Wowshuxkluh will be an an Angular 1.x library for Ionic that lets mobile devices automatically (or intentionally) connect to Ethereum microcomputer clients over BluetoothLE. The project's goal is to:
- Make proximity detection events transactionally available to smart-contracts in a way that provides a minimally competent location oracle for mobile.
- Provide an interface that lets mobile Dapps interact with animist-io/whale-island to deploy contracts and execute transactions over Bluetooth securely.
Use cases for such a system include:
- Competitive races
- Any game where presence of the players together in the same space is a key component (ex: Assassins)
- Location dependent incentive/reward programs
Repo currently contains early drafts & tests of a BLE client, beacon detector and Ethereum account manager.
Key design issues here include:
- Ethereum account management on devices
- Secure local connection/auth between IOT Node and mobile device
- Bundling various Ethereum javascript libraries for inclusion in an Ionic application.
