Is Nudroid still download chain to my phone?

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

i cann’t copy my address as a receive

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!

The full amount wont be put on the market all at once.

It is not mentioned in the proposal, it seems.

And

BDroid6QBUXXt7QFD51BixZzmEgwmTBMNX , 16000

the 16K are paid in a single transfer.

Am I mistaken?

[MatthewLM]

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.

[MatthewLM]

You can copy a NuBits address with the following button, though note that it copies the entire URI.

voted.

[huafei]

should i wait for download all the block?

[MatthewLM]

You can receive funds without full synchronisation, though you will have to wait for the synchronisation before your transaction shows as confirmed and you can spend the funds.

[huafei]

oh no…

i still have to download the block

[Cybnate]

Make sure you vote for the upgrade. No need to download all block headers any longer.

Please support this grant by adding the following vanity address and amount to your wallet:

A post was split to a new topic: NuDroid integration with NuLagoon

[Cybnate]

This grant passed! It is exciting to see further investments in NuDroid.

I’ve just countersigned the contract and will transfer the first term of 4,000 NBT in next 24h. This will formally start the contract and with that the development for release 1.

[Cybnate]

Developer Matthew has started the work on NuBitsj and while he is busy for a while I like to share you a few ways you can use the NuDroid wallet for soon:

When you happen to live in the Swiss town of Zug you can pay for public services with NuDroid. It is a trial, but still.

Swiss Town Accepts Bitcoin for Public Services

When you happen to be a user of the popular Lastpass password manager you can settle for the paid accounts with NuDroid’s shapeshifted Bitcoin’s anytime soon. http://thebitcoinnews.com/password-manager-lastpass-hints-at-bitcoin-acceptance/

The gamers amongst us probably already know that popular service Steam also accepts NuDroid’s shapeshifted Bitcoins from the NuDroid wallet. http://www.pcmag.com/news/344114/steam-now-accepting-bitcoin

Unfortunately you all need to have a bit more patience as Shapeshift.io is still building on their infrastructure after the hacks and have yet to add back NuBits. The response I had upon querying them is that they couldn’t provide a timeline but that they will be supporting all coins supported before the hack. I’ve good hopes that they will have added back the NuBits coin before release 2 (receiving Bitcoins and others with NuDroid) will be ready to be tested.

Update: Great news, just noticed that NuBits have been added back to Shapeshift.io. That means you can again pay everywhere Bitcoin is accepted with your NuDroid wallet.

Considering the recent downtime of Shapeshift I wonder how expensive an integration of Blocktrades would be.
Technically it should be possible similar to Shapeshift, but what do I know…
Having a conversion selector displaying the rates of both exchanges would be nice

From https://blocktrades.us/about

Our conversion services can be directly embedded into 3rd party wallets and web sites via our public REST-based API. Full documentation on our API is available at https://blocktrades.us/api/v2/explorer. For most integrations, only use of the high-level API function “initiate-trade” is necessary.

[Cybnate]

Based on that full API integration did cost 14k and latest updates to API are 7k, my guestimate would be somewhere in the middle say $10k depending on all the ‘nice’ features you want to have.

However I would recommend to eye for some kind of B&C integration as the next step as it would make NuDroid even more resilient, but I have to declare an interest as B&C shareholder here
Henry suggested an integration with NuLagoon, but given it workings that might be a bit complex to make it seamless and user friendly. Maybe something for the next release? Like to hear opinions of others.

I would explore both first before looking into BlockTrades. We don’t know much about that company and who is behind it and whether they are still around next year. Just my views.

Quick update regarding development of release 1:

Changes have been merged from bitcoinj 0.13.6 into nubitsj. Modifying some elements for Nu and getting the unit tests working are now being progressed. After that the changes will be merged into NuDroid. After testing that, the work on the other changes for the first release commences.

See the details of the release here: https://daology.org/proposals/b90d9bcdbaee28337bc017e605e21f4b40109c9d

[MatthewLM]

I’ve almost finished the changes to nubitsj. There is just one bug that I need to fix. One of the things included with this nubitsj update is a module named wallettemplate which provides a template that developers can use to create wallet-based applications.

[Cybnate]

The required changes to NuBitsj have been done and uploaded to my repo here: https://github.com/Cybnate/NuBitsj. This basically represents the work to date for release 1. Feel free to make copies as it is under an open source license, but still copyrighted to the NuShareholders.

Nubitsj is only a kind of middleware and doesn’t do anything by itself, but is very useful to build upon as Matthew showed above. Maybe it can still be used for B&C or Peercoin. To transfer NuDroid towards the new platform more needs to be done and doesn’t provide immediate value in itself. Significant work still needs to be done to finish the activities for release 1 (valued at $4,000 or 4000 properly pegged NuBits).

Given the current situation I suggest it is best to indefinitely postpone this contract and NuDroid development until the peg is restored or another mutual agreement to continue the development can be reached between the Shareholders and myself representing the developer.

I propose that I will keep the funds for another 3 months or so and then burn them unless another agreement is reached beforehand. I will raise a motion accordingly soon.

[Cybnate]

With the peg re-established, you might want to check out your NuDroid wallet. In the last few weeks Matthew worked on a few issues to fix a corrupted database on the server. We also went back from Nu v2.1 to v2.0x.

I just synced my NuDroid successfully up to today. It will take about 30-40 minutes depending on your network connection if you haven’t updated in the last 3 months. The NuBits explorer is also back online and synced. Please let me know if you have any issues.

As you know the last grant which also was supposed to fix the long sync times is on hold. Will work with @phoenix and @MatthewLM to determine a time to continue the work on the grant.
