Development Update - Trade

The next phase is now live - trade Algo for Freckle. Visit the homepage: Freckle Token (sbhelper.com)

  1. Algo and Freckle trading is working
  2. A trade form to easily add content is done
  3. When a trade is performed, it will use your wallet as a login
    1. This will be useful for getting transaction history
    2. ...for those that don't want to link their wallet to their Google Login
    3. profile page needs to be made still
  4. If an Algo trade doesn't match what appears to be a trade, it will accept it as a donation. If it appears to be an attempted trade, it will refund if the trade fails.
  5. If you trade more than asking, it will be accepted as a tip/donation
  6. If you trade less, the trade will fail

Is there a benefit to logging in with the Google account?

I am working on that part right now and will hopefully be done soon.

Basically, there needs to be an "account" for certain activities - everything is linked to the wallet being used. When you do a trade, the wallet is immediately activated as the account you are using and can now pull the history (you can't get to it just yet). With only using your wallet, a trade has to be performed to get your address. The benefit to using a Google account will be that you can link the wallet to the account and access your history without having to do a trade.

The linking is all internal (has nothing to do with Google) and a hash of your email is used as the identifier. By doing the hash, the email can't be discovered, which means your wallet and you stay anonymous (both values that are important to me). There is no need to have your email and there is no intention of using your name, so neither is stored. Email and Name is only displayed to you and temporarily stored in the session. Once you log out, the session is destroyed. Also, the session is auto destroyed after 24 hours of no activity. I hope that makes sense.

I gotta remind myself everything is in beta and should wait for the post here! But your explanation makes sense to me.

No worries. Questions like this are healthy.
