunker in the Swiss alps.

Too cool.  8)

[domsch]

the Identification authentication should based on keyhotee?

Something we should definitely work on. But as Dan had mentioned, we are trying to build up an MVP that is fully functional and operational for the Bitshares launch. But in our continuous development cycle, we will definitely include this.

[domsch]

Requirements:

1) All private keys are managed on the browser side, the server never has unencrypted access to the keys.
2) Should support the full range of actions possible from the command line client: buy, sell, short, cover, transfer
3) Should display the latest market data from the blockchain

Notes have been taken care of.

We intend to create a one-stop solution and work on this bounty and the block explorer. So in the end, we will be the Blockchain.info for Bitshares.

The money we get from the bounties will be used to set-up servers in a private bunker in the Swiss alps. Will keep the community up to date with our progress!

Ideally yes, but not required given the timelines.

I wish you can add this to the requirement.
Identification authentication with keyhotee should be pushed on. 
this can be used in many projects, even this forum.
It will be very exciting to see this happen  :D

As had been discussed with Daniel, we are going to work on the Web-Wallet bounty and the Block Explorer.

Waiting for Dan to respond so we can agree on the terms of our agreement.

As no one has started any work on this, I am going to give domsch the opportunity to have exclusive rights to this bounty.  I will work to establish the details here and welcome feedback from the community.

I am thinking a browser based wallet would interact with the block explorer bounty for querying the blockchain and/or submitting transactions to the blockchain.   It would effectively implement what my command-line bts wallet does only instead of posting transactions via my binary protocol it would use websockets and JSON.  It also would not verify transactions or store the blockchain, instead it would simply trust the blockchain explorer provider to provide accurate representation of the transaction history.

The goal of this bounty is to make it easy for EVERYONE to get a wallet without having to install anything.

I think it should either be completely independent of the local bitsharesd instance because it makes no sense to visit/login to a site if you can just fire up your local software. Another way is to have bitsharesd act like a webserver which can be reached

I think there are a few options here and I'm willing to work on any of these

• Option 1: Incorporate bitsharesd rpc api and let the site just handle the communication and calls between you and your local instance. Trade updates can be either rpc'ed from the client or at a centralized point and pushed to the clients
• option 2: Same concept but instead of a centralized platform let the user download a ready-to-deploy instance of the platform which he can hosts himself somewhere. Maybe it can be added to option 1, it's platform in depended since it can all be done in javascript and some static html pages

[edit] I'm sleeping over the slick option 3, be back tomorrow with a detailed implementation suggestions [/edit]
[/list]

I am interested in this.

After the wallet website is made, who would have to control it for the bounty to be paid? Would it be run by Invictus?

Also, if I were to get it running in a month, would that still be before the Bitshares genesis block?

i will fork this and try it here https://github.com/sowbug/happynine

Basic JSON-RPC interface is now available which is everything necessary to create a chrome/browser based wallet that talks to the bitsharesd local instance.

Without some work around not sure how possible this is. Chrome extensions are strictly sandboxed.

Google reveals some promising ideas, but I'd have to play around and see if I can get RPC working first.

I saw someone create a chrome extension that talked to a local bitcoind instance.

Source or contact info?

Heads up that we are working to define the requirements for a BitShares wallet like CryptoKit that enables you to buy/sell/short right from your browser without having to download a client.   Start following this thread if you are interested in working on such a project and would like to help define the requirements.

We are going to produce the BitShares API against which this can be developed so development can occur in parallel.
