Hi Chronos! Congratulations on being elected.
Thanks! I'll take your questions in order.
We know you'll be working on the UI of 1.0 but nothing more has been disclosed. Will you give us some more details on your role?
Well, so much is still under wraps, so I don't want to spill the wrong beans.
Version 1.0 GUI is implemented as an HTML5 application, so that's my area of focus. This is in contrast to the C++ backend, which drives the blockchain tech. The two applications communicate via websockets.
Will you be coding the UI or just advising & testing?
I'm a coder by trade, so I'm helping to code the HTML5 interface.
Will you give us some examples of user interfaces which you hold in high regard?
This question is slightly off-target, since it's implies I'm a UI
designer as Cass is. Instead, it might be better to think of my role as one that gives the design its functionality.
To answer the question, though, perhaps it's sacrilegious to mention this, but I find the
Coinbase UI to be very clean.
Once 1.00 is released - can we count on you making some YouTube videos presenting the new UI to newcomers?
You are probably referring to my
Chronos Crypto Youtube Channel. At this point, Bitshares is hiring me as a coder, and that channel is a separate brand. However, some sort of partnership is certainly possible in the future.
Thanks for the questions!
