Steempay upgrade - Pay on site | SteemFEST | Mobile wallet

in steempay •  8 years ago  (edited)

Time for another upgrade of SteemPay.io! A lot of work has been done behind the scenes, and here's a brief overview:


Pay on site

Users will be able to make their payments straight from the payments page using a 2 step sliding form.

This means no more need to open another tab page, fill in all the details in your wallet, and returning to SteemPay. Both the password and the active private key can be used to broadcast the transaction.

SteemPay does not encourage password storing, however, there is an option available for those who prefer to save their password in the browser's localstorage. A warning pop up will appear explaining the risks of storing passwords in the browser.

After a successful login, the user will see a quick overview of his available balances, and another confirmation is required to finalize the transaction straight from the payment window.

Mobile wallet

The mobile wallet is up and running, but my code seems like a mess due to trial and error.

A bounty will be placed for someone to cleanup everything and make some minor corrections so the first version can be released very soon (and get approved on the official android & iOS stores). I feel the need to encourage bounties, so people can become engaged with the community, and hopefully I'll discover new talent to join me on the further expansion of SteemPay.

SteemFEST 1

SteemPay will donate some money to SteemFEST 1. Me and @roelandp still need to work out the details, but SteemPay will be present and setup a donation terminal where users are free to send some donations towards the organization by using the mobile wallet with QR support (plans may still change).

Hardware upgrade

Yet another server upgrade was needed to house all services related to SteemPay. This includes many other side projects that will be announced later on. This should be the final server upgrade for SteemPay and related services.

The DNS is still propagating, so you might not see the recent changes on SteemPay.io yet.

General statistics implantation

A lightweight database will be kept storing nothing but the transaction amounts processed trough SteemPay. This serves for having some overview on the monthly growth of the transactions, as well as the amounts processed. Every month, the statistics will be published.

Steem on!

Whoa! Nice work there! Thanks for the update @steve-walschot! Nice to see further developments towards products/tools and websites that are further strengthening the Steemit ecosystem. :)

Steem on I shall! I am in my first week on this platform and love reading these development posts. I am confident in steemit and see a bright future. These posts reassure that feeling and make me feel even more excited about the people involved. Give thanks!

Thanks for the update. I hopefully can try it out at SteemFEST 1.

Up-voted with all I have. It is really great what you are doing and I hope many more people will up-vote to support your great work.

Still learning how to use this, but I'm glad ya'll are making it easier!

I like this. This seems like significant progress !

Well it's just logical progession to me :-) I like to keep my followers updated!

Great job! We'll probably try to integrate this in our marketplace website down the road. Look forward to testing it out soon.

BTW I was trying out the older button generator, but couldn't get a success screen with fixed payment amounts, even though payment & memo were sent to the blockchain. If I put zero in the amount it would work. Have any idea what could be the issue?

Anyways will test out the new button generator to see if it works. Thanks.

This is Good
Explained Well

STEEM ON!

This is brilliant. Thanks for your continued efforts!
