+1, love the idea!

Looks more user-friendly and bright than the Original Bitcoin Client.
I hope to hear when it it released for Windows, as I would consider downloading it.

I look forward to seeing more about this alternative client in the future.

Thumbs up!  Grin

To those who watch this topic, please direct your antennas at this topic: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=29109.0 I will no longer maintain this thread!

And once again, thanks for all the kind words, you gave me a lot of motivation and personal satisfaction!

Beautiful work - I wonder if there might be support for plugins in the future?  For example a Mt. Gox or Tradehill plugin allowing you to exchange other currencies for bitcoins. They'd probably pay a developer (you) to build plugins.

Anyway - keep up the awesome work!   Grin

Plugins are one of my top concerns for this project, and I'm building it so that it would support plugins right away.

It's built using Python and HTML/Javascript, so plugins would be easily created with those very popular technologies and languages.

Thanks for the kind words! Smiley

I like it. Much more intuitive (and beautiful) than the bitcoin-qt project.

Both have benefits, and it isn't necessary to choose one over the other.  The more the merrier!

"bitcoin.exe -server"

Thanks.

I get so little sleep since I discovered bitcoins that my coworkers say I look like a zombie every day.

I still get a kick out of reading the "I found bitcoin and haven't thought about anything else for a month" type intros. I've read so many now, but I never tire.

Are you kidding me? Smiley This is worse than my teenage crush that I had. My girl tells me that I talk about bitcoins while I sleep. Mind you it's been two months already, still on my mind 24/7 Cheesy

This is great news, in many ways.

I think integration of buying and selling on mtgox et al. without leaving your gui would be a great addition.  For new users to have to leave a slick application and then go and see mtgox might be a bit of a shock!

This looks amazing. And is this just a proof of concept (as in hardcoded) or is it already working a bit? Following this thread for sure!

It's currently in concept and design phase, I'm hoping to start coding this sometime soon, until then what you read above is what I have Smiley

I'll keep this thread updated with progress (at least I'll try!)

Maybe its working thinking about the Bitcoin clients converging on something like this "envelope" budgeting interface?
My take on this is somewhat different. I do not intend to include a full-blown budgeting interface, though export of data to such tools (using CSV, for example) is in the pipeline.


For me it's less of a budget management, that will be done either by third-party plugins or by third-party apps, and rather an easy "tagging" of your money. The default Bitcoin client comes with a very simple but very useful tagging for address, I want to use just that but with streamlined UI and UX.

[1] I was planning on using MtGox, but letting the user configure that would be a smart option.
If you support switching to another currency, you need some provider that gives you an exchange rate. Different such providers could exist, some to USD or EUR or other national currencies, but also to completely virtual ones, such a digit-shifted bitcoin or indexed bitcoin. When exchange rates change, you could add virtual "interest" transactions into the wallet view.

[2] Do you mean like plain wallet.dat export?
We'll have (restricted) import/export of wallets to/from JSON soon in the main client, probably.

[3] I think I'm going to use TrueCrypt one way or another (embedded if possible), that way it's some sort of a standard and also pretty damn safe.
The next version (v0.4.0) is planned to have wallet encryption, so it may be unnecessary to depend on another encryption system.

This client and John Smith's client both look quite interesting.  For managing my money today, I use something called "Budget", which I utterly swear by:

Looks nice, seems to be pretty similar in concept to what I'm working on.

[1] Only thing i have to say would be that to handle the conversions, you will need to reference an exchange. And since there are multiple exchanges, you should go ahead and plan on putting a dropdown selection of several common ones in the settings. (I'm a fan of pre-planning and setting up apps to have setting options built in from the start. It makes things so much easier down the road.)

[2] As well with the backups, I would assume it going under the Accounts tab, in which you will have things like add, delete, move wallets. An export option as the backup would be nice as well.

[3] As for encyrption, you have one of two routes. Either encrypt it so that accessible with the use of the program. Or Enable different forms of encryption upon export/backup.
