Yes, definitely worth exploring this
I don’t think paying $60k for Unstoppable Wallet integration is worth it - the price feels way too steep compared to what others are charging. For instance, getting EpicCash listed on CoinEx was only $30k, and Ascendex asked the same to list Grin. Basically, we could get onto two exchanges for the price. If Unstoppable Wallet had some ties to the Grin community or was actively contributing to it, I might see things differently. Take Grin++: even though it’s got issues and ate up a ton of cash, I still think the investment was worthwhile since it’s another protocol implementation in a different coding language.
That said, we can’t ignore the chance to get into Unstoppable Wallet. Adoption matters, and we need Grin to reach as many users as possible. It’d be awesome if Unstoppable Wallet could take another look at their integration costs and come back with something more reasonable (especially if Grin is the only project they asked money from).

A wallet asking for pay to integrate is embarrassing. For the wallet.

I also think 60k is to steep unless it would involve additions to grin-wallet such as multisig or atomic swap (there is a nice bounty for this).
They indicated they want to explore colleboration not only funding, so I think we should explore with an open mind if there us some mutual beneficial colleboration posssible.
I agree Trinitron. The fact that unstoppable wallet has come to the grin community begging for money is an eye brow raising concern imo - if you have money on unstopped wallet, now might be your sign to look for a more financially stable company for a wallet.
We could never make a deal with unstoppable - they are a company, grin is a community, what are we gonna do, sign paper work with guarantees? Signed -anonymous? lol we gonna sue them if they don’t follow through or decide to later remove grin support from their wallet?
This is a lot different then a bounty, with a bounty, you usually get some code out of the deal that you can keep - we gonna pay for “support”? An absolute joke this thread should be closed.

Any individual who has been paid so far is no different from a one man company. It sounds like you are searching for issues and excuses to prevent exploring colleboration instead of looking for opportunities to colleborate.
Why could there not be a bounty? Like always, you ask for something to be delivered and pay when delivery is made. Note that there code is FOSS.

If I am to say one last thing on this, is that I disagree wholeheartedly. And If you are willing to go forward then why not listi GRIN on a real exchange with actual users traffic?
And as an another sidenote: @Anynomous you said there’s problems for a community council to take place on the forum due to low messaging frequency. Disagreeing on that too, and this sub-forum is the proof.
We are volunteers, we can’t ask from people to appear on a meeting at a specific time, here people could take leisure and answer at their own free will and time.

I’m 100% down with Unstoppable team adding grin to their wallet
Code needs to be maintained - FOSS doesn’t matter if they decide to withdraw support. The old version of their wallet that supported grin would’t be updated and it’ll be upto us to maintain our own fork of the entire unstopped wallet ecosystem (or pay them more money for continued support - a total grift) . It’s definitely not a “bounty”!
The community has spoken very loudly as to what they want, I’ll give you a hint, it wasn’t for grin to be added to unstoppable wallet. I must have seen 10 different threads asking for more exchange adoption, always shut down. Yet you push for this?

I need to hear more from @ddadybayo to give my final thoughts. Personally, if I was approaching a community with a figure in mind for funding, I’d already have a detailed breakdown of how I arrived at that figure. Similar to going to a bank with a business plan. I also need to know more about their vision for the future and how they see Grin fitting in to it
