Anyone interested in buying a working (unpublished) crypto app?

[sellingmycode]

Hi all,

I recently finished developing a crypto investment app that allows users to invest in a portfolio of crypto (BTC, LTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, and DASH) based on their risk level (the app calculates the volatility of each asset on the fly and creates a portfolio that they fund with USD). Very similar to Circle, but has a unique angle (people only need to know their risk level, they don't need to know anything about crypto).

Would anyone be interested in buying the source code for this? I don't know what the going rate would be, so i'm interested in seeing some prices you would suggest if you are interested. I also have 500+ email contacts for people that have willingly signed up for a possible beta. It's built with swift (so iOS only) and I would also provide a backend API that calculates risk-levels that the app pulls data from. It contains all of the files and instructions to build the app, services (servers) and wallets.

Cheers

The thing is that you're probably never going to be able to get the app published in the App Store or Google Play, right?
They're never going to allow a crypto investment app, at least that's what I would think.

Perhaps someone else could comment on this, since I've personally never released an app, so I'm not completely sure what the review process entails.

eternal gloom is right on what he said, but there is a loophole from it. You should create a website of your service first in order for you to somehow create a app version of it. Directly having a crypto investment app without any website backing it will instantly deny it to ever be published in any of the app store. You must make your service legit first by creating a website for your main business not the app first. Google and Apple is strict now and don't want to be attach on this kinds of services which solely is running from their app store.

I think that could be a loophole, but in that case you do have to make sure that the investment portion isn't included in the app itself, right?
OP's app is only that, so it would be pretty much useless, I would think.

I don't think that this in the right place to ask your question. Probably you can go ask in Marketplace board. Personally though, I will say that I'm not interested in buying. Sorry buddy.

@eternalgloom has raised a valid concern here. Specially if the apps is build around IOS only. I'm not sure about the loophole though, but its going to be difficult per se. Why don't you used it yourself though? If the apps can 'calculate' and help you in making profits then there's no need to sell it, IMHO.

If the app is actually that good and abides by all the government required  KYC policies, it can be published in the app stores just like how exchanges are hosted there. I mean if it's really worthy, people wouldn't mind downloading the source files lol

It's simple, they don't give a damn as long as you're not directly stealing from people. There are many gambling apps in the market which are run by unlicensed casinos.

The source code would include KYC functionality through Blockscore, getting state licenses would be a pain but certainly possible with the correct legal counsel. I would also sell it for a steep discount if you don't intend on publishing it as is/changing it up and using the code just as reference.

Actually, I'm not sure investment apps themselves would get blocked from those 2 stores - just type investment app on Play Store and you get pages of similar apps. The crypto-related keyword might be the issue, though really, if you build a good reputation and get enough test results plus transparent portfolio of historical performance, I daresay you don't need verified ratings from those stores to get your app popular.

And there's where you should start.

Remember than Indian girl who made an app that only tracked portfolios? That's what she did. Made a product that works, was free, and had people using it easily. Sold for millions of dollars. So get your app published and work on it. Make it great, and the offers might come instead of you looking for them.
