Thanks.
You can do this already, but maybe it is not that obvious. "BTC" is an icon, and if you click it the valuue turns into your selected fiat currency.

Thanks for that. I'm sure I did try to click on it as that was what I thought but it did not change, must have clicked just outside it then. Great to see, thanks

Been testing and it looks great.

One suggestion, not sure whether I might have missed something or maybe I'm still to new at this.

When clicking on 'Receive' one have the option to enter an amount with the 'Optional Amount'. When I select this I see that the amount is entered in bitcoin. Would it be possible to maybe be able to change this to enter an amount in say fiat i.e. USD?

I think this might make it easier as often a transaction is based on a fiat value which one then first have to convert to bitcoin before one can enter it here. Would be much faster if I could just enter say USD 200 and have the QR generated with the relevant bitcoin value.

Hope above makes sense. Other than that looks great.

Thanks.

Also, words in settings are the same for two different hd wallets - bug?

You mean you get the same wordlist for two HD _accounts_? That's not a bug, it's a central feature, all your HD accounts are derived from the same master seed, so you just need to backup once and will be able to get to all addresses in all accounts you ever create with that backup.

Thanks for the reply. What about possibility of importing public key of hd wallet?

* Email notifications for LocalTrader - Google Push Notifications system is still kind of unreliable, and we can't fix it because it's Google servers that are having issues, so this is a fix until we figure out something better.

How to change email address in LocalTrader?

About HD Wallet:
Can I see more (used?) receiving addresses?
Can I import Electrum Public Key (for watch-only functionality)?
Can I create Public Key of Mycelium Master Seed?

You can set the notification email address in settings.

You cannot see old receiving addresses directly. In general reusing address makes you less anonymous. There are two workarounds however:
1. You can select a transaction in an account and 'Show Details'. This will list all the addresses participating in the transaction. If the transaction was you sending, then the input addresses will be yours.
2. You can select an account and select 'Show Unspent Outputs'. This will list those of your addresses that have funda in them.
In general I think we should all be moving away from directly managing/using addresses.

You cannot directly view/export the root public key from the master seed. You can however see the BIP39 word list (in settings for now as a debug thing). We are probably going to add a feature that allows you to properly export the master seed word list. That list can be imported into other BIP39 compatible tools.

Thanks again,
Yes, I think I will just send via a transaction.
The main reason I am doing this is to end up with a 'Cold Storage' wallet. If its not too much to ask, can you instruct me on how to create a cold storage wallet, or can you point me to a good site which explains it?

The point in having a cold storage is not to have the private key stored on any device.
You just scan the private key from paper in order to create transactions.
Here is a video showing how that works.

The best way to create paper wallets for cold storage is to use the Mycelium Entropy. But till you get one, you could for example use bitaddress.org to generate bitcoin addresses, and the option paper wallet from the menu to print them like in the video. Just note that depending on the amount of money you will put on that paper wallet you might want to take extra steps to rule out the possibility of malicious software to steal your private key. For example: download bitaddress.org, take your computer offline while generating and printing, etc. Please make sure you know about the risks before putting serious amounts of money on an address.

Thanks ....

I am considering replacing multibit with mycelium. But I need access to the private key in mycelium to do this.

I tried to import the key from clipboard, but the option is greyed out even after copying the test to the clipboard.

How do I get the clipboard import option to be active?

(If you wish to migrate then I think it is a better idea to send the funds using a transaction.)

The clipboard button automatically gets enabled if you have a private key on it in SIPA format.
Here is an example:
KwWVqndQMw1DyL4Sb2moNArofcQztswhGbSkX2M9mhDBv6BtZ6gW

DON'T use it except for testing purposes!

On some phones there have been problems with the clipboard, so alternatively you can turn it into a QR code using some software you trust.

Hi,

I need a little assistance.

I exported my private key from my multibit wallet, but could not work out how to import into Myceluim. I assumed I could import the key file, but there was no file import option. So I copied the content of the key file to the clipboard, but the 'read from clipboard' option was greyed out.

I then scanned the QR code from multibit which worked, so now I can see the balance in Mycelium, but it does not contain the private key.

How can I import the private key?

Thanks
Andy

You probably scanned the bitcoin address from multibit and got a read-only account in Mycelium. To be able to spend you need the private key.
If you have the private key on SPIA format you can import it from the clipboard as a text string, but you must be aware that any app on your phone can potentially get to it while on the clipboard. In general I don't think it is a good idea to share private keys among wallets. IMO it is better to let the wallets protect and spend from their own private keys. The more computing environments you expose a private key to the more you are exposed to theft or loss.
(Mycelium does not support importing multibit backups)

Thanks.
I would much rather get the scanner work with Cyanogen on Galaxy S4. Can you send a bug report with as much detail as possible to [email protected]? A short movie clip that shows how it behaves would be really helpful.

I can try to send you a movie. But I think that it's just an issue of my old cyanogen build. The latest builds will probably work, but I dont want to go through the whole update procedure again.
I would really appreciate a "reading from gif" feature. This would also be helpful to people with a broken cam (i.e. my brother) Wink

Adding this feature means two things:
1. Quite a bit of development work (we are swamped already)
2. More complex UI for everybody else
Sorry, but it is probably more fair (if measured across of the universe for some kind of undefined means of measuring) if you update cyanogen and if your brother gets a phone that is not broken.

Ok. Do you still want the movie clip?

If an upgrade to cyanogen does the trick that won't be necessary.
