Glad to know you like the app and find it useful. We are working on many new features, two major enhancements you will see in a few weeks are auto trading rules and Mining Toolkit. Mining toolkit will allow you to monitor mining rigs, mined coin difficulty and profitability and other mining related info right within the app. Auto trader will allow automatic trading based on simple rules but without keeping your phone awake or draining your battery.

Besides the new features we are working really hard to make sure any problems faced by users are handled immediately and resolved fast.

cointra,

Any plans to add support for Bitfinex margin trading functions?  Thanks.


Few exchanges currently have advanced orders (Kraken and Bitfinex being the popular ones) and while we actually added margin order support to the API (for Krakan and Bitfinex only), we didn't add supporting screens and for the first release decided to not include margin trades. If there is enough demand for advanced trades, we will include them. I will consider your post as the first vote for advanced trading!

Chinese translation has been added to the latest release. Russian coming soon.

Glad to see the app is getting noticed!

This app is extremely useful and a lot easier then trying to use your phones browser to trade or check current rates. I've had no issues with the app crashing. It's good on my battery, not like some apps that suck it dry if you don't force close it. I haven't tried using it for long periods while on 4G data since I have a small data plan however with WIFI being almost everywhere it's not a problem.

Not sure what more you can add to the app but I'm sure you guys will find a way to make it even better!

Added Video instructions on how to generate BTC-e API for use with the app. Videos for other exchanges coming soon.
Edit Also added Bitstamp API Key instructions video. Check the 2nd post.

Automated rules were requested by one beta tester as well. It in our enhancement list, since the objective was to keep it simple, we didn't include them in the first release. We plan on adding very simple rules down the road (buy when +/- X%, sell when +/- X%, stop when +/- X%).

Its the first public release so we knew we will face bugs, the app runs on around 4100+ devices, and they can have many different OS versions, with some people using cutting edge unofficial versions, bugs are sure to appear!
Of course, it's completely normal - you can't test every device in the world with every possible configuration before releasing the app Smiley
Adding those simple rules would be useful, although it would require to always keep the app running (or else the rules wouldn't apply - unless you do it server-side).

We don't transmit the API keys to our servers so trade has to happen from the device. We are using a different mechanism where the device can sleep and still the rules can be used effectively. If you want details I can PM you.

Would you accept having a trusted member audit the code for security purposes (instead of open sourcing it)?
There's been too many problems due to viruses...

Absolutely open to the idea. Any trusted member can contact me for code review.

Thank you guys for reporting the issue with GT-I9100 force closing. Issue seems specific to this phone! Working on a fix for the next build.
Great to see you're trying to solve all bugs as they appear.
Do you plan on supporting automated trading based on specific rules?

Here is an example of an API key for a BTC-e account

Key: 821FH6SF-JUFCWRJ2-JUWCHN6L-UC1CPLCP-T8UJSHNK
Secret: 55650306433dd24b1619c9f0337b297e9773e0066ee1cbe77f47042b709c6434

Is this a working account which we can use to try it?

Also, I think you'd get way more installs if you lower the API version - unless you're using some specific features, you're only limiting yourself Smiley

We're not using any specific feature limited to newer API as such, however our internal tests showed that older devices lag too much, and the screen estate (majority of old devices have low dpi and screen size) is also not enough to render the charts with other controls efficiently. That and since 82.7%+ are running 4.0+ http://bgr.com/2014/05/05/android-version-market-share-april/ we decided to stick to Min SDK 14. Still I will ask the developers to try to run on lower API and see if we can release with even lower Min SDK.

That API key is not a valid key, it was just an example but I like the idea. I will be glad to create an actual API key on any exchange with 0.1BTC or equivalent in altcoins for Hero Members to test and give their feedback. If they make any profit trading its theirs! I can't post such API key in public primarily because API keys don't work on more than one client at the same time (they require incrementing nonce number which can conflict when multiple devices are using the same api)

That's a very generous offer.  Smiley

I'd take you up on it but I'm not hero level yet.

Anyway, I think your explanation about api keys makes sense and I think I'll give your app a try in a few days when I get a chance to look at my CGB stash and open relevant accounts.

Just for the sake of discussion though, can you say anything about why you *wouldn't* want to provide the source for your app?  Are you worried about someone stealing your code?


Well the app generates charts using data from our servers (that way they're very fast and also your ip doesn't get blocked by your exchange for continuous polling), if it was only client side code pulling nothing from our servers, open sourcing would be a non issue, but in our case the last thing we wanted was 100 other softwares pulling chart data from our server pretending to be Cointra using its API. But again as I said earlier going open source is always an option, we even asked our beta testers to tell if going open source would help, most responded "maybe".

This makes sense to me.  I appreciate the motivated and careful replies to my inquiry.  FWIW, I'm pretty convinced that I want to try it now Smiley

I hope you find the app usable. Please leave any feedback you may have here and on Play store. Thank you!
