Status Core is responsible for implementing a decentralized, reliable Ethereum reference client for Mobile on Android and iOS. This client should provide a reliable communication medium and ability to access the open decentralized web.
Core team also sets up the design direction for the mobile app.
Desktop is out of scope, as is protocol research. Whitepaper use case implementation is partly in scope, partly not, depending on specifics and other teams.
Core needs an accountable, passionate get-shit-done mentality and drive, in contrast to the meandering blame-shifting.
Core should focus on problems/features that require multidisciplinary understanding and influence the application architecture. With the highest priority of making Status a usable application for consumption.
