Enhancement of Steem wallet by implanting token market and Address Book.

Steemwallet's github repo

Proposal

Steem wallet _{is an open source app built to ease transfer and receiving of Steem / SBD. It is also built to monitor any account balance and recent Steem transactions. You can log in with your key or password and transact by sending Steem or SBD to anyone by signing broadcast messages with your key. Steem Wall is a secure wallet. It never access or holds users fund. Using the Steem wallet has been a nice experience. However, I believe more can be done to improve users experience. Getting information about Steem and SBD is done outside the wallet. I believe it would be best if every info of these tokens are within the app's confinement. Part of the apps component that I will focus on is the settings}.

Proposal

_{The only thing I can do on the Steem wallet is send and receive Steem or SBD which is the primary reason for its creation. However, having an avenue to check Steem and SBD info will be of utmost importance. I can say that if there is a feature that serves this purpose, it will be an added advantage for the users}.

SBD/Steem market : _{Apart from sending and receiving these tokens in the wallet, the market feature will display the info about how the tokens are doing in the real market. This will be in four parts.}

• _Volume

• _{Circulating supply}

• _{Market capitalization}

• _Price

_{The volume will show the amount traded in 24 hours period. With the circulating supply, holders will find it easy to know the amount of token already in circulation. Moreover, the market capitalisation will also display the total amount of money invested in the coin. However, checking the price of both coins will not be an issue as it will also be displayed in the market}.

_{The settings page will house this feature along with others listed vertically. Clicking on it will open a page where all these will be implemented}.

Address book : _{This would also be a very important feature if implemented. It will serve the purpose of keeping addresses you've transferred to or received from increase of necessity. The bar code scanner already implemented in the wallet is an additional advantage that would aid the storing of scanned wallet addresses. The easiest way to implement this is also using the settings page, as there is no much space in the main page to house this implementation. A click on address book will open a page where the addresses can be stored}.

Benefits

_{The SBD and Steem market will allow users to know how good or bad the tokens are doing. Viewing the volume will give you an insight on whether people are buying more token or pulling their fund for a better time to reinvest. I don't know how many people uses VMC to analyse the trend of a coin whether its going bullish or bearish, but I use it a lot and it gives me between 60 - 70% accuracy as the case may be. Checking the price of the tokens will be made easy. This feature will make the app mor cool to use}.

_{However, the address book will also be a good one if implemented. The idea dropped into my mind when I remembered how I copied SBD wallet from bittrex and sent steem into it. I Iost all the tokens. An address book would have helped in this case. Various addresses would be properly stored in the address book . Doing a repeated transaction will be make easy. You won't need to go about copying address . just fetch it right in the app and make your transaction}.
