@Gentso1 Difficult to estimate. It depends on how much support the core developers can give, if the BitsharesX RPC is supperior to Bitcoin's so no Electrum-like indexer is needed. It took 6 months of development to arrive at the current level with the Coinomi wallet but I had already a good grasp of the Bitcoin protocol. If I can guess, I would say that in the best case it will take about a month for the basic functionality. For the funding would like to cover the server expences and support a 2-3 person team for at least 6 months so we could develop additional clients for the rest of the platforms.@jsidhu it would be helpful to get the core devs input on this matter. Mobile is challenging because we have low power and memory, erratic and slow connections. Mobile is important because we want people to use crypto-currency in super markets
@Troglodactyl I am familiar with Bitcoin family source code and the low level protocol. BitsharesX is a new beast to me but I from a quick look of the bitshares repo, there are similar concepts.@Rune understood, thanks for clarifying. Even if we cannot collaborate, I am very excited about the potential of this idea!The concept of Coinomi is that of a thin client or Electrum-like architecture. This means that there is a server-side component (Electrum server TX indexer) that offloads massive complexity from the mobile device while still not storing any user keys on the servers. With BitsharesX the approach will be similar, bunch of server/nodes will serve blockchain data on demand to the mobile clients. When the user wants to send money, the client will create a Bitshares TX, sign it and broadcast it via the server. It's not pure p2p but there will be the option for the user to use their own node.edit: typos
What we need is a bounty delegate who will post the appropriate bounties on an as needed basis. It's the difference between hiring an employee and a contractor. The "be the first person in history to get hired by a blockchain" is intended to kill two birds with one stone:1. Genuine publicity2. Gets a valuable thing doneThat is/was my thought process.
Quote from: Rune on November 29, 2014, 01:43:48 pmGiannis, you have to understand that the blockchain can only offer one deal: A paid delegate.While this is true theres no need for all developers to become delegates themselves. If Giannis doesn't want to become a delegate he can pitch his contribution in the delegate subforum and a trusted technical delegate can offer to start up a 100% pay delegate and pay him a portion, keeping hold of the extra funds for other projects. Riverhead talked about setting up a 'projects' delegate.

Hello all,Let me introduce myself, I am Giannis Dzegoutanis, founder of the Coinomi universal wallet. It is native Android wallet that give users the control of their private keys by using a deterministic key chain (BIP44 standard). The current version in the Play Stores supports only BTC, LTC and DOGE, while the beta that will be publicly released this Monday will add support for 5 more coins.I have been watching the BitsharesX from the time of ProtoShares and I like what you are doing. The BitUSD asset is something that the community needs right now (along with similar efforts like NuBits).Coinomi could benefit BitsharesX by providing a simple to use, mobile wallet and BitsharesX could help Coinomi by acting as an angel investor. With the founds gathered, our team will develop native versions for various platforms like iOS, WP, and the 3 desktop OSes. Everything is obviously open source.Here are some screenshots of the latest Android version:...If you want to try the beta yourself, follow the instructions here posted on the Coinomi google groups newsletter (sorry, the forum does not allow me to post external links)I would like to hear your feedback, usability complains, ideas, etc!Sincerely,Giannis

Don't say "first person" because there are already about 5 individuals being funded by BTS.
I'm adding mail to the desktop wallet. I'd like to use that for the lightweight wallet. I am anxious to use the jslib code and mature it. The web wallet will need to become a little more modular so we can reuse parts for the phone/web or desktop.
...and, well um, I am in need of the position!

Make a job for your self.
I wrote an article for this and posted it to nullstreet.
I like "headhunted by a blockchain". Even though it sounds a bit like a horror-movie
I'd say, don't give people ammunition to shoot you down when you make claims like 'worlds first', otherwise you'll spend a lot of time firefighting and back-tracking instead of discussing the good points.At the very least, put a * marker around the claim and then in the small print describe the details of why they wouldn't technically be the first.
Quote from: bytemaster on November 28, 2014, 01:04:28 amDon't say "first person" because there are already about 5 individuals being funded by BTS.I already sort of addressed this in the post but I guess I should expand a bit on my reasoning, posting from nullstreet:When pitching this to the broader community I don't think we should give up or condition the "world first" and "historical" buzzwords, just alter the context. Since people will never have been exposed to this phenomena before it will make sense to them that this is the world first, and if the pitch is epic enough with "make history bla bla" even the bitcoiners will get excited by it. Maybe we should change it to "be the first person in the world to get headhunted by a blockchain!" Or "worlds first blockchain job opening for everyone". Maybe I'm simply wrong, but I think "be one of the first to make history/be one of the world first at x" removes a lot of the buzz from it since it's kinda self contradictory, so for marketing reasons it's better to slightly change the wording of what it is they're world first at.It will definitely be the world first decentralized community hiring effort anyway, so we're not being dishonest about it being a world first. As long as we are honest we should go for the most epic and eye-catching event name possible, to maximize the attention and value we can get out of it. But let's see what names people can come up with, maybe we can find something everyone likes.
I guess 'first person hired' has been taken. What about 'first person sponsored' by a blockchain.The blockchain could specifically sponsor the something/someone guaranteed to generate the most publicity & notoriety for BitShares.
I had this basic idea down as an article to write for marketing for a while, been meaning to write it but got overloaded with other stuff. I didn't tie it to a specific job opening though, thats marketing gold dust . I thought it would just generally attract developer interest and get a load of press (that being hired by a blockchain is now a thing).I could write a pop-tech slant version which would be just the kind of thing tech blogs like i09, wired, boing boing, etc would publish. HPenvy's list of journalist contacts could be utilised. Why not pay for a press release? This is a big deal. I was going to write about DPOS + the blockchain now being able to hire people, but this is a more distilled idea.The details of the exact job requirement should be posted somewhere. Then even though in reality we want devs of many types, it will be more mainstream accessible to call it a specific job opening to work for a blockchain.
Getting an external dev to do this is a waste of resources. The marketing is maybe worth it, but we can already use Zach Lym for that. I don't see anyone rushing to make a PR that we potentially poached a namecoin dev.We have the talent, but BM decided that having them build FMV's demo is the best use of their time right now. Maybe focus your effort on getting dan and adam to justify that cost and explain how their master plan for getting voters registered on BTS is worth the risk...

He liked the idea because there are minimal resources to develop a mobile wallet. This will also attract a broader array of talent for other projects. But if you think there is free talent available now or in the near future I can't argue with that.Good to hear. I agree with the strategy overall. But, if you want to pump blockchain hiring devs news, pump Zach Lym, don't wait for something "better". If you want to hire devs, it'll be easier to get web devs for all the infrastructure stuff we need.I guess let's start by identifying all the roles we need filled.
