[ANN][ICO] 💰 Javvy - More than a crypto exchange & wallet combined! 💰

[Javvy]

I honestly feel like the crypto world needs this wallet, (or something similar at least). I hope you guys are able to pull this off.

Thank you for the confirmation that we're on the right track!

[Dipsomaniac]

We are using Stripe.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

So I heard they're doing bitcoin integration, is that why you chose them?

It does not appear that Stripe is supporting bitcoin just yet. At least, it is not an option within our account. We chose them for other reasons.

Maybe it's just a setting you guys need to tick? https://stripe.com/bitcoin

How do you plan to get the word out about your wallet once it's fully launched? Just word of mouth?

Or do you have a marketing campaign planned?

[deeltje]

Eventually the wallet will auto-tumble all tokens?

That would be an awesome feature!

Is this true? I think it see it on the roadmap.

Ooh ooh! This next Javvy!

Curious why you guys put the bounty program on pause for a week?

What kind of features can we expect from the launch build of the wallet that aren't already in the prototype?

Still curious about this.

You can exchange the currencies from within the wallet right? Like trade ETH for BTC?

Yes, our wallet will support conversion of crypto-to-crypto. However, we were forced to postpone that feature for the initial prototype. That feature will likely be added within 1-2 weeks of the first release.

Would you guys consider bringing in a new dev or two to make sure this gets done correctly in a timely manner if need be?

This is our #1 priority, and we are considering all options; including the on-boarding of more developers. We brought on two more in the past 30 days and are getting them up-to-speed. However, things changed on us, because I wasn't even going to build a prototype, at all, and only decided to spend the large sum of money to do so as a backup plan. When, the ICO landscape changed in October, it became apparent that not having a product was no longer an option.

At that time, we ramped up and put more priority, but we ran into several difficulties with the technology side of things. Those delays would likely not be avoided by simply having more developers.

It looks like you are correct! However, it is a matter of our integration not supporting that feature, and now we are awaiting stripe approval to process bitcoin payments for our account. Stripe charges 50% of the service we were using, so thanks a LOT for questioning that and pointing it out!

Hello all!

I think this round of answers catches us up

Curious why you guys put the bounty program on pause for a week?

The bounty rewards program is still in effect. See here.

If you meant the expensive bounty signature campaign, that was paused because it has limited ROI when we still do not have the prototype. While it did spread brand awareness, we must cut costs and focus on getting the wallet prototype launched as a first priority.

Eventually the wallet will auto-tumble all tokens?

That would be an awesome feature!

I do want to integrate a tumble feature into the wallet, but it might be a moot point with Zcash, Monero, etc support. Even with support of those more "anonymous" cryptocurrencies, would you want to see a tumbler feature?

There are libraries to incorporate Tumblebit, which we could add, at some point. However, I don't want to focus on that feature, if the goal of obscurity is covered elsewhere.

As for fees, I know that integrating a 3rd-party tumbler uses fees. I would imagine that Tumblebit would also have to charge fees, but we haven't investigated that feature yet. In any case, tumbling would definitely be "optional" for all users. It wouldn't make sense to provide that degree of obscurity, at a cost, for the average user.

How do you plan to get the word out about your wallet once it's fully launched? Just word of mouth?

We do expect our wallet users to become our viral marketing force!

However, we also plan to promote and market the wallet everywhere possible, once we have sufficient funding.

Currently, we are seeing quite a few, very high quality media platforms picking up what we're trying to do, already, so that's very encouraging also. We feel that the media will latch on to what we're doing and help us generate awareness in the crypto community and with the mainstream.

That's great, I'm so glad I could help

Yeah I think it could become viral, especially with a small marketing campaign once you're in full swing. Get people to use it once, and as long as it's working flawlessly, I don't see why people would ever need another wallet.

It is kinda unnecessary with Monero support, + ETH is working on the whole ZSNARKS thing. It seems like it would be more of a gimmick than anything, but for newer crypto users it could be a selling point. It could also be another source of income if you aren't above taking that route, just put a tiny % fee on top of the standard fee you pay Tumblebit.

You're totally right about the ICO landscape changing. It really seems to be withering up, even perfectly good products, teams, and ideas are struggling from all the bad apples. I don't see how Javvy could be anything but successful though as long as you can actually get your product out there. There's just too much demand for something like this, and the demand grows by the day.

Yeah I meant the signature campaign. That's an understandable reason though. I appreciate you guys taking time from your busy day to answer some questions. If you have time I'm curious to get Brandon's opinion on the whole Parity debacle.

It could still be useful for Bitcoin / Eth, especially since that's what everyone is using. Everyone keeps talking about Monero and Zcash, but in my experience it's less than 1% of all my customers transactions. 98% Btc/ETH.

[earthcoin]

Any new videos planned?

[deeltje]

What exchange do you guys recommend for US users right now until the wallet is up and running?

[okspam]

Is JavvyLee Brandon's wife?

[GoBelle]

What do you guys think of the whole Parity situation? Anything you learned from it?

Thanks for the feedback. You make a good point, so we will still consider Tumblebit integration.
