ventually BitAssets with yield will be a big draw for Bitshares, perhaps the biggest.

It is definitely what initially attracted me to BitShares. A mechanism that allows for storage of wealth in a currency/asset that I am sure(r) will be more stable than $speculatingcoin ? And it pays interest, even?

It still sounds too good to be true. But what do you know, so far it has actually worked..

Sounds good, and in case it wasn't clear from my previous posts, the effort is appreciated. It's much better to have a mobile wallet without TITAN for now than having no mobile wallet at all.

So keep up the good work!


Any word on publishing the apk to f-droid ? I could test the app if it lands there too and begin spreading the gospel around here as well.

The client isn't tor compatible. Which reminds me, ORBOT support for the android app would be pretty neat.. moot point of the phone is rooted, but I suppose most users don't have rooted phones.


And sure, but it only takes one slippage for anyone to be able to link your entire balance to your public account name.

At least with bitcoin and others you can just generate a new address. And even there using Tor is preferable so that linking transactions by IP is not possible.


With bitshares you're one command away from revealing the balance of any non-titan registered account, as you know!
Essentially, a privacy nightmare.

You also need to know the WHOLE blockchain .. and that does not fit well with "leightweight" mobile wallet :)

Right, good point. Do we have some sort of SPV ?

not supporting TITAN does not mean you cannot use registered account names .. though you can only receive publicly .. not anonymously ..

I am aware. My issue is with receiving publicly, you could say I'm someone who enjoys the right to privacy (have you heard anyone else bitching about how difficult it can be sometimes to access the forum over tor? :)).

Sorry xeroc, what exactly is the problem in scanning all transactions? Not sure if I follow.

Sure it would be slower and it would eat up more battery. Perhaps default to non-TITAN on mobile, have a way to enable it with a loud disclaimer about reduced battery life and what not.

Coupled with supporting >1 wallet (not sure if it already does) this should make it pretty practical.



I for one would not use the software without TITAN .. but I guess I'm in the minority :)

And what about f-droid ? Any plans to make the app available there?

This is not likely to happen with existing banks.

Bytemaster already stated the reasons in the last hangout.. it's cheaper and easier for them to just create their own suited to their purposes.

However, an online bank.. a new one.. that does integrate like you talk about providing the exchange is possible like you described. With the right plan/people it can be done. I can come bottom up.. or top down. Which way it happens will determine which way the profits will flow. I think the world is ready for such an alternative.

That did not cross my mind.. might be way over the top though. The regulations and the bureaucracy must be INTENSE.

Still, a very fine point .. hitting that metaphorical pipe dream like never before (:D), lets say 5 of us independently started 5 online banks in diverse jurisdictions .. then we could already cover a good geographical area, provide sensible banking & have bitshares integration there from day 1.

Now that is a pipe dream.

What's in it for the banks? Why would they adopt a blockchain based transfer system as you describe when they already basically have a monopoly that is making them money in higher fees and that they are in full control of?

The fees question was one of the first things I thought about, of course. I do not have a clear answer, it could be that with substantially smaller fees, substantially more people would transact (this would also bite visa/mastercard tremendously, thought about that?), and the net gain for the bank would be positive.

I am glad that some of you people that wish to integrate with the mainstream financial world at least believe in the reasons the rest of us do about having control over our finances, but you're fooling yourself if you think integration will allow you to do that. You're blind to the dangers and ignore the history of how we got in the situation we're now in, with the banking system and manipulated financial systems in firm control of the majority of the planets wealth.

Well, I would personally never use BitShares through the bank, to me it defeats the purpose. But you and me are not most people, most people do not want the burden of having even 10K USD worth of virtual tokens in their virus-prone nsa-backdoored malware-infected windows system.

Most people are not researching about crypto and mostly everyone seems happy to provide whatever information the banks/governments provide. It pisses me off to no end how the majority has become so docile and what not, but lets be practical here .. having bitshares integrated with the banking system would in no way (well, in maybe one way, which nobody has brought up yet and I'm surprised that is so.. I won't elaborate on one potential massive downside just yet) detract from your experience or my experience of the network.

Appreciated, thanks for sharing.

Please publish the APK @ f-droid.org. There are few cryptocoin apps there (and some of us don't use the play store ;)), this will bring some more users in.


Also - haven't read the 11 pages of this thread - does this wallet support TITAN?

If not, why?
If not, any plans to implement it?
 If yes, any ETA?

You have my vote ken.

Even though I may not always agree with how you approach things and even with some of your ideas, I still believe you to be an asset to BitShares.

Overall the vote is more than deserved. Make us proud :)
