We are in the process of developing an Android wallet for Electra. There is a tough decision to make:

Option 1: We can either have a staking wallet with pruning as originally promised but due to the recent increase in block size it could potentially take up about 3 GB even in pruned state assuming blocks are full. A reduction of our block size or some other modification to the blockchain would be necessary if this path is chosen so that it takes up less space. With staking mode turned on, phone battery will be reduced quicker. Also network security may be impacted if people prefer staking on mobile. On the plus side you will be able to stake on the go 24/7.

Option 2: We can have a wallet that is non-staking and pruned. It will take up less space and consume less phone battery than a staking mobile wallet. This one will take a shorter amount of time to develop.

Whichever one is chosen, I will consider my long term goal of “create Android mobile staking wallet with pruning" complete. So if you have strong opinions on one or the other make it known here. I will mainly rely on the opinion of the foundation and stakeholder comments/votes while making this decision.

I don't see any sense in creating an android wallet that will take 3 gb of my disk space and I do not think the reward I will get would even be worth it, no one is ever going to download that wallet I can assure you.

What you should do is to create the binaries for the wallet then use api to write the wallet for the android app, anyone that want to stake should go download the pc version or you can write it in the code that staking will sync with a central wallet though it's not cool.

This is about the second time I am hearing people talk about this project and I bet it's about time I take a close look, though the reviews are not so encouraging, I will have to see for myself before I have any say on the matter
