This is fantastic guys! Really looking forward to trying it out.
Just a quick question. To enable remittance and marketplace functionality, will you be integrating an option to convert fiat to steem/SBD and to buy steem using credit cards etc.?
That's in the final scope for sure, part of the mission to make is scalable. You can also consider it as a "third part" App that can be integrated on the Busy platform. We are discussing with @bitspace with their bitgate project (decentralized exchange based on Bitshares/Graphene, that can allow fiat to crypto conversion/trading), i'm also in contact with a company in HK that may help us to manage credit card payment as well as offering a Steem Debit Card product to our users. This is probably not gonna happen before the end of 2017 though
Great project @ekitcho.
Shapeshift API is also easy to integrate to enable smoother cash out via BTC.
It would be sweet if busy allowed authentication on the site through a hardware wallet like trezor, any plan to integrate them?

You probably already know....

I knew they were working on something for a while ;)
Didnt notice this publication ! Thx for sharing i'm looking into it right now and will figure out/manage how it can help Busy as well
Cool. Lookingforward to this. A Steem Debit Card would be great!
I believe in your project, and believe an easy way of converting Steem to fiat and vice versa is one of the critical elements required to help Busy and Steem become mainstream. I know it’s not going to be easy, but to ensure success for the project, I hope there could be a solution with the public release of Busy.
Keep up the great work mate.
