second part… in this part I would like to answer some probable questions and offer a personal opinion…
but before even thinking about it, no! it won’t be backwards compatibility, this application fully embraces the changes made for the next hard fork… having said that… thank you, let’s continue.
what next? well, after releasing a first version there are three big features that I would love to add:
- coin control
- sending/receiving using nfc…
- a tool to overcome censorship helping users to set tor bridges.
also the desktop ui will be updated for the next hard fork and I will try to create an unified user experience… I want to take this opportunity to thank Sasha Abramovich for the feedback received and for this amazing medium post… (yes, yellow fellows, I asked some Beam friends for feedback, they have done a wonderful job).
as you all can see 2021 will be a busy year and I’m looking forward to it… I also plan to contribute to IronBelly on bringing some cool stuff available in grin++ (cough! nfc… cough! address availability…).
there are a few things that I’m kind of proud of… first, we’re a running a whole node in a mobile phone! and on a raspberry pi! I’m not sure if users would appreciate some interesting facts of the mobile app, but… I’m not storing any personally identifiable information, there is no analytics, the little information that is stored like the session token is stored encrypted, I’m adding rules to avoid that the node information like the wallets can be copied, and some others benefits of having the node running locally.
big kudos to @david for his amazing job on the grin++ node/wallet backend… when are we going declare this guy out of this world? 
to wrap up, I personally believe we’ve made some really cool progress, and when I say “we” I’m referring to grin… the slatepack is a huge improvement, I think that the flow described in my previous post could be a lot better when we get rid off the (infamous) third step, maybe, at that moment I would be fully convinced that the interactivity is a feature and not a flaw 
.
I love the idea of having full control of what it comes in and goes out of my wallet, but honestly, I think we can achieve way more without the third step.
