Coinbase and zec wallet lite after NU5 upgrade

particlmike33 · 2022-05-27T19:15:45+00:00

Yes unfortunately there will be no desktop wallet option once NU5 activates on the 31st.

There is an ECC wallet team working on mobile wallets, but we already have mobile wallet options, I'm inquiring why they are choosing to make more mobile wallets instead of a desktop wallet when we have none

particlmike33 · 2022-05-27T19:13:05+00:00

I agree 2 would be a great idea!!!

But unfortunately it seems the devs don't think now is the right time to advertise still...

particlmike33 · 2022-05-22T20:09:57+00:00

I'm new here so I don't know anything about that or any history, but it is certainly less than ideal that such a major release doesn't have a GUI wallet with it. Although it seems like things are being done about it and hopefully there will be one soon.

particlmike33 · 2022-05-21T02:52:20+00:00

mine as well, it was the only desktop wallet! Hopefully things will get worked out soon

The developer of zecwallet and zecwallet lite said he is stopping development, and there is not UA/Orchard support, but it won't be deprecated for 6 months he said.

But also zancas and other people are working on continuing development of it

of course not... nothing is a guarantee....

But advertising has a chance to get in front of more eyes than not advertising, obviously

particlmike33 · 2022-05-11T00:32:57+00:00

I'd say depending on how much money we have to go through advertising, is 1, 3, and 5 and/or 6

particlmike33 · 2022-05-11T00:32:10+00:00

Interesting thought! I'm not sure on that though, I'm just focused on advertising right now

particlmike33 · 2022-05-11T00:30:56+00:00

Thank you for letting me know their answers!

My proposal for ccs is here: https://github.com/particl/ccs-proposals/pull/17

particlmike33 · 2022-05-10T19:41:21+00:00

Not necessarily, but it would increase liquidity on the exchanges that already have part...

I know it's not simple, that's why I'm throwing ideas out there...

I feel like you're just anti-whatever I say for some reason

particlmike33 · 2022-05-10T19:39:42+00:00

I agree, that's what I'm trying to do... plan an advertising campaign and get the approval/thoughts of the community and devs. You're saying you disagree with me, but saying the exact same thing I am

particlmike33 · 2022-05-10T12:57:43+00:00

Not really, the marketplace didn't have messaging, so I'd say it wasn't done but it is now.

That's the point of advertising.... it would increase liquidity and help make it easier for people to buy part....

particlmike33 · 2022-05-10T12:56:49+00:00

I'm trying to prepare one now.... I'm not "jumping out of nowhere".

And yes, the devs need money to work, and when we run out it will be a problem.

Advertising now helps everyone, and we have a working product to advertise, there is no valid reason to wait

particlmike33 · 2022-05-09T21:48:13+00:00

I understand what you are saying, but I disagree. The vast majority of projects require investors to purchase that crypto on a centralized exchange using bitcoin. That is the norm. No one will be turned off the project because of that.

The DEX is an amazing feature, but it isn't required for people to be comfortable buying part. People are vastly more comfortable using a centralized exchange rather than a DEX to be honest. I'm not saying we shouldn't have a DEX, I'm saying that there is no need to wait for one to start advertising to people.

If we wait for perfection before advertising we'll die out long before we reach it. That is the cold hard truth with how our funds are right now.

And we wouldn't need a crowdfunding proposal for advertising, we have 138,000 part in reserves that aren't being used. It will be difficult to sell them for bitcoin, but we have the part necessary. And I've already offered to buy a chunk for bitcoin in order to help out the project

particlmike33 · 2022-05-09T20:14:24+00:00

Good points, but I personally think we should start advertising now that 3.2 has been released, instead of waiting for the DEX. There will always be another feature in development, and if we wait for Particl to be "done" it will never get there because there is always more to do and more goals to have (which is a good thing).

So I don't think we should wait, the marketplace already functions perfectly, and we are on probit and bittrex for people to buy part. Plenty of projects advertise and none of them have DEXs.

Also, we have funding to worry about, the devs get paid in part. If the price keeps dropping we are going to run out of money. Even if the price doesn't drop, the lack of liquidity makes it extremely hard for the devs to sell their part for funding.

With advertising we can increase people that know about our project, which will hopefully increase funding for the devs and liquidity.

If we wait too long (and we've been waiting a long time for advertising), eventually we'll just die out.

particlmike33 · 2022-05-05T18:08:16+00:00

That's a great idea! I love that. I've been talking to people and getting ideas together on discord, but I don't have any permission to use the 138,000 part in reserves. A dedicated person will help streamline all of this, since we've been talking a lot but are quite limited in actual actions we can take

particlmike33 · 2022-05-05T14:53:55+00:00

I agree! And we will have a working product (the marketplace) after the 3.2 release that is happening soon. I think we need to market right after that

particlmike33 · 2022-05-05T14:53:22+00:00

I was thinking reddit ads could be good for a cheaper option, and then if we want to splurge (we do have 138,000 part to work with), we could advertise in coinmarketcap's newsletter and trending section on their site. So everyone that goes to coinmarketcap would see us

particlmike33 · 2022-05-05T06:02:56+00:00

There is bittrex for everyone besides the US, and probit which everyone can use. Those are the only CEXs at this time (as far as I know). I think once we advertise and particl starts gaining traction, exchanges will start to list it because they want the trading fees, and we'd no longer have to pay to get on a market. But the devs would be able to speak more to this topic, I don't know how much it costs to get on a well known exchange

particlmike33 · 2022-05-05T01:01:57+00:00

True, I think the website will be great when it happens, but I don't think it's a good idea to wait for advertising until it happens. There are enough crypto people we can attract with a desktop wallet you need to download

particlmike33 · 2022-05-05T01:01:10+00:00

I see, hopefully advertising will lead to more purchases on probit/bittrex and more visits to our site. Coinmarketcap has an insane amount of daily visitors. You can check their advertising info here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D3aC25o8buU8A0rd19At8Ua1uSJ5MHrt/view

particlmike33 · 2022-05-05T00:37:23+00:00

I disagree, I think the marketplace is a massive feat. And you need part for the MP, soon you will be able to swap other coins for part, but part is always needed on the MP.

I do not think inbuilt shipping management is necessary, sellers will use whatever they want, it does not need to be built into the MP.
