As mentioned elsewhere (Release and support Chinese NuBits immediately), I have agreed to get NuBot ready for multi-currency support in light of that development taking place. The good news is that @desrever did a great job to date and much if the code for multi-currency support exists, it just hasn’t been wired into the logic as yet. My aim is to make the changes necessary and then test them. To that end I intend to spoof a very simple Nu client that just exposes the json rpc commands used by NuBot as well as a simple exchange API that allows me to “place orders” and reports “balances”. I’ll open source both those tools as they may be useful to others both inside and outside of Nu. I will report back here with my progress.
Beyond that, I still have the burn-api/USD gateway project underway. The gateway element needs me to verify my identity documents with OK pay in order to fully activate my account. Once that happens the purchase element will work (selling still needs a bit of work). For the burn api, the main portion of work to date has gone on an extensible blockchain parser and api which ensures that there is no coin daemon on the server that the user interacts with. My aim with the burn api is to provide an open api that can allow content providers to erect a pay wall and share in the proceeds made. A portion of the funds collected through the api will go to the content owner and the rest will be burned. That is my MVP but there are other use cases possible once the structure is in place. I believe it could create a want for NuBits as the token of payment.
