faast

@begraffic Hey Bandon! Soon. We are working on integrating simple deposit methods to allow you to convert from a local exchange into a faast-portfolio (ex. bitcoin.bitaccess.co - canada, coinbase.com - usa, bity.com - eu). Until then, you still need to deposit Bitcoin/Ether/Tokens yourself. Soon enough there will be reliable stable coins which will make this a lot easier.

@eugeneotto Thanks! Awesome suggestion. We are working on the dynamics for multiple portfolios now. We are looking into standard ways we can allow people to hold other blockchain tokens as well. Would love your feedback on this Github issue as we work through it! https://github.com/go-faast/faas... Depending on how a wallet is imported complicates a few things. Right now, standard Ethereum wallets only have 1 private key, as opposed to an HD key from which we can derive multiple address. We already published a library to help with HD Ethereum key derivation, but we will need to work with the community on standarization of an HD wallet format. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@f...

@henrikharju Hey! Thanks for the feedback. We'll be sure to add more basic info as we grow. To answer some of your questions: 1. You can't actually sign up. There are no accounts. Just search your ethereum address and you're off to the races. Here is an example - Bittrex's portfolio (with 1.1B USD): https://faa.st/portfolio#/addres... 2. How does it work? Just like MyEtherWallet, except you can actually swap in between tokens, instead of manually creating transactions and sending them to an exchange 3. Will we lose your money? Well, we don't have your money, so never! This is a client side app, it is 100% open source. It connects to Web3 to send your transactions, similar to MyEtherWallet.

@benmlevy Hey, great question. It would be really simple: 1. go to https://faa.st/portfolio, select "create a new wallet" 2. Enter a good password, and download your wallet file (don't ever lose these, keep em safe!) 3. The portfolio will show an Ethereum address, just send Ether from coinbase to the address shown in the portfolio (maybe start with a small amount to make sure you're doing it right) 4. You are off to the races, you are now in full control of your money! Also, if you don't already have a hardware wallet, or metamask, I think you should consider getting those set up as you get more comfortable with the ecosystem.

@moeadham That all makes sense! I just gave it a shot and am now waiting for the transfer to go through. Will I receive some type of notification when Faast has successfully received my transfer? How long should this take?

@benmlevy Thanks for giving it a try! We don't yet have notifications since there aren't accounts or email addresses. If you keep the portfolio open, you will notice your balance update in real time. We have been getting reports that Coinbase has been a bit slow to send out Ethers today due to the CryptoKitties madness. Feel free to reach out to support@faa.st if you think anything is taking longer than it should, we will help you figure it out 👍

@moeadham Hey Moe, I've been using FAAST for the past few days and have enjoyed the experience thus far. Sorry if this was already asked, but will you guys be adding more currencies soon? In particular, VertCoin? Thanks - I'll continue using it and expanding my portfolio size! Thanks, Ben

@golear Hey Gabe. The project is open source, which can be accessed from anywhere: https://github.com/go-faast/faas...

@moeadham Cool, I'll have a look. Why does the site not work in WA state if you guys aren't actually handling any money?

@golear We are maybe overly cautious, but WA state regulators have a reputation of taking a heavy handed approach to our industry, and we prefer to focus on tech & product vs. legal.
