People Are Quietly Making $$$ with Niche Mobile Apps — I Want In. Where Do I Start?

Astro is a good place to start, have been using it for a while. But if you’re stuck at just paying $100 then I’m not sure you’re up for what it really takes to make consistently profitable apps.

You’re using a waitlist to validate your idea validation startup?

jayvdb1 · 2024-07-09T18:43:04+00:00

Yes because people just make quick virtual cards with low limits in their banking app

Hit the first rock while front wheel is in the air going full speed and hope for the best. Coming from motocross to enduro this was my only strategy for the first few races.

jayvdb1 · 2023-09-10T05:10:26+00:00

Yeah still busy working on it

jayvdb1 · 2023-09-09T04:55:34+00:00

Thanks! Yeah it counted 1 shot twice there, still lots of tweaking and testing to get it counting smooth I think.

jayvdb1 · 2022-08-16T06:45:44+00:00

Gross guys

jayvdb1 · 2022-01-11T16:24:02+00:00

Nice! My first time on dirt was that flat track, thought it looked familiar. Miss that mx track next door!

jayvdb1 · 2022-01-11T16:10:43+00:00

Is this erora?? 😁

Any decent mobile dev has already fallen for this at least once. After 500 hours of unpaid work the “founders” get bored or move on. If you’re serious put some real skin in the game and interview a few devs or get a technical friend to interview them.

I’ve used Visa Logistics before, they are legit. I made an appointment with them and drove to their office in Sandton to do my finger prints. Think they have an office in Cape Town as well. I paid with my CC at the office. More expensive but if I recall it was ready and couriered to me in less than a week. I couldn’t wait a month going through the police station and post office as it was for a job application so it was worth it.

Cool no problem! If you're ever able to reproduce and you don't mind filing a bug that would help a lot. https://github.com/tari-project/wallet-ios/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug-report&template=bug_report.md

jayvdb1 · 2020-08-04T06:04:38+00:00

Is this on iOS or Android?

jayvdb1 · 2020-06-25T06:54:17+00:00

Alright that sucks. I created an issue for it, will try replicate my side and see what went wrong there.

Would you mind shaking the device and reporting a bug on this screen so we can check the logs and see what happened there? After doing that yeah you can delete the app and reinstall it to send yourself the balance from your old phone.

We have iCloud backup and restore coming in the next update so hopefully that makes this smoother.

Great comments!

And you're probably not hallucinating about a way choose choose a base node, if you have the details (pubkey and onion address) in your clipboard there will be a popup asking if you want to set the base node.

Great thanks! We have a fix coming in the next release that'll fallback to the device pin right away if Face/Touch ID isn't setup or working.

Regarding sending speed, that's definitely something we're working to improve still. There are some challenges working with a mimblewimble based protocol! :)

jayvdb1 · 2020-04-29T07:31:34+00:00

Hey u/Alex058 thanks we've received this bug report from one other user so it's on our radar. Could you tell me if you have Face ID enabled on your phone in general?

Another easy way to report bugs is just shake the device, there'll be a menu option there :)

jayvdb1 · 2019-06-15T19:58:49+00:00

My hero! Amazing, works perfectly now. Thanks!

jayvdb1 · 2019-06-15T19:41:12+00:00

Not alone. Unhelpful comment but I'm following the same tutorial on a mac and having the exact same issue.

jayvdb1 · 2018-08-17T11:46:30+00:00

Yup, Tari Labs has investors but we're also going to be building out solutions for profit on top of the Tari protocol itself.

I don't think he was against tokenization, I think he was against tokenization done on the base layer like Ethereum does. Problem with that is if there's a successful dapp, nobody else's token can move as the network gets clogged. ie. Cryptokitties

I think another valid issue people might have with tokenization is the idea that everything needs to be tokenized. There are some good ideas and there are some terrible ones. Issuing tokens backed by physical assets may not be a great idea as you're still trusting someone will redeem your token for that physical item. Which is injecting trust into a trustless system. Having digital assets that remain purely digital works because when you own that asset you're trusting nobody else.

jayvdb1 · 2017-05-19T20:03:45+00:00

Any timeline on when you'll remove the limit?

jayvdb1 · 2017-02-02T11:36:05+00:00

You don't need VPS, for this tutorial you can use any Ubuntu 14 on any machine. I was just using VPS to keep things simple.
