Unfunded but still upgraded

I'm still unfunded by the DHF, if you haven't voted for my proposal, please consider doing it, links above, and feel free to tell anyone else who you think should be voting for this to vote for it!

v4v.app

You might have to force your device to re-load the page or the web app to see new features.

Local currencies!

I hope this upgrade is pretty self explanatory to use. There's now a way to set your local currency on the Receive page! This setting, just like the pay to account name will be remembered.

You can now ask for Hive or HBD (two buttons) but you can specify the amount in Hive, HBD, sats (tiny units of Bitcoin) or a local currency such as the Mexican Peso.

This should make it super easy to charge your customer whatever you want!

Value for Value

For the last few months while building @v4vapp I was generously supported by the DHF. Going forward I have a much more modest support which covers direct server costs and a little of my time.

If you appreciate the work I do on and around Hive, you can express this directly: upvoting posts on Hive is great. Also consider a direct donation (there's a Tip button on Hive or a Lightning Address) on all my posts.

It's great to hear that being able to convert to local currency would be really cool.

Make a thread promoting your proposal over on Leofinance. Think many don't know about your project and you should definitely get funded imho!

Do you take the price of local currencies from the official exchange rate or the informal market? I don't see the Cuban peso :(

I get the numbers from CoinGecko. I need to note that on the site. If you can show me a reliable place to get a rate for Cuba I'll try to include it.

yadio.io has a free API and shows the price of the Cuban peso and I think that of the rest of the countries as well. It reflects the value of the USD in the informal market, so it is closer to reality. Muun wallet apparently uses it

Good job, @brianoflondon, but I found a bug. The app does not show the value after the decimal point. If I want to do a transfer of 10.5 HBD it does a transfer of 10 HBD.

EDIT: I know where the problem is. There should be a dot instead of a comma. Unfortunately on my iphone I don't have the option to type a dot.


No dot. Only coma. So I have to write as a memo 10.5 and then copy as a amount... A bit annoying.

Hmmm I'm new to internationalization but I know what the problem is. I'll try to fix it soon.

I've deployed a fix to https://dev.v4v.app if you go there and make sure you reload the page and tell me if that now sees the , as the decimal place.

Yes, now it works! Thanks! BTW, is there any possibility to implement also Hive Engine tokens?

It should now be working on the main v4v.app site now.

I'm thinking about how to do Hive Engine tokens. Need to understand that process better.

Good luck! We have place in Krakow with own token (@krolestwo) and we are waiting for this feature. I would be a revolution! Or at least great step forward :)

Your Progress in making this app is amazing. I don't know why your proposal is unfunded. Hopefully you will get the require Hp vote as soon as possible.

Hey Brian, was just testing it out and noticed something that seems like a bug. When I enter in to "receive 1000 HBD" the prompt says to receive 1.000 HBD. I'm assuming that period should be a comma?

NVM! I had coingecko's code disabled on the page so it was not displaying correctly -_- now it is!

I was trying to solve a problem with Locales for someone in Poland where they use the comma as the decimal separator. Right now if you're in one of these locales the behaviour works that way. I'm sort of new to localisation so I really am not sure how this is supposed to work!

  const commaLocales = [
    "de-DE",
    "fr-FR",
    "it-IT",
    "es-ES",
    "nl-NL",
    "pt-PT",
    "ru-RU",
    "tr-TR",
    "pl-PL",
    "sv-SE",
    "da-DK",
    "fi-FI",
    "el-GR",
    // Add or remove locales as required
  ]

is my understanding on receiving page right. when you sent the amount and get your QR code for hive or HBD you can use it "forever"? but the lightning QR will expire?
Or all of them expire or all could be used "forever"? (because there is a "timer" for the transaction)

Yes, Hive / HBD QR's stay the same, however they will then always have the same memo in them so there are good reasons to generate a new one. But yes, if you make a QR for $5 HBD you can reuse it as many times as you like.
