NuDroid v3 - with Shapeshift integration now available on Google Play

[Cybnate]

The CMC banner is up as contracted, As you might have heard Shapeshift.io is facing issues due to issues with the Bitcoin network. This is extremely unfortunate timing. I will hold off other activities till Shapeshift service is working properly again with Bitcoin.

It is worth to have a look at the banner though, it cycles with 3 others so you need to reload the page a few times.

[woolly_sammoth]

Only took three reloads. That looks really really good. I hope it drives some attention towards Nu.
Thanks for your continued hard work on this @cybnate

Very very good!

Those who don’t actually use it will see the ad and get the message – ad mission accomplished; Those who use mobile wallet will think going pure Nubits – still very good result.

The banner looks very well! What are the conditions for using that animated gif? For example: is it allowed to distribute that gif?

[cryptog]

I would be also interested in setting the banner in my web site.

Great work @Cybnate. So far today we’ve received 71 new users from Coinmarketcap.com, compared to 4 yesterday and 9 the day before that. There is no question that the advertisement is generating new attention and awareness. Please keep us updated on the download totals of NuDroid!

@masterOfDisaster @cryptog I’ve uploaded the banner to https://nubits.com/sites/default/files/assets/NuBits_Banner-4x.gif . Anyone is free to use it wherever they like.

Could you clarify what new users means? People who linked from coinmarketcap to nubits.com?

Google Analytics can track where nubits.com is acquiring new users from - those who are defined simply as “a first-time user”. They are the users who Google Analytics think have never visited our webpage before. Naturally, we want to convert those new users to regular users who keep coming back.

We can track new users coming from a Twitter post, a Google search, or a website referral. In this case, 71 new users have been directed from coinmarketcap.com to nubits.com in the past day (out of 118 visitors from coinmarketcap.com total - a very high percentage of new users).

In comparison to the average amount of new users who have visited our site each day from CMC over the past month and a half, it’s clear the NuDroid advertising is drawing a lot of new users.

Thank you.

By the way, I am wondering where is stored the blockchain.
I guess it is provided by a centralized server which does not store your private keys.
Is that correct?

[Cybnate]

That is partially correct. It stores a lightweight version of the blockchain on the device. The private keys stays on your device. With the next version of NuDroid you can run your own server and with that NuDroid will be trustless.

[Cybnate]

Just dropped a Nudroid announcement post in the Bitcoin forums here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

Won’t hurt to keep it on top of the ranks. Maybe some feedback and recommendation from users who are already using NuDroid. Some examples where you used it etc.

[cryptog]

NuDroid you can run your own server

Nice.

Did someone already post about NuDroid in bitcoin reddit btw?

and r/cryptocurrency. r/bitcoin will bury it, but it’s particularly pertinent there so we should post it in both.

[willy]

Man I nearly missed this!

I’m just gonna leave this here, as I didn’t see it on the forums anywhere else.

With the next version of NuDroid you can run your own server and with that NuDroid will be trustless.

Can’t -wait!

Edit: I think it looks good on the front page of www.nupool.net

[Cybnate]

I’m preparing for a giveaway on Reddit cryptocurrency. Won’t even try r/Bitcoin, waste of time.

[cryptog]

Won’t even try r/Bitcoin

I think it s worth trying because the banner clearly conveys the fact that NuBit is here to collaborate with Bitcoin.

[cryptog]

NuDroid will be trustless.

So you need to trust currently that the server will not store your private keys I guess.
But what would be the difference between trusting that the desktop qt client is not sending your private keys somewhere to a remote server?
I am trying to get to know what is pro of downloading the whole blockchain.

[willy]

So you need to trust currently that the server will not store your private keys I guess.

nope. You only trust the server, that it’s feeding you the correct blocks.
This is very important to understand.

[cryptog]

You only trust the server, that it’s feeding you the correct blocks.

Right. Good point. The reason is because you can check the code source i guess and everything is pretty clear inside.
Now the question is in what circumstances you can trust the server to broadcast the correct blocks ?
I would say that if it is for small transactions, like buying a coffee or a restaurant bill( up to a couple of hundreds of nubits inside your wallet) I feel it is fine.
But in case of savings like a couple of thousands, it s probably not a good idea, in principle.
