Inspiration
I was at a Ordinal meetup in Prague and we wanted to give every attendee an Ordinal as proof of attendance. We figured out that there is no easy way to do that. Only if everyone downloads an app wallet, and the app wallets were not good. The Ordinals didn't show up after several confirmations on the blockchain. So I decided to solve that problem. It should be easy to give away Ordinals to noCoiners.
What it does
It is a simple website wallet (like myetherwallet) reachable here link. You download a wallet backup file to securely backup your wallet. You can receive, store or send your Ordinals directly on the website. The Ordinal will show up in the wallet even before it is minted. It is enough when it is in the mempool.
How we built it
It is built with React as frontend framework. It uses several crypto libraries as BitcoinJS-Lib ord bip32 under the hood to deal with the bitcoin transaction and wallet stuff.
Challenges we ran into
It was not easy to create a seed and store it. Also to provide a preview of the unmined Ordinal.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
That we have a preview of the Ordinal before it is minted.
What we learned
Ordinals are very new and you have to built everything from scratch as there are no examples available.
What's next for Ordimint Web Wallet
Build Build Build More wallet integration. Would be cool to have a site where you can see all your Ordinals no matter what wallet you use.
