Token prioritization

[ghost]

In light of #6 not being ready anytime soon (and therefore my dream of wallet makers being removed from the decisionmaking process re: token support), I'd like to start a discussion about which tokens we prioritize. This is largely about hive-js, though I do not think that our overall product line should diverge too much/at all from each other.

I am of the opinion that the three tokens we should consider supporting first are DOGE, DARK and LTC, for fairly obvious reasons, but in that order from the perspective of the ideal communities to take up the cause.

I have linked SPV nodes forks etc here: https://github.com/hivewallet/discussions/wiki/Token-support

[PokerKnave]

Obviously KnaveCoin must be supported as it is the most aesthetically pleasing coin out there and you can play the Altcoin Flyers and Divers without any risk.

[nolim1t]

DOGE or LTC are good

[Nogreedy]

Litecoin please, it's the second cryptocurrency

[haustraliaer]

@Nogreedy Hive web already does :)

NXT !!

[Fatih87SK]

NXT has a very bright future and is #3 of all coins right now. It will be a win-win situation if NXT got added.

[ghost]

Can we add NXT without running a blockchain server?

[ghost]

Sure, you could connect to a public node that has API access enabled, if that's what you mean.

[ervandenbosch]

Please consider to add Nxt

[flamingice]

NXT would be great. Did a dev (ie wesleyh) contact you, w-hive?

[ghost]

@nicholashh Not yet, but it would be great to have a direct line on some support for this!

[psic4t]

NXT would be totally awesome!

[ghost]

You can message me or simply make a post on http://nxtforum.org with questions regarding the API.

Once you install NRS, you can go to http://localhost:7876/test to see all possible API calls. http://localhost:7876/doc gives you documentation. You can then click on nxt.http to see all the API classes.

[ghost]

It sounds like we need to look at supporting NXT. :-)

Our understanding is that NXT is actually extremely advanced; we want to be clear that if we support it, at least for the time being we would just be supporting send/receive/balance-level functionality for the main token itself.

[PokerKnave]

We could do with some help for Knavecoin which is clean, aesthetically pleasing with great potential.

[mackuba]

How exactly is a cryptocurrency "aesthetically pleasing"?...

[PokerKnave]

aesthetically pleasing in the sense that the equation which is creating the coin also create the coins logo in the physical world. Have a look at the initial interpretation of the coin and how it can develop with time and usage http://www.knavecoin.com/

[farl4web]

Nxt would be great, because it also represents the second generation modern cryptocurrency, such as Hive also represents.

[ghost]

Huh? :-)

[pnosker]

VeriCoin should be supported!

[ghost]

From now on we ask that anyone who posts here also post a link to developer docs, their GitHub and an API that we can use. Cheers!

[GeertJohan]

@w-hive What kind of API do you mean? We're working on a newer guldencoinj (based on latest bitcoinj), which we'll release in a few weeks. Guldencoin github is github.com/nlgcoin Docs: docs.guldencoin.com (work in progress though)

[mackuba]

@GeertJohan to include a new coin in Hive Web, we need an external API (as in: a web service on a server somewhere) to connect to its network, since a JS app in the browser can't make connections to TCP sockets directly.

[GeertJohan]

@jsuder ah I understand. Does this API need to provide wallet functionality (get balance, send coins, etc)? Or just methods to inspect the blockchain, call up transactions, transmit raw transactions, etc?

[mackuba]

The wallet (seed, private keys etc.) is maintained locally, what's needed is things like a way to fetch transactions for a given address, to send a transaction already signed client-side, etc. ( @weilu can provide more specific info)

[GeertJohan]

@jsuder @weilu Nice. Do you have a list of required methods? Or can you point me to an existing API that's being used for this (other coin) that is designed well? We can definitely make this for Guldencoin. Either by forking an existing project, or (if need be) writing it from scratch.

[boxxa]

Pinkcoin would be a perfect fit for this wallet!

[weilu]

@GeertJohan We use http://blockr.io/documentation/api.

We currently are using the following endpoints:

address/info/
address/unspent/
address/txs/
address/unconfirmed/
tx/info
tx/raw
tx/push

Be sure to support batch queries like blockr does.

Oh yes, Mooncoin (MOON), please. Would be so cool to see my favourite coin supported. :-)

[bhkien]

Darkcoin - Now called "DASH" is very promising.
