The assembler service is up and running. Ergo Auction House is already integrated to use the service in order to bypass the node requirement for placing bids.
Just to mention one more time what the service means for dApp development ecosystem, dApp developers can basically assume their users are running a node and register any transaction generation request to the service; then the user can use his favorite wallet and sends the necessary funds to the dedicated address. This process is fairly fast since it does not require user’s funds to be mined, it uses unconfirmed boxes to generate the requested transaction.
This is just the case with the Ergo Auction House; since it already supported node, integrating it with the service was a matter of few lines of code!
The code is open source here; I’m going to write a detailed description of how to use the service in the coming days on Github. I hope to see new dApps using the service and become usable for all the community, not just the techy ones with node.
