I've been away for a while and to lazy to go catch up on the game so please humor me if you know the answer
If that damn android app finally comes out will Mint be the first android wallet that allows POS awards?
The initial launch of the mintcoin wallet will not include POS Rewards - however a very easy solution to that would be to import your desktop wallet keys into the android and then disable the new address generation feature on the mintcoin app for your cell phone which would allow the coins to collect PoS rewards through the connection of your desktop wallet while the flexibility of the mobile wallet. We are trying to find the safest and easiest method of doing this for mainstream usage.
I have requested another beta release for the android wallet from Paspi - hopefully I will hear back on that soon. Once the official wallet is out I understand that the code will be released to the community for developer contributions so we will be able to expand the development team and contributions to the android wallet going forward.
The last beta release was buggy; however it offered the same crisp feel as the desktop wallet.
I was impressed with where the app was going in the last beta.
I don't think that the android wallet release is going to cause a massive increase in the short term price; however I do believe that the technology will justly serve as a primary asset to the entire community workings of Mintcoin performance as international method of banking.
We are also in the initial research phases of a web based wallet. Our team is putting together and researching the most secure method of offering a web based solution for our community and pricing out the servers needed to complete the task.
This is currently in the discussion / research phase.
Once we have the block explorer completed and optimized and providing there are no immediate upgrade needs for the wallet we will begin allocating resources towards this enhancement.
Until then...
Keep on minting my friend
