STEEMPAY mobile wallet developer update - Consensus reached
Last week i wrote a post on getting a consensus on how to handle new user registrations.
For those who missed it, the post can be found here.
After long debating on chats, interacting with users and listening to their feedback here's what i've decided;
SteemPay.io pays the account creation fee during startup.
After the startup phase, i'll start playing around with having paid ads in the app.
Paid ads? I don't want to see some viagra commercial in my app!
Touché. But here's the businessmodel behind it:
- Only ads linking to a steemit post will be allowed.
- Only a small text banner on the top will be allowed. No images, only text.
- No forced clicks or upvotes; The user will only see the ad.
- Every ad needs to have approval before being listed.
- First come, first served system.
- Visibility and duration will be announced later.
Note that ads will only be visible for users who create an account trough our app. Existing users will be completely ad-free.
General progress
The overall developement is inline with our expectations., the first public android version will be online by the end of next week.
Currently the code is about 90% completed, so is the UI design (see this showcase ) by @cass.

I'm Max Keiser, and this shit is going to change the world by empowering individuals to transfer the value of their hard work most easily.
This looks very promising! So at the end, you will be able to add your Steem account to the app, and transfer your steem Dollars to another Steem account? Awesome to see more Steem mobile wallets!
SteemPay will work perfectly with the #BlockPay point-of-sale systems!! We are accepting Steem and Steem Dollars already and will put our point-of-sales in hundreds of stores around the world. Watch our for the BlockPay Logo:

Awesome. One the the best, if not the best initiative on the Steemit platform.
Kudos.
Good job! Following your developments with excitement. How about Apple's restrictions on cryptocurrencies? AFAIK, on their platform, they're approving only Apps for Bitcoin and few other cryptocurrencies.
There is eSteem mobile app currently available both for iOS and Android. You are right though getting approval can be long and troublesome.
Thank you, the system is very rapidly progressing because you doing the excellent work !
I was just going to tell you before you thought of doing a Post Promotion we need a service slot on my Uplift Minnows Initiative :P
This is looking more and more exciting! Great Ideas and execution. I am intrigued by the idea of adds directing to steemit posts. This could bring in a whole new revenue stream to steemit/steem.
That is awesome, thank you for your efforts. I gave you all of my upvote power available today.
Great work .more innovation and thinking outside the box is what steemers need to go to the next level
I suppose ads are a necessary evil in order to bring in a stream of income. Lets see how it goes
Great work!
