This will be an unconference - so topics will be decided on the spot. I just want to throw in some ideas that I would like to talk about. Please add your ideas. This is mainly so people can decide between different tracks and roughly have some idea about the content.
Wallet distribution: e,g, how do we get less reliant on google and apple here. Discuss alternatives to them like f-droid. Also think about the future - decentralized distribution systems anyone? Reproducible builds?
Wallet reputation staking on standards? E.g. we agreed last year at DevCon3 on EIP681 and a lot of wallets did not yet implement it - which causes a lot of trouble. So one idea would be that projects could stake reputation on standards and it gets slashed when they do not implement it in the agreed timeframe. This reputation could then be used in the decentralized distribution systems mentioned above.
WalletConnect - how to push it forward and get more adoption (on wallet and application side) - Versioning/Upgrade paths/backward compatibility
How to decentralize more (light client incentive layer like VipNode, ultra light clients, minimal verification clients like INCUBED) - other ideas? Classification
mETHadata
making wallets accessible on low end devices (e.g. nokia one) for the emerging world. Also how to make wallets work in bad network conditions
Wallet (interoperability) comparison matrix
Meta:
mission statement - suggestion: “Make wallets more useful, interoperable, user friendly, private, decentralized, secure, accessible.”
I just got the information that the team from the status.im hardware wallet cannot be there as they have an important meeting at the very time our workshop is. As I really would like a session with wallet developers and them I suggest to do a pop-up session - perhaps in one of the breaks? Who would be in for this?
I do not control the agenda - I just facilitate - so if/how much time the topic gets will be decided by the attendees
Seems that our 1.5h will be jam-packed - so we will not have much time for each topic (so please try to be brief when introducing the topic)
I believe wallet!=web3browser - yes currently they often get hand in hand - but I firmly believe they should be 2 separate entities (mainly for security reasons) - perhaps we should even craft a web3browser ring
PSA: the whole schedule is pushed back 30min - so we will start 16:00
and FYI: I have a Nokia one with me. So if any wallet dev wants to test his app on a very low end phone that is targeted for the emerging world - you are very welcome to use this phone at the session to test your apps!
@brunobar79 thanks so much for taking notes and attending!
I will add some things when copying it over to the pop-up session. (PSA: these are the notes for the ad-hoc pop-up session about key management 11:30 and not for the wallet session 16:00 - especially at all the time-cops listening in - we did not use a time machine to post these notes before the session)
