A Danish software company
Miracle A/S has implemented an awesome Bitcoin client for Android called
BitcoinSpinner. The developer is not active on this forum, and since it is built on top of the
BCCAPI, and I have participated with testing and suggestions I am proud to announce it here.
BitcoinSpinner is minimalistic, to the point, and is intended for broad adoption.
Features:
- Ready for use right after installation - The block chain is managed by a server.
- NOT a Bitcoin bank - All private keys are kept in app-private storage on your device.
- Send & Receive Bitcoins using QR codes.
- Share your Bitcoin address using Gmail, Twitter and more.
- Backup & Restore your wallet using QR codes.
- It is Open source - Geeks can download the code, review it, and roll their own.
Because BitcoinSpinner does not download and manage the Bitcoin block chain it is ready for use immediately.
This also means that it has:
- Low storage requirements.
- Low bandwidth requirements.
- Low CPU requirements.
- Low battery consumption.
BitcoinSpinner comes in two versions and is available on the Android Marketplace:
Note that this is a beta release. Use with caution.You cannot have an announcement like this without a bounty: The first one to post a picture in this thread of their Android device with a scannable QR address code displayed with BitcoinSpinner will get a shiny new Bitcoin.
