Great project!

And even though I use Android, I'm very glad to finally see Coin Pocket available for iOS https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/coin-pocket-bitcoin-wallet/id885640234?mt=8

After 2 months of work, 120+ commits, and 11 pre-release versions I’m calling Coin Pocket ready for prime time.

Coin Pocket is an open source Bitcoin wallet that runs completely in the browser. This includes key generation, transaction signing, and storage. Block chain interactions are provided primarily by Blockchain.info with helloblock.io as a fallback.

I wanted to help out with Bitcoin adoption, especially with iOS users. I didn’t want to jailbreak , install profiles, or do any weird workaround. This is a legitimate approach using HTML5.

I also created Scan Code, a QR code scanner for iOS. A custom url scheme is used to launch Scan Code. After scanning, it immediately passes the data to a callback url. Coin Pocket integrates seamlessly with Scan Code to make scanning QR codes super easy on iOS.

Note: There is no service that backs up your private key. You are responsible for backing up your device and making sure Coin Pocket’s data is properly backed up with it. It is a known issue that updating iOS will delete Coin Pocket’s data. You will have to restore from a backup by resetting your device. I recommend moving your funds to a different wallet before updating iOS to avoid having to go through this.
