Web Wallet
We are considering creating a
web wallet for HyperStake (like blockchain.info or coinbase).
Why (in no particular order)?
- as always with HyperStake, experimenting!
- first-mover/innovation (and probably at least short-term price rise, even though volume matters more than price). There is no PoS webwallet in existence.
- wider adoption. The demand for cloud services providing a seamless experience (no risk of HDD crash, no requirements for 24/7 stacking on computer or Raspi, no setup...) would encourage people to have HYP.
- also, but not sure, the code could be reused for the HTML5 wallet that would come later (and could make Android staking wallet easier).
- finally, it would integrate nicely with HyperPool. It would really be cloud and green mining!
Things to take into consideration:
- high security.
- high availability (hence, scalability).
- long-term funding.
- webwallets are by design less secure than cold storage of your own wallet (but less prone to PEBKAC, too).
- webwallets are less decentralised.
- the webwallet might not stake, especially at the beginning.
Everyone interested, please join
http://hyperstake.slack.com/messages/webwallet (and read
http://hyperstake.slack.com/messages/beginners-tips first). You only have to PM me an email address (may be a disposable one, as long as you remember the password)
Would be very cool. This would be a game changer.
