Good news looking forward to it being live.
Honestly i must say I don't really understand the task you're working on this week.
STEEMPEAK has been working on the UI I believe you're aware of that.
However we weren't sure where you're at with things or what need there is.
Love to hear about that and we'll restart work on things.
Will a UI be needed soon or not really until after the proposed hardfork which is 7+30 days away?
There should be UI before that point, because a UI will help expose the need for any changes needed to the API.
Note the API is functional now. I added a comment to your issue in github that discusses the problem you were encountering and what you need to do to overcome it, btw.
As far as the above comment, not sure if that was your issue or someone else's (a lot of aliases, so it gets confusing).
But in any event, you should be able to proceed with a functional prototype now, and it would be great to have one as soon as possible.
So does this mean you're hired to create a UI for the new wallet website? That was what I was a bit uncertain of.
