@shea256 @larrysalibra will requirements for the wallet be as follows:

• deposit
• withdraw
• backup account
• restore account
• delete account

@guylepage3 no, only deposit and withdraw will be present in the wallet.

The backup, restore, and delete account operations will be accessible in the settings app.

Added the Wallet App in #241 - as part of the design it will also need an icon.

Pinning #241: add a wallet app and put the deposit and withdraw pages inside to this issue

@guylepage3 Can we see the older wallet app designs that we put together?

definitely.. let me organize them

Requirements

1. A large balance display that appears on all tabs.
2. Three tabs:
   1. Activity: list of historical transactions (this will be blank at first)
   2. Receive: displays (a) a bitcoin address (b) a QR code.
   3. Send: displays (a) a "To" field (b) an "Amount" field (c) a "Password" field

@shea256 @larrysalibra

Hmm. Question.. Do we want to display the wallet balance in USD or BTC? I've noticed that even Coinbase displays their wallet balance in USD. Seems logical. No?

Also, will users be able to send btc to Blockstack ID's or to bitcoin addresses only?

Coinbase displays their balance in USD only for US users. If you're a UK user (or other place user) you get you balance in your local currency. To provide a good user experience, we quickly get into questions like: which currency to default to? How does the user change it? How do we choose the default? Geolocation? Browser local settings?

We'd also need to get exchange rate information from a 3rd party API. Which API should we use? Is it free? Can it handle a lot of users? What are the privacy implications for adding that API?

I think for this sprint we should stick to BTC. We can open a ticket to add this feature in the future. My view is that it's not as pressing as our other issues.

Also, will users be able to send btc to Blockstack ID's or to bitcoin addresses only?

It's trivial to implement sending bitcoin to Blockstack IDs (are we still calling them that?). Let's do it.

@guylepage3

I replied before looking at your mock ups. I really like how it has the USD price under the BTC value.

Maybe we should do this and for now not give the user a choice of fiat currencies. Most people have a good idea what their local currency to USD exchange rate is anyways. @shea256 what do you think?

@larrysalibra Sorry this is for design so that I can future-proof a little. Design requires a full requirement capture in order to not waste a design and have to throw it out just because we need to add a new feature. We need to get better at this. If Blockstack was a client I would make us go through an entire creative process. That's how you get decent design. But we do not have that luxury. So in order to streamline (somewhat) we need to gather as many requirements as fast as we can so that we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

@shea256 @larrysalibra what are we going to call the wallet? any names that come to mind? or what do you think.. simply "wallet"

Nice work! Love #2 out of 5!

#2 has that leather wallet smell. 😂 Lol. It does feel a bit dated to me somehow though. I like the cleanliness of the others personally.

The others are harder on my eyes and not as easy for me to navigate.

I like 2 out of 5 too. Didn't realize this was also ryan's pick but it is easier on the eyes and has a friendly green. The financial component on this app weighs heavy psychologically -- the black background looks like space and a place where money could be lost, you'll be hard pressed to find a bank that has a black background.

Oh... Naaarrrrrr.... 🙈
