Heard this several times on the channel as well, thanks for your input. 30k is too much - I'm requesting 10K from the dev. Pretty confident he'll be OK with that. Keep in mind, this app is usable RIGHT NOW. Thankfully Apple changed their stance on crypto recently. He's put of fair bit of time into the dev work and is focussed on releasing new mobile features. He'll be working on the SMS app tonight, but targeting the weekend to have it out.

Spoken a bit in IRC.
First things, first.
Doesn't anyone get involved and actually contribute any more? It seems to me that everyone is just after a 'bounty' and this is may be even a little bit worse, approaching the Dev directly for something that is already on the roadmap.
So.. a 'mobile-app' does not equal a replacement for a 'mobile-wallet'. What is being proposed is a simple JSON-RPC interface and I assume the bounty is to 'tweak' it so that the custom XC (mixer) commands work. Let's be honest, that is not a whole load of work, not even worth a days wages working for a company that would require something like this of you.
Without a 'web-wallet' with an API, this JSON-RPC 'mobile-app' would need to be configured to point towards your local (PC) wallet, so x11coin-qt or x11coind - That would need to be online and accessible over the Internet.
Truth be told, I would have to urge everyone to steer clear of this if it is to be a bounty request. It would not benefit a majority of XC users.
That being said, lnash - If your colleague at work is really interested, ask him to drop by and offer some Demos. XC users that may require this functionality may be prepared to offer something on a per case basis.
