I would love to work on this project. I am a very experienced web developer and software engineer, well versed in both backend and frontend code. I would use Javascript for the implementation (using something like React for the frontend, and node.js for the backend service).

I have looked at the jsbgl.js library for the BGL RPC integration, which seems to have adequate documentation for the functionality this project requires. I also have experience using web3.js for interacting with Infura for Ethereum integrations. I believe I am ready to get started on this as soon as my application is accepted.

Feel free to ask me for any additional details on this Github issue.

Hi @wu-emma, thanks for approving my application!

I have a couple of questions regarding this project.

1. Should I set this up to use testnet (for both BGL and Ethereum networks) for the development versions, and mainnet for the production version?
2. How should transaction fees be handled when sending converted coins/tokens to the recipient account, as well as transactions to the custodial wallet?

That's it for now. I will most likely have more questions during development, should I continue to post them here or would you prefer using a private channel for future communications (such as e-mail)?

(I miscreated issue on personal repo, please make PRs and fork them from the repo github.com/bitgesellofficial/bitgesell), sorry created issue in this one by mistake

1. You can use BGL mainnet for testing and we can some Eth testnet like Kovan to not pay for tx fees, I would provide some BGLs for testing and the fees are pretty low currently;
2. Ideally user should pay for tx fees, but on the start service can do this.

You can write me here for now, should be ok, I'm getting notifications (that would also calm down Gitcoin bot as it tracks activity)

I am still working on the issue. I have created a basic UI, set up a backend service, and also a local BGL node for RPC. I'll be integrating the UI with the backend service next, as well as implementing the custodial wallet functionality.

When it comes to forking the main repository, wouldn't it make more sense to create an empty repository under the Bitgesell official account instead, so I can post the PR there? This prototype doesn't really belong in the same place as the BGL core in my opinion.

I created a repo and have invited you there, good idea, thanks!

@wu-emma, I've created a custodial BGL address for local development, can you send some coins there for testing? The address is: bgl1q56r8vwjjrwfu3ng8rsd20c6afysnp4368z7wd6

Edit: Or perhaps I am understanding this a bit wrong. I noticed that you already have custodian wallets for the Eth and BSC blockchains, is this service supposed to send BGL directly from that address? In which case I guess it would need to be added to the wallet running on the BGL node the service uses. Nevertheless, it would probably be best to use a separate address for testing.

Hi @wu-emma,

I have effectively finished building the prototype for this application.

I have pushed my code to the project's repository. Tomorrow I will write a readme containing all the important information regarding the nature of this prototype, its features and shortcomings, as well as instructions for setting it up.

Regards,
Rene
