Just had a weird thought:

Since this wallet can sign and transmit transactions over Bluetooth, doesn't this mean that you can essentially use it as a very secure cold-storage wallet, by disabling all data and internet connection on a separate phone running it, and leaving only Bluetooth powered up?

I would like to make sure that you can check. One possibility would be QR codes.

Why not via wifi connection?

So I'm confused, is there currently a plan to make this work more like the satoshi client so you can spend your change with 0 confirmations? I'd like to use this to show my friends satoshidice, but it doesn't work very well when you have to wait for a new block after each bet.

I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.

If we are talking strictly about Andreas' Android core wallet, what it wants me to do is buy, sell, and trade in small amounts of bitcoin in the first place. so far so good.

If I fire up the app, I even can't see my 12-word seed without first loading some bitcoin into it.

My question is, is there a simple implementation of the same idea but one which let's me play with my 12-word seed and all that is behind the scenes, before I put actual money into it?

The Hive Wallet was such a fork of Andreas's code. I previously used Hive's web version and liked it. I don't know anything about how Hive for android worked, though.

I don't have the latest version, but I have decrypted the wallet from andreas's program in the past and used the bitcoinj tools to pull the seed out of it. I don't think any such functionality is exposed in the gui, though (although it would be nice).

Well, how much time does it take to confirm a transaction..its taking too long? I sent 0.002 2 times 2 hours ago and each tx carried a fee of 0.0001 BTC .. Its still unconfirmed.. Is it the problem with the wallet?

thanks!

Most probably, not! Have you checked whether the transactions are broadcasted or not? This can happen because the number of transactions now is high and when miners sort transactions, you maybe in the long queue. Just wait!

Thanks... I got it confirmed now.. I'd better put a 0.0002 tx fee on every tx starting from today Wink

Or take a moment to check out the transaction volume before sending. There's actually a couple of useful websites for this. At least one I've seen shows the average confirmation times for transactions sent at various fee rates at the current moment. I can't recall the url at the moment but I believe it has fee estimator in the name. I'm sure you can turn it up with a little searching.

cointape.com was one

Irregardless, you can't just set a single high-usage background app to stop being high-usage from the Wi-Fi only Android OS settings.

Why not? That's what the "Restrict app background data" checkbox is for.

A checkbox that does not exist in Wi-Fi only Android 4.4.2 when selecting any app under Data usage.

Depending on the tablet, you may be able to "root" it to allow the installation of a modified version of Android that lets you control background data for individual applications. It's not for the faint of heart, and it would help to establish for certain that the option you want is definitely available before you seek this out.

I would appreciate an option to only connect to peers on request. I pay per MB, and even though I usually have data transfer disabled it has managed to transfer 60 MB just this month.

In the data usage preferences, disable background data. Android allows disabling either for all apps or for individual apps specifically.

Note if you open the app manually, it will still sync as this will count as "foreground".

That option only appears in Android devices that aren't WiFi-only. If you're tethering your WiFi-only device to cellular networks, using a cell-to-WiFi device like Karma Go or MiFi, connecting through a VPN, using paid hotspots that you don't own, etc... the only solution I can see is https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11863617

In this case, use the Android Network Restrictions dialog to make your tethering Wifi network behave as if it were a mobile network.

Does not exist in Android 4.4.2, the latest firmware available for my Wi-Fi only tablet. Unless you mean Data usage>Mobile hotspots under the menu key, then you have to check each Wi-Fi network and have all background apps restricted even if you want to restrict only the high-usage one(s).
