[Passed] NuDroid upgrade v5 (April 2016)


what LC plan would be the minimum to handle this DNS seed thing?

It’s very slim.
I ran it on a Raspberry Pi B+.

And what is the cpu/mem utilization?

Next to nothing… the DNS seed creates a lot of sub threads. The PHP script doesn’t create much load either, most of the runtime comes from the lag of the CloudFlare API.

I have put this on my to-do list!
Thank you for reminding us.

You might be right, but will need to have @MatthewLM to comment on it.
Anyway, the risk is that anything changed now might need to be revisited again when Nu 3.0 is released. I rather wait until it is more clear how that is going to look like and what changes might be required.

And thanks for the reminder, will have a look whether it is feasible for me to add the Nuseeder to the https://svr1.nubitsexplorer.nu server.

The implementation for dynamic fees as it stands was done to avoid implementing details to the Nu protocol in regards to fee calculations, which are indeed unknown for Nu 3.0 at this point in time. This was largely to make costs lower. The way NuDroid fetches fees should hopefully work with Nu 3.0 when it is released in the future, but to implement the logic from within the app itself, I would need to know the way Nu 3.0 will work.

I can add any new DNS seeds to the app during a release with no problem. Indeed it would make the app more resilient by having no single-point of failure. Though the app can do peer discovery without a DNS seed; it’s just much slower and more unreliable.

Just made a few changes to the proposal and I consider it now a final draft.

Change log:

  • Renamed title to v5 April 2016
  • Removed optional material theme text from proposal.
  • Added release 1E which transitions from NBT to USNBT and has approach for change in Shapeshift.io api.
    This results in an increase of the duration to 7 weeks (was 6) and total cost increase to 16,350 (was 15,350).
    More details in the proposal.

As I have not seen any comments on the optional release for the Material theme I decided to leave it out in the final draft.

The intention is to release it for voting in the next few days, so please let me know if you still have some feedback or comments to improve it or just to support it.

Bump, any more comments. No opposing views I can address?

What is the hourly rate?

There is no hourly rate. It is a negotiated fixed price proposal.
I’m currently finalising the contract with Matthew and make some final adjustments and submit it for voting if there are no other comments.

Thanks for your consideration.

I will put on hold this custodial grant vote until the liquidity issue is solved, hopefully quickly.

Impeding development saves some bucks, but prevents useful tools from being created.
I’d rather see an NSR sale than saving money here.
The liquidity operation costs a lot of money and there’s a lot of potential for saving, but that road isn’t followed seriously.
Why make cuts here instead?
This has the potential to increase adoption.

Also note that the grant amount is split into multiple payments: 4,000 upfront, 8,000 after the first release (including upfront payment for the second release) which could be a couple of months afterwards, and 3,650 after the second release. The full amount wont be put on the market all at once. Details are in the proposal text: https://daology.org/proposals/b90d9bcdbaee28337bc017e605e21f4b40109c9d

Is Nudroid still download chain to my phone?

i cann’t copy my address as a receive

NuDroid doesn’t download the chain, just the headers. After upgrade even the headers won’t be loaded

Not sure if I understand the problem. There is by default only one address to receive funds on. There is no straightforward way to add other addresses. Moving the funds and creating a new wallet by deleting and redownloading the App is probably the easiest way. Don’t forget to make another backup!

It is not mentioned in the proposal, it seems.

And

BDroid6QBUXXt7QFD51BixZzmEgwmTBMNX , 16000

the 16K are paid in a single transfer.

Am I mistaken?

Please view the bottom of “OVERVIEW RELEASES, TIME AND COST” where it says “Proposed contractual payment schedule is as follows”. This shows the planned payments. The 16,000 is given to Cybnate as the custodian and then 15,650 is paid to myself in accordance to this release and payment schedule.
