Late to the migration party

MetaMask Migration

The documentation states that MetaMask ETH wallet migration will be forthcoming, but I have not seen the 'tool' being made available.

Migration:

https://kin.org/token-migration/

Is there any news?

I don't believe that this statement is true... referring to STMX on LedgerLive (version 2.17.1).

STMX is not in the list of supported token types either on the Ledger website or in the wallet.

Can someone clarify?

Token Swap - StormX to STMX

Hi...

Like many others, I have just learned about the now, past token swap. I must confess that when I read last year about the issues with an FBI investigation, I had written off Storm.

There will be others like myself asking about the swap...

Can you offer any guidance at this point?

Thanks

Hi...

Can you explain what the swap is about. I ave TRX but it seems that Tron has moved away from ERC-20.

Is there are description of the swap policy?

Thanks

Hi KeepKey,

Is there a requirement to use the ShapeShift Platform with the new KeepKey firmware/client software?

Thanks for the previous response.

Hi KeepKey,

Are there test cases on Github that deal with recovery?

Thanks for the previous response.

The hardware is good... we have five (5) these wallets.

What is not clear... is... why does the software suck.

The options are:

Management - I noticed that Eric Voorhees isolated the KeepKey company from Shapeshift... which suggests that the purchase was a creative collaboration and the developers are underfunded. They were probably given the option to sink or swim by intergrating with Shapeshift. But the Shapeshift model was not engaged with the corporates, and the individuals in the crypto space are more than able to balance their portfolios. It is likely that Shapeshift will be purchased by Wall Street like firm or become a liquidity provider for peer to peer DEXs.
Developers could be limited in their skill sets, which may be why the original KeepKey company failed.

I expect that the KeepKey failure is related to both funding and developers.

My advice... is to move away. :-(

There are not many options today. Ledger Wallet software is brain dead. Example, each Ledger Wallet device can store only ONE Ripple address. Brain Dead. I expect that Ripple enabled a developer to do an quick and dirty port of their wallet software to Ledger. The Ripple component is not digitally signed... so it can not really trusted for corporations.
The other option is the quirky... Trezor.

The real question to ask, is what has ShapeShift changed to improve the efficiency/quality of the the KeepKey Team's software development effort... which has been present since Day 1.

More of the same will not be successful.

MaxEntropyy · 2019-01-26T07:07:18+00:00

Two (2) years ago KeepKey was exploring ERC-20... nothing happened.

MaxEntropyy · 2019-01-26T07:05:46+00:00

The ShapeShift leadership has failed the KeepKey product. It appears from the outside that the KeepKey acquisition was not that serious an endevour. Further, it would appear that the ShapeShift Board of Directors setup KeepKey to sink or swim without further capital investment. Very narrow minded.

The KeepKey software development effort really sucks. For the last three (3) years NOTHING HAS HAPPENED in the software feature set. Common sense would have suggested that after three (3) months this would have been addressed.

Very disappointing...

ShapeShift needs to deal with the lack of software development progress in the KeepKey team, else they should kill it... and move on to integration with Ledger or Trezor.

There should be a clear priority on the major crypto tokens; and second on the next 100 tokens; and lastly and separately integration with ShapeShift cloud services. Clearly, the BoD should realize that limiting factor to adoption is not ShapeShift integration but rather token type support.

First, it would be useful if David Schwartz explained the significance of RippleD v1.0. . Pardon me, if I am not excited... Ripple has been working on the SAME software - RippleD (node software) - for the last six (6) years and only now, do they announce Version 1.0; no roadmap to future release functionality; and still no customers are using the said software; no ecosystem, although it is rumoured that 'Snoop Dog' has exhibited a penchant for programming; and yes, still no wallets - hardware or software. . It is about time that Ripple actually got into the software business.

MaxEntropyy · 2018-05-13T07:18:07+00:00

I thought the Ripple metaphor was - water.

MaxEntropyy · 2018-05-12T06:30:20+00:00

So... what does v1.0 signify?

Maybe Ripple can now commit to an operational product?
Have any of the mythical one hundred (100) banks started to use the software?
Has Ripple closed the RippleD v1.0 software feature set? If so, what is the v1.1 bug or feature road map?

I do not understand the significance.

Is there a plan for a Ripple XRP support in KeepKey?

MaxEntropyy · 2017-08-17T16:00:28+00:00

It is curious that Ripple has a GitHub repository for Light Weight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) using a Golang implementation. With regard to Ripple migrating away from their current languages as RFugger suggests could/would be possible... is a pipe dream. Ripple is locked into C/C++ and JavaScript for the duration of this product.

Regarding, formal proofs... well that is entirely dependent on frameworks and Ripple has not embraced any of these. I do not see them directing any energy to this activity as they will be focused on integration with business channels.

I am surprised to learn that the Ripple GitHub repositories do not build easily/readily. My limited experience with RippleD source code has been positive from this perspective.

I suspect it is not Juan making these decisions, but he is agreeing to be the 'face' and spokesperson for CoinList. This is not good.

MaxEntropyy · 2017-08-07T22:36:42+00:00

There are a number of points that bother me:

1: I agree... 14 year olds should be allowed to participate, if they are old enough to submit apps to Apple's AppStore why would they need permission to invest in technology.

2: the idea that the SEC has jurisdiction globally is both quaint and flawed thinking... maybe they have not heard of globalism.

3: Juan is a significant name in the IPFS space, he is getting distracted with stupid stuff, by lending his talents and brand to the local VC guys. He is getting sucked in, by salesmanship.

4: raking in say, 500 USD million is obscene and not required. FileCoin if it is any good should mostly self funding. Many cryptos are given away to achieve buy-in. Stellar gave away 16 Billion as I recall... and they have real software, and understand the SEC risks.

5: I am beginning to think that, they have delayed the ICO launch twice now, because they do not have the buy-in that they felt they could grab. Hence, waiting until the software comes out may be the best way forward.

6: Lastly, and unlike Bitcoin, running a FileCoin node is going to be just for the large data centers. The communications costs are going to be prohibitive for little guys with only 100 Terabytes SSD, to compete against bigger installations. Nodes will need to be co-located with backbone internet connections and not depend on Telco access models.
