I was wondering how I can complete KYC without having a camera on the desktop I wish to sign up and set up on. A good feature would be a QR code link so that the user can set up a desktop wallet completing KYC via a mobile device.
The requested QR code is already a feature of our desktop wallet. At least for the DTS identity provider (and perhaps also Notabene, but I haven’t tried it recently), where you actually need to use a mobile device for taking the photos.
But as @Zoltan also mentioned, it will be possible to delegate your CCD via the mobile wallets once the new versions are released
For baking, you will need to run a baker node on a computer.
Thanks for the detailed reply, it looks like delegation suits my level of laziness to avoid running and managing the requirements for a node! Looking forward to being able to on mobile for now DCA!
Just a thought would it be possible in the future to transfer “identities” and thus wallets from mobile computer
I am not exactly sure about this. The issue is that the keys to your desktop wallet accounts are stored on a Ledger and never leave the device. This is quite different from how the keys are stored in mobile apps.
But you can always create a new identity and account with the desktop wallet and transfer your CCD from your mobile accounts. Or choose to keep some CCD on your mobile wallet for convenience and most of your CCD on the desktop for added safety via the Ledger.
In which case your mobile accounts can act as your spending accounts
Are you asking because you are considering becoming a baker in the future? Because that is possible with the accounts created on your mobile. For that you need to transfer your backup file to your computer and then import it with our command-line tool concordium-client. With the keys imported, you can then make your account a baker and setup the node for baking
We are working on adding passphrases to the mobile wallets, which means that you would get 24 secret words when setting up your wallet, and all keys are then generated from these words. Similar to how it works with a Ledger device.
Identities and accounts created with this new functionality will be transferrable between the desktop and mobile wallets.
Thank you very much for the replies. I would look to become a baker in the future yes but havent sat down yet and looked at the technical requirements. The passphrase sounds awesome so you can bring your wallets and identities everywhere!!!
For now ill just wait for passive staking or delegation for the mean time on mobile!
