I'll write up a custodian grant proposal tomorrow for implementing them into NuDroid. It's unfortunately not going to be quick and easy, but it's certainly possible and I can do it no problem.
I hope it is not considered too much. I was looking through the nubitsj code, and determined there is quite a bit more to do than I realised.
It is quite a lot and more than I would expect not being a coder. Maybe it helps to elaborate a bit for non-coders on what needs to be done. Would the promised rpc calls JL talked about make it significantly easier to implement? When waiting reduces the costs significantly it might be a viable option to present. Shareholders like options :-)
Jordan responded in your thread. Not a fan using a separate server, but not sure if you meant that. We went to great length to move decentralise as much as possible. Only option I can think off is using the existing server(s) to serve up the latest transaction fee as an interim solution till e.g. Nu 3.0.
The existing servers could be used if they were to provide the fee data. They could provide the fee under /q/getvalidhashes?getfee or /q/getvalidhashes/getfee maybe? Or the fee could be appended to the existing blockhash data. So that way it would work with the existing URLs. Though as Jordan suggests, it would be best to wait for the new RPC method in 2.1 in the case that the logic will change again in 3.0.
For those that did not see I've released the update for the latest grant: https://discuss.nubits.com/t/passed-reliability-and-performance-improvements-to-nudroid-released/2709/22
Also, there is no definite solution for implementing dynamic fees yet: https://discuss.nubits.com/t/draft-dynamic-fees-in-nudroid/2832/9
It's not known how the getfee RPC command will work in relation to v3.0.

did you ever tried that function?
apparently its very easy ... i mailed the backup file to me, opened from smartphone and NuDroid prompts for password
I have a recent backup (august), but for some reason it gives me an error when I try to import that (likely, wrong password.) Big fingers on tiny screen?
I just managed to import an older backup, 3 months ago... Now is re-synching the blockchain from scratch, so it will take a while...
I am wondering if with such an old backup will I be still able to recover funds... (not sure key management over there ) ;)
Will keep you posted
For dynamic fees, I've submitted a grant for voting: https://discuss.nubits.com/t/voting-dynamic-fees-in-nudroid/2919 I've changed it slightly to allow compatibility with both Nu 2.0 and the upcoming 2.1 release.
Or maybe this is just other app, and I am confused.
Well I have neither, only saw NuDroid on a soundbite from The Daily Decrypt. However, I recomend it to a friend, but I couldnt really 'get' how to change to BTC (for example). Also not clear if once converted does it remain on the app or this is just for viewing porpouses on the way out (sending).
You hold stable value NuBits in your wallet and you only convert them to any other volatile cryptocurrency when you need it. Its main purpose is a stable value wallet not a trading tool
ie. If my friend want to send me BTC from NuDroid he can just plug my BTC address in NuDorid directly?
It's not only bitcoin, but many other Shapeshift-supported coins such as Litecoin, Peercoin, Dash etc.
you want share or copy to clipboard ;)
