We could provide that, but since everybody can just create new trade identities whenever he wants, it would be pointless, I guess. Whoever tries to scam people probably does not reuse his trade identity anyway, I would guess.

can we get a "block" trader function...... preferably block that user from seeing your advertisements or contacting you, kind of like LBTC

I put "Cash Only" in my trade description, and still get requests for online trades...

Are there plans for iOS BitID support, or can you recommend any iOS clients for BitID?

I get requests every once in a while from users nowhere near my location. I always point out that the feature is meant for local trades and that I'd be happy to trade the next time they are in my vicinity and can meet in person.

Bummer.

Agreed.

Paypal is BAD for bitcoin.  A scammer or even a disgruntled buyer can claim it was fake even many months later.

Note:  Paypal requires that you provide an online tracking number.   Since you didn't ship the coins, it is not trackable.   Don't be dumb enough to think the blockchain is considered online tracking as no transaction proves YOU sent the bitcoin or that the other party is the receiver.

As the name implies it's for local trading, i.e. meet up. PayPal and Bitcoin have never mixed. Multisig will not fix the PayPal problem.

SCAM WARNING. Be very careful if you want to use Mycelium like a tool to sell and trade. Its full of scamers. Encountered 3 in two days. Whoever will try to persuade you to do the PayPal trade is scamer. Only trade with people who do actually want to meet. Got myself caught once. Be extra cautious when using it. It really needs multi signature if its to be used in future..

All those you mentioned wouldn't be an issue for me. I'd actually like it in the currency and rate at the time of the trade. Looking forward to your long term solution.

Sorted! It was the currency setting in main menu!

I just started using Mycelium and wanted to set up the trade advert, but I can't seem to be able to change currency to GBP? Anyone is having this issue or know why its not working? Only USD is there as currency for me.

That's possible, but it turned out to be rather confusing for users. Old transactions will have no Fiat amounts, and in the case where you get money but just fire up mycelium a day later, the price might have changed already. And if you changed currency you had some tx in one currency, some in another etc.
So this now is our short term solution, cause it treats all tx the same. Our long term plan is to store historical exchange rates on our server and show the Fiat amount at transaction time for all tx.

Regarding the fiat amounts in the tx tab. Currently they are moving with the price. Is it possible to fix the entry at the rate at the time of the tx?

I'd like to ask about progress of iOS wallet...  I have Android and iPhone. Android wallet is great, v2.2 update is really neat (thanks guys!)... but iOS is far behind... any dates / info about iOS version?

No, I am sorry, this has not been implemented yet.
But todays release re-introduces the ability to create single address accounts, so you can make a receiving account for a person, label it with that persons name and then forward the money to your HD account, if you want to.

And yes, the lookahead is 20 addresses on the receiving address chain, as per the standard, we just do not allow to see these additional addresses which we scan yet...

Has this been implemented? I really need this feature.
I like giving an address to someone and being able to say:
"Any payment sent to this address will be considered as yours, no matter the sending address".
I don't like giving the same address to more than one person.


Can't the wallet store a counter to know how many unused addresses have been generated?

Or scan 20 more addresses after the last used one and limit to 20 the number of unused addresses one can have?

Number one is a feature request already on our list, but it is tricky. The app does need to wait for a sync to be able to decide whether there possibly  is another HD account, and then needs to check whether that one had activity. It either takes a very long time to import than or interrupts the user in weird ways. But we will figure something out.

Number two isn't a big bug but a very important security feature. You imported the seed so we know you have a backup. If we would allow making a second  backup without having a pin set or right after setting one, anybody who briefly grabs your phone could make a backup and steal any current or future funds at any future time without you ever knowing where the money went. Needing the PIN or waiting two days protects you from this.

Number three is a bug, but you can get the history back by selecting "Rescan account" (reload account if you are on beta) either from the accounts menu or from the transaction history. You should get back all the history after a moment.

Oh, and Bug 3.

During the upgrade to the new version, although my wallet was protected via backup on another device, most of the transactions disappeared from the accounts.

So, although my HD wallet is fine and the account balances are all correct (on the many HD wallet accounts), I lost all the transaction history on all accounts (except for a few prior transactions).  Not having the private keys is one thing, but now losing all the transaction history is bad as well. 

Something I consider a BUG and a BIG BUG (issue)....

Using mycelium for a long time now.

First small bug/issue is...
I decided to backup my device to another in case I lose one (both being password protected, etc).
Install mycellium on the second device, went to restore my HD wallet by using the seed restore.  All fine, except that I had 0 coins, and lost several 'accounts'.
I started to freak out.  Resync and still none of the other accounts appeared.  Double checked my 1st device to see everything was fine.  Yeah.
So, on the second device, I hit add key, then HD account.  The next account was recreated from my first device.  Resync, everything fine.
Basically, I had to hit add key, add HD account several times to get all the accounts back (while waiting for a sync each time).
I believe the "Restore" feature should automatically go through and find all accounts (and sync).

Second big bug...
I decided to make a backup (for various reasons).  Turns out my version was updated since the last time I did this, so....
Accounts, Menu, Backup.
It tells me that I can't backup unless I have a pin code set.   Great, so now I have to set a short 6 digit code on top of the giant ass password I have on my device.
Option?  No, it's a requirement in order to make a backup.  Geesh.   Ok, I set a pin.  All fine?, Nope.....

I go back to make a backup, and now it tells me this:
"Additional Masterseed Backup   
Sorry, an additional backup is currently not possible.   
Your PIN was recently changed.   
To increase the security of your funds, we prevent you (or anyone else) to export the master-seed shortly after setting a new PIN. 
You have to wait for at least 288 blocks (~2 days)."

Are you kidding me?   I can spend the coins, but I can't actually make a backup in case I lose my device.

PS. I still Love mycelium.
