Great, I've been using this app for ages, probably one of the most most exhilarating bitcoin apps.

Seeing BTC climb from $120 to $360 is great, but seeing your balance represented in fiat triple is just AWESOME. Only wish it had a widget (and a way to add an arbitrary amount of coins to your balance if you're holding them at an exchange or something).

[...]
You could add arbitrary coins by just finding some coins on blockchain that haven't moved in a while that match the value you want [...]

This is much harder and more time consuming than it sounds Shocked

Unless there's a quicker and easier way to look though addresses than watching blockchain.info

yes I agree - to be honest, blockchain.info does an excellent android app, and you can import all the public keys you want into their service (without trusting them with your funds) and then view your balance on their android app... I think you get everything that my app gives you and as well as push android notifications. Yes I know I'm sort of selling another app here, but the blockchain.info app is pretty good - the only thing it doens't have is multiple wallet support.

I am not getting warnings, but yeah, the total currecncy value in the bottom right corner has been blank for quite a while now. It's taking the fun out of watching your USD grow during these crazy times.

API needs updating or something? I'm not sure which exchange the price is pointing to?

I'm travelling at the moment (in Singapore for the Bitcoin Conference) but I can certainly take a look at fixing the exchange API when I get back. It's using bitcoincharts.com at the moment, so something must have changed on their system.

Cheers,

Will

There is a homescreen widget, but it only displays in BTC, not in fiat.

You could add arbitrary coins by just finding some coins on blockchain that haven't moved in a while that match the value you want (they can be multiple addresses...) then adding them... but of course if they ever move then your balance would change which might freak you out.

Didn't know there was a thread for this app until now. I'm using it, but it is still missing a QRcode reader Sad

Is anyone else getting the "Warning: unable to obtain currency information" error when trying to update the currency equivalent?

Hi,

Can you make a decode tool that also exports the private keys? Something much simpler than currently available, and works just like your existing decode tool for public keys.

Thank you.

Hi - pywallet is pretty simple to use, and what I recommend for everyone, since it has all the crypt to decode the encrypted private keys.

This would make a nice PC app for use without a phone.

It'll group transactions that occur in the same block. This was done to avoid seeing both the out and the change transaction in different columns in the transactions list. I'll see if I can work out a better way to do this based on the txhash rather than just on block timestamps.

Your other suggestion is a good one, but I can't easily get the friendly names from the bitcoin client - even pywallet (whose great JSON wallet export my app now happily accepts) doesn't seem to export the friendly names. I think what I'll probably do is allow you to just label the names again in the client and it'll persist those names. I'll try and get that in the next release.

Ok, bit of feedback Wink

It (the individual transaction view) appears to be combining payments. This is a little annoying.

For example, yesterday I got three payments from three different pools, all to three different addresses. At first, only the last payment appeared in the app. I left it for a while, and eventually found that I had to do a Force Update before the rest appeared, but now it grouped the second two txns into one amount. It's done the same this morning with two other payments.

Right now it's very handy for seeing at a glance how much total you have, but it's not great for seeing individual payments that come in.

Not sure if that can be fixed up? (and my suggestion in the post above would be awesome) Cheesy

Works fine, thanks

Quick question, and I'm not sure if this is possible at all. Are you able to show the "simple" names we've assigned to addresses in our client? For example, I've assigned "Slush" to an address so I can easily see which particular payments are from them.

Is that possible to pass over at all?

Just pushed 1.4.0 to the Android Market.

This fixes the issue that simonk83's (and others, I suspect) was having where the application was not correctly handling coinbase transactions (e.g. those from Eligius). It also adds some options for setting the maximum number of addresses to request at a time (for those people who have reported being behind proxies that are truncating the GET request) and also allows you to pick the number of decimal places to show when displaying balances.

Thanks for all those giving feedback - I do try to listen to my users so if you have any suggestions please post here or raise an issue on the Google code page.

Cheers,

Will

No joy here. Installed it this morning but I just get an error message about the JSON. No details are downloaded.

when do you get this error? When updating your balance?

JSON error at that point probably means the response from blockexplorer has been mangled in some way. Possibly a proxy cutting the request? I'm going to release a new version soon where you get to specify the length of the GET request to avoid this issue with some transparent proxies.

Thanks for letting me know the issue.

Will

Yep, when updating balance. "JSON Parse Error".

Hopefully the new version fixes it, this is a good idea

I've pushed version 1.3.1 to fix this date parsing issue - it's already on the Android market. This is just a bugfix release, I'll push 1.4 once I have some new features. If you currently have a unreadable wallet because of the parsing bug then you will need to update the balance once to fix the dates.
