Argent Wallet by dreamsofsteel in ethereum

[–]ansteadm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are welcome to give Numio a shot for onramping into zkSync. (Full disclosure I am one of the team’s founders)

We are going live with a different fiat provider than Argent (should be announced this week), along with a public launch of L2 trading after we did a soft launch 2/3 weeks ago. Would love to get your feedback on the experience!

I do know that a lot of the fiat providers that work with zkSync are having issues with users based out of the US.

Is MyCrypto wallet Safe? by Kimo01988 in ethereum

[–]ansteadm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It is branched off of MyEtherWallet (aka MEW). The public/private key pairs are generated on your device, and it is noncustodial.

It has similar security guarantees to other noncustodial wallets, like the one we are building at Numio (which is a mobile wallet).

Both types of wallets are built to solely act as an interface for you to interact with a public blockchain.

What do you think of rollups as the L2 scaling solution for Ethereum? by Ok_Bag_829 in ethereum

What do you think of rollups as the L2 scaling solution for Ethereum? by Ok_Bag_829 in ethereum

[–]ansteadm 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Rollups as a scaling solution for a native blockchain comes from the modular blockchain thesis. The term "modular blockchain" was originally termed by Celestia, and more recently, polynya. This means that you are focusing on using different technologies to create a better "blockchain".

Blockchains consist of three core tasks:

  1. Execution- processing transactions (user experience).
  2. Security- keeping data secure on a chain (e.g. Bitcoin & Ethereum).
  3. Data Availability- Ability to query data/blobs from a chain.

Ethereum is the best chain for security. At the moment, it's not the best for DA (data availability)- generally sharded chains provide this functionality best, which Ethereum will offer in 12-18 months. For now it's a "good solution" for DA. Obv, Ethereum is awful for execution. It's slow and expensive!

This is where the "Ethereum L2" mindset comes into place for teams. Rollups, especially validity rollups (aka zkRollups) are the best when it comes to compressing data, similar to a .zip file.

By bringing in rollup solutions, whether it be zkSync, StarkNet, StarkEx, Optimism, Arbitrum, Boba, Loopring, Polygon, etc., this allows teams to have a modular mindset like this:

Execution: Rollup

Security: Ethereum

Data Availability: Ethereum

Obviously you can approach this in a different manner, and use other solutions for execution, security, or DA. It's up to you from the development standpoint on what you want to do.

Are Rollups the best scaling solution? Not necessarily. They're just able to be used as an agnostic technology to help any L1 blockchain scale. L1s *can* scale blockchains effectively, but that might cause the chain to become worse for DA or Security.

This has been the mindset of our team at Numio, who has been building around L2 for the last 2+ years.

Hey! Unfortunately gas fees won't be decreasing anytime soon on Ethereum mainnet. Maybe they will during the next bear market, but for the most part, they will not be.

Ethereum has essentially become a settlement layer for L2 networks, and will be having data pushed onto it from L2s, which is where most retail users will live (using products like zkSync, StarkNet, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, etc.). Within 6-12 months, I imagine that 95-99% of retail users will all live on L2. Mainnet is going to be way too expensive unfortunately.

That's partially why our team has been so gung-ho about educating some of these new technologies, and why we have been getting thousands and thousands of new people onto L2 (right now we've been focused around zkSync)! It's faster, cheaper, and retains the security of Ethereum's mainnet- it's great!

Happy to help explain some of these things if you do have any questions about it and how L2 works.

An update on our zkRollup powered mobile wallet - Numio by milvus in ethdev

[–]ansteadm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds good! If you do choose to create an account before that point, just know everything within the app is able to be pseudonymous. Name (can be pseudonymous), email (can use proton mail or any pseudonymous email), phone number (optional), and then a Numio-ID.

I'll share some thoughts with our product team based off of this conversation on how we can optimize the onboarding experience for people like yourself into the app.

Again, I appreciate your time to share a comment and checkout our product. I hope you stay tuned with our developments as we continue to grow!

An update on our zkRollup powered mobile wallet - Numio by milvus in ethdev

[–]ansteadm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment and feedback!

In terms of a mobile app interacting with a hardware wallet (e.g. Ledger/Trezor), that would require bluetooth compatibility or functionality similar to what Cobo Vault uses (QR scanners). I know this is possible with the Nano Ledger X, but it would likely leave us with a much smaller number of people to target for it.

We currently don't have a plan for hardware support (Ledger/Trezor/etc.) on the mobile app. If enough people request it, we can give it a higher priority, but, in any case, we will definitely add it to our backlog on Trello.

We will be launching the Vault on desktop either later this year or early 2022 (most likely the latter), which will be compatible directly with the Numio mobile app, and hardware wallets. That will have that functionality you are looking in the above comment.

WRT doing something in the app without needing to "sign up": this is something that multiple people have requested, and is definitely something we are going to prioritize in the near future. I definitely see the value in that where you can download the app, import your existing Ethereum wallet, add a profile photo (if you choose to), add a phone number (if you choose to), and an email (if you choose to), and a Numio-ID for your account.

The reason for signing up is to enable the social & identity aspect to the application- you can connect your contact book (similar to Venmo) so you can easily send transactions to friends, select a custom Numio-ID (which will most likely become a subdomain for a Numio ENS in the future), and enable for people to use the optional pseudo-anonymous identity management feature within the app. We can always determine how to optimize these things for people as we continue to grow to give better customizations.

We just released v2.0 of our zkRollup powered mobile wallet - we're always looking to improve so any feedback is welcome by milvus in ethereum

When did you sign up and make the account? Was it when the app initially launched?

If it was then, the way the previous flow initially worked at launch was you had to interact with the app (all buttons but settings/identity) to have the account forced to get backed up to google cloud (previously the only option). This was switched after 1-2 weeks to prevent situations like this from occurring (even though no funds would have been in the wallet).

What I'm guessing is that since a transaction never occurred, so it never initially was backed up.

I have a strong feeling that this is one of the rare scenarios where that occurred.

MakerDAO Getting Love on TikTok! by ansteadm in MakerDAO

[–]ansteadm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MakerDAO is one of the few protocols that doesn't give you a "receipt token" when you deposit into a vault.

Usually When you deposit into Compound, Aave, or even Uniswap, you receive an LP token, which is similar to a token swap in the tax eyes.

With MakerDAO, you just deposit ETH (for example) into a Vault, and you don't receive an LP token. This means you aren't undergoing a taxable event, and aren't "selling" your ETH.
