I tend to disagree, Android sucks when it comes to security and cryptographic features, it's a shame that Bitcoin wallets have no chance to take advantage of iOS's security features.

It could be worse, you could be like me and still have to use a Blackberry for corporate use. No wallets at all. I can bark surf the net on it.

Apple is a restrictive "captive computing" environment. You don't notice the walls as much if you don't develop for the platform, but if you ever make the leap - it will frustrate the living hell out of you. You need to sign every app in XCode with no less than THREE certificates, if any single one is wrong or revoked, you can't submit to the store or compile your application.

Android is miles easier, you can sign your app if you WANT TO, but otherwise you compile an .apk and can send it to ANYONE, no restrictions. No wonder Android is eating Apple's lunch on marketshare.

Yup. Black box systems are in major trouble. Cant trust any of them. They are totally unworkable in the world of cryptofinance.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

Great news.

Apple users don't deserve the benefits of Bitcoins.

Their financial and social support of iStalins and HitlerPads is appalling.

Apple fully supports total information awareness on behalf of the all-seeing eye:

The AntiSec hacking group claims to have released a set of more than 1 million Apple Unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs) obtained from breaching the FBI. The group claims to have over 12 million IDs, as well as personal information such as user names, device names, notification tokens, cell phone numbers and addresses.

Google isn't much better, but at least they pay lip service to 'not being evil' and eschew walled gardens. I also have a gut feeling there are more Snowden types working for Mountain View than Cupertino. The Google folk drank the Obama Kool-Aid, but the Apple people chugged it (and have a cultural problem with admitting mistakes).

I saw that...sad.

Happy that the app is still available on Android. Another reason to love android.
Hopefully they don't get rid of blockchain app.

Please bear with me

No wonder Apple share price is going nowhere. Post-Jobs, they just turned into a bunch of ultra-conservative technophobes, milking the legacy of a great technovisionary. In order not to see the potential of this new technology, you gotta be completely blind or confused. Or both... In order to alienate its actively growing user base, you have to be dumb, plain and simple.

One of the better funded app startups should sue Apple for damages, seriously. That'll teach this huge techno-bureaucracy a lesson or two, for sure.
