I agree completely. I hope they include NMC since they are looking at coin with the top market caps and help build on the NMC wallet and protocol!Wallets help a coin thrive
According to Coinmarketcap, there are currently 37 cyrptocurrencies that have a market capitalization of more than $1m. To make decisions on what coins to include in its wallet, Holy Transactions relies on feedback from its userbase. The startup also monitors a site called CoinGecko, which measures market cap, social media shares, developer repository activity and other metrics to give coins a ranking score.
HolyTransaction thinks servicing top altcoins is important because many of them do not have sufficient wallet alternatives outside of a main client. Zamovskiy said:
“We are talking constantly with people in the community, and there are not enough wallet options.”
A lack of wallets can hurt an otherwise worthwhile coin, according to Zamovskiy. He pointed to namecoin and NXT in particular as alternative cryptocurrencies that struggle because of a lack of wallet choices. “NXT, for example, only has a client wallet. There’s no hosted wallet,” said Zamovskiy

Re: HolyTransaction Bets Big on Universal Cryptocurrency Wal
I would definitely like to see Armory ported to Namecoin. Cold storage is potentially more important for names than for currency because names are nonfungible and therefore irreplacable if stolen. A UTXO-based wallet would be great too, although that's already being worked on.traister wrote:http://www.coindesk.com/holytransaction ... cy-wallet/

Re: HolyTransaction Bets Big on Universal Cryptocurrency Wal
Yes, basically I'd like to keep names in cold storage in an Armory wallet, so that if my hot wallet is compromised, no one can steal or alter my names. I think this should be the default behavior for d/ and id/ names, with disposable names (e.g. dd/ names) being used for hot wallet updates.virtual_master wrote:You mean a cold wallet with offline currency transactions and name operations(ported and extended armory) ?biolizard89 wrote: I would definitely like to see Armory ported to Namecoin.
