Is it mobile only? Integration with Ledger would likely be great
Booster, A Security-First Stellar Wallet
@Will - sounds like a great idea! I'm a Sr. Product Manager as well, working in the payments space. Saw a post of this in the Stellar subreddit forum (https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellar/comments/8nqhat/ex_head_of_accounts_twitter_and_senior_product/) and just wanted to reach out and say great concept and good luck. Glad you have broken out your scope and included MVP and stretch goals - always good to see that; am sure your devs are happy when you do that on your features at Lyft. Looking forward to seeing how you guys progress.
Instead of competing, if you guys need help let us know!
Feel free to borrow ideas (or work with me!) from https://stellarguard.me around the security picture. In my (obviously biased) opinion all the client-side protections you can add are nothing without multisig.
StellarGuard Thanks, appreciate it! We'll take a closer look...
I'll have to second @StellarGuard, any kind of 2FA that's not multi-sig is just security theater.
I appreciate what you guys are looking at doing, but there are most likely 5-6 wallets (out of the 50+ we have) looking at doing the same thing. Collaborate?
dzham I think we're aligned, but still researching how/when to integrate multi-sig in a way that makes sense. I think the use case for security depends on the amounts -- small wallets for new users exploring may not require it (e.g., sub 100 XLM) while larger stakes would need greater security like multi-sig, backup seeds/recovery process, etc. There are also some alternative features we're going to explore to detect/fight ATO in addition to multi-sig, not sure yet on order of operations.
Re: collaboration, it's a good question. To be honest, we're using the build challenge as a forcing function to get our hands dirty and learn more about Stellar. But setting that aside, I also think some competition here is good for the community, Stellar users will have more choice and it'll force all the wallets to be better when there's competition for users. I also think given the wallets we're seeing we think we can do some more novel/radical things in the future, just not sure about in time for the build challenge -- but we'll try! ?
StellarGuard Thank you for the suggestion! Give us a bit to organize our thinking and would love to pick your brain a bit on the right security model and how multi-sig fits in. Is help@stellarguard.me the best email to use?
Will Yes, that email will work.
We need a mobile wallet like this.
And please, also focus on design and UX and publish for iOS too!
Very interested in a slack invite ?
