Some feedback: What if an attacker registers a similar looking username on the blockchain for a mitm attack? For example when logging in to bitsharestalk.org the name that appears in the wallet is "bitsharestaIk" or "Bitsharestalk" instead of the original "bitsharestalk".

edit: clarification

@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.

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
