Hi @kworks and thanks for the grant submission.
I appreciate the effort you’ve put into Zecweb.com already, and your initiative is great! (It also made me smile to see where the “New Brunswick” post on ZECPages came from
(the “create Zcash promotion” video here)
That said, I do share many of the concerns mentioned above. A web wallet won’t be private, will be risky for funds stored within, and I think likely won’t be trusted by users. And it seems you plan to charge for this web wallet service, which makes sense infrastructurally (nodes aren’t free!) but as a potential user, it’s unlikely I’ll pay for a wallet I see likely providing less security and fewer features than my free options.
ZecWallet, a trusted brand, actually released a web wallet back in the day, which was taken down due to disuse for similar reasons to the above. (Lack of privacy, risk of lost funds, poor performance) - It would help us understand and discuss your project if you speak a bit to how you see ZecWeb overcoming these challenges and becoming a useful tool that with decent security assurances.
