[ANN] Dappy Wallet – a decentralized wallet built on Blockstack

[uzi]

Hello everyone,

I'm Eugene from BCnet. We are doing a decentralized multi-currency wallet for Blockstack and ShapeShift Bounty – Dappy Wallet (https://dappywallet.com). Is a light universal wallet with decentralised storage powered by Blockstack. It uses Gaia decentralized storage and encryption option. In-app exchange is supported by ShapeShift, it allows to convert coins to each other in the most intuitive and easiest way. Dappy Wallet doesn't store or proceed user private key, the all data are securely stored in the Gaia.

We are guided by several core principles:

*Open source and transparent solution

*Decentralized Auth and Storage

just want to add that Gaia is real decentralized storage and it allows to use web-based light wallet without copying backup file from one computer to another one. You need just login with Blockstak ID, that's all.

Are there any minimum deposit amounts ?for the wallets ?

Hi, thanks a lot for your feedback and interest!
No limit! Dappy is a light wallet like MyEtherWallet, Exodus. The app provides you an easy-to-use interface to interact with top blockchains: bitcoin, ethereum and etc.

Dappy is the decentralized wallet in terms of data processing, we are using blockchain for the data encrypted storage. It makes possible don't use backup file for the web wallet.
1. you granted access to the data through your Blockstack account to the dapp that wants to get access to the data. The app asks for the permission in first launch, so you can match it with account data you want share. There is no difference between desktop/mobile, you can use a mobile browser in case of adaptive layout supported for sure.

2. As I mentioned we are not using smart-contracts to implement the wallet, it's react web application. You can use Dappy as light wallet. We are not managing user keys, supporting top crypto coins and ERC-20. You can create or restore the wallet and manage your assets.

3. BTC, ETH, ETC, LTC, DOGE, BCH, DASH, BTG + any ERC20 tokens at the moment. You can add a custom token in the wallet, either in case we don't have it in the predefined list of top hundreds of tokens. You have an option to add it by smart-contract address, then it will appear in your wallet only.  We have on roadmaps top-20 list of coins, omni, blockstack tokens and more exciting features.

Pleased to announce the launch of our new website – https://dappywallet.com
We'll appreciate any feedback!

Is the Dappy Wallet currently active and working?

About a week ago I registered a blockstack user account and loaded the Dappy Wallet via the web application (then at the app.bcnet.io) domain.  Just now I went to reload the Dappy Wallet under the new domain (app.dappywallet.com) and after going through the redirect to restore the blockstack account and then back to app.dappywallet.com the result is a blank gray screen with the text "Login verification in progress".  Reloading periodically over an hour or so always resulted in the same empty screen and message.

So it seems the web application Dappy Wallet, or maybe the blockstack systems such as Gaia it depends on is currently offline.

After logging in to the Blockstack Browser (at https://browser.blockstack.org/) and then logging in to Dappy Wallet it authorized me.  If it is intended to work this way, such that a user must log in to the Blockstack Browser first and not directly via the Dappy Wallet web page, I think it could be a good idea to mention this on the Dappy Wallet page itself.

In the pop up showing the private keys for wallets, the p element has classes key and description, and then in the CSS there is

.bijsdo .description.key {
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

which leads to the private keys being cut off, ending with a trailing ellipsis because they are too long.  The ancestor div with the bijsdo class only allows 330px for width, and then it loses 40 more px in padding.  Given the importance of the private keys, I think it is important to make sure they are always completely displayed.


Why are there unusual names for the wallets, such as Bitcoin lobster-during?

Hi,
yes, Dappy is currently active. You need to be login in Blockstack Browser or Blockstack Desktop for work with wallet. Mention of this and displays the full size of private key with new fix will appear in the next release after some code refactor for public release.

The animals are a fun way that will distinguish your wallets. It is similar to Anonymous animals on Google Docs. You can manually rename them.
