RE: Gridcoin Web Wallet and Android App Alpha
Man way to go! This shows some super impressive initiative!
It seems as of lately we have had many new people join the Gridcoin community and show you don't have to be around for a long time let alone any time at all to contribute.
We seem to have people whom want to retard that in the ranks of leadership , so many people get discouraged and passed up or pass on and you have not had time to be tainted by it.
Because of them , if you are not someones lackey or part of their irc/slack/steemit/cct/mumble/etc fanboi club or agree with all of their ideas or thoughts & views you get belittled, ostracized and shunned.
I am glad to see someone new just jump in and do something original and not lurk the different social media forums to steal someone else's ideas or work.
Over the past 8 months of the Gridcoin mumble sessions people have talked about wanting to make a stand alone BOINC/Gridcoin OS ( myself included ) but do not code or coding is very limited , same with a portable/web based wallet along with an Android client or per the last session " GridcoinLite " for Android. I would encourage you to join the next one if possible ( or next possible one for your life ) and get some real time feedback and ponder some ideas. @peppernrino has many great ideas in relation to a portable/android/web client and would be a valuable asset in this project , as much as this project is a value added asset to Gridcoin and the Gridcoin community itself.
Hi @jamezz and thanks for the feedback. I did joined discussions both here and on slack at about same time (about 2 weeks ago) without knowing anyone, here nor on slack. I did found that Slack is a way more 'conservative' territory, that could easy discourage someone if he is not able to defend his grounds. But the good side of that is a productive criticism. Here is more open and more encouraging, but at the end of day, if whatever you do (no matter if it's good or bad) get's tons of great reviews, you would not be able to tell if you are doing fine or not. So I try to collect opinions on both and "find the middle one".
I would definitely try to engage with your ideas as well, try to contribute as much as possible. In my personal opinion it's not that important how much high quality work we do, it's important that something is happening, so I would personally support any idea in the most possible constructive way. If i can't help, i'll try to keep my mouth closed :)
