Thanks for the questions and the effort. I try to answer as clear as possible and donāt hesitate if I failed to answer it sufficiently.
Regarding your first 3 points:
The mentioned features will need about 500 - 750h as far as I would estimate them right now. Currently this burn rate is not sustainable and revenue will certainly have to kick in somewhere, even if it is via a different value stream which can subsidize the wallet development.
The 1Hive funding is right now left open, as it was not clear if these are the most helpful features and therefore I rather think we should fort prioritize and then talk about a possible support put up for a vote. I would turn that question around - if 1Hive supports the development with 5kā¬/week it will get full attention.
Regarding support of user issues - this will be done in public so nothing happens behind closed doors. I think that issues will be solved faster, if everything is public and the community can work together to solve level 1, 2, 3 support together.
ad 1) We also run a validator on xDai. If that persists to be an issue we will provide an RPC ourself and let the wallet switch.
ad 2) thats connected to 1
ad 3) we have that already - every network is handled separately. xDai doesnāt need a gas price oracle right now as Ethereum does, therefore the gas price is hard coded. But that can be changed as soon as this would become an issue.
ad 4) The nonce can be addressed as soon as we can provide a more fine grained transaction log on the wallets send / receive screen. You already have full gas management, which shouldnāt be needed most of the time.
ad 5) Yes, as you stated, it is part of the proposal. Manual adding of tokens is currently added to the wallet. Next step would be to automate it. The naming issue can be solved via the curated list used for the automation and in Minerva it becomes a bit easier, bcs you wonāt have all tokens from all networks on one screen ā¦ they are separated by network and account in the wallet.
ad 6) Due to the secure enclave on a mobile wallet, it can be made with much higher security than desktop wallets or browser plug-ins, but I do see some options for hardware wallets in connection with multi-sig solutions and contract accounts. We have included a Gnosis Safe account generation to the ARTIS Ļ1 test network and that could be used in combination with a desktop wallet and a hardware wallet to have a 2 of 3 signature scheme. Nevertheless, this will need more discussions to find an optimal and generally useful implementation path.
ad 7) I consider the team already quite big tbh. If we reach that level of adoption, that our public Telegram support channel wonāt be enough, we will work something out. It is likely that at that time a community support should be possible to be established.
ad 8) Your keys stay with you and are nowhere else. To support a full wallet recovery the wallet stores the metadata of your wallet in an encrypted form on the lab10 server. As far as we heard through the grapevine, we will get a 10kā¬ grant to implement Fairdrop, where you then can then select to store it on the decentralized Swarm storage network.
ad 9) Is there Linux on mobile? Minerva is mobile only, but as mentioned in 6 there could be a possible path in connection with the Gnosis Safe Multi-sig wallet. We received a grant from them to integrate an NFC card for 2FA and have therefore already established some ties.
ad 10) Iām totally open to talk about integrating swaps, but what I see there are three ways to approach this ā¦ either through full integration and typically some extra fees for the wallet, second via an SDK which is easy to integrate but uses the exchange service and avoids all the UI development and third by using web3 injection on the mobile wallet. The third option is the most likely one and it will be shown as a service in the wallet, which you can remove at any time.
ad 11) As mentioned, iPhone will be supported later and to my knowledge the āsandboxingā for apps is really good on mobile. Hence, they have much higher security. We have not looked yet into the Bluetooth option of Ledger and as mentioned there is also the Gnosis Safe multi-sig option, which could be a nice feature considering that you will have all your accounts (as many as you like) in one interface. Say you have a āworkā Safe account with multi-sig, then you donāt actually do anything with your other accounts and you might just transfer every now and then some funds between them. But as I said, this needs some more discussion
So I hope this covers your questions sufficiently and let me know if I missed anything.
