With the loss of the secondary server Anton for NuDroid and the greatly reduced usage of NuDroid according to the server statistics (hits), I wonder whether it is worth to continue to invest in this service. The current service also needs to renewed (domain, certificates etc.) within a month.
I’m particularly reaching out to the ‘new’ shareholders who are not that chatty in this forum and @phoenix whether they still see value in a decentralised easy to use mobile wallet like NuDroid or that they prefer to have the service handed over to them and centralised or just decommissioned being heavily focussed on centralised exchanges and liquidity.
In discussion with the developer it became clear that the risk profile of being paid in NBT has increased and that he wishes to have more upfront payment than the original contract allowed for. I believe that is reasonable given the current state of affairs. The other option is to wait until e.g. the New Year assuming the reserve targets have been met by then and leave the current NuDroid service provisioning in a less than desirable current state.
I think NuDroid is a state of the art product with many opportunities which will encourage usage of NuBits as it was always intended and generating transaction fees. NuDroid is not only about holding a stable cryptocurrency in a wallet, but also having the ability to seamlessly spend them everywhere major cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin and Litecoin) are accepted. The current proposal also includes adding Ethereum to that list and almost instant use after startup (no lengthy syncs). And on top of that strong selling points as no user logging, no user tracking, no advertisements. We will also need to find another NuDroid server host to provide the desired robustness with Anton’s disappearance.
I hope the ‘new’ shareholders see the value in investing in NuDroid now too, and I’m looking forward to feedback.
