Hello Zcash Community, I’ve created this topic to document and post updates about my project Dizzy Wallet.
First of all it’s an honor to be part of this first Minor Grants Program. I’ll do my best to deliver the milestones in time.
A little recap of my grant proposal:
Develop and maintain Dizzy, a discord bot that allows users to receive, deposit and withdraw ZEC directly from their Discord account.
Even before receiving this grant, I developed a few bots and other services for Zcash, so this grant will also cover maintanence and hosting costs for these projects.
A few bonus projects (A beta release of a similar bot for telegram and a Proof of Concept Snack Machine that accepts Zcash)
Later today I’ll be posting the first milestone, which is done!
Thanks for the opportunity, and I hope this project(s) will serve the needs of Zcash users!
Deliverable 1.1: First release of Dizzy Wallet for testing (private discord server).
Dizzy is avaiable only in my private Discord Server, for testing purposes before official launch. Searching for bugs and vulnerabilities.
What works so far:
Most of Dizzy funcionality is working
Tip users
Airdrops
Prhase drops
Red packets
Withdraws from Dizzy
Withdraw from Dizzy to a regular wallet was tested succesfully using transparent and shielded addresses (Sapling and orchard)
Deposit to Dizzy
Deposits wasn’t thoroughly tested, but it’s working
Deliverable 1.2: Continue Hosting previous work on Virtual Private Computing service (AWS / Lightsail)
The bots and services i’ve developed before this grant are actively beeing maintained and hosted!
ZecQuiz - Educational Discord bot that starts trivia regarding Zcash.
This one is a favorite of Zcash Global members, it was used last Thursday during Zcash Brazil Weekly Call.
ZecStats - Bot for displaying Zcash statistics
The command zecstats show information about Zcash and it’s blockchain
The command zcountdown displays an accurate Zcash halving countdown.
ZecGPT - Simple discord bot using openai’s gpt3.5-turbo model for education and entertainment.
First appearance last Thursday during Zcash Brazil Weekly call.
So, that’s it, first milestone is completed!
If any member of @ZcashFoundation wants to join my private discord server to verify the progress of Dizzy, please contact me via direct message.
Tipsy (Telegram Zcash Bot) development for beta release is going pretty strong, the interface is almost done. (need to implement zcash client, hopefully will be ready for next month milestone).
(Telegram for desktop, the mobile version looks better)
I’m planning to publicly launch Dizzy on may 25th. Will contact @vito@Michae2xl to see if we can launch it during the weekly call. After that the bot will be public for everyone to add on their own servers (Zcash related or not).
A good friend of Zcash Brasil, @Tchosco, already told me he wants this bot on his servers.
Also, this week I’ll be recording a video tutorial on how to use Dizzy, and most important, to inform people to not hold any ZEC within Dizzy. Dizzy is intended to be a easy way for users to receive and tip ZEC to friends. Dizzy is not a wallet!
That’s it, very small update, I want to save the good stuff for the milestone update coming soon
Once again, thanks Zcash Foundation for this opportunity, and thanks to all Zcashers who really welcomed me here!
(Sorry for the broken english, I used to put my text through ChatGPT, but now I think is better to put my own words here, even if nobody can understand me )
