Can you use the front camera to scan QR codes?

Yes, I did, and now there's a leftover key that I'm not going to use on the auxiliary device; can you tell me how to delete it?
Go to Keys tab, select the key to delete, and click Delete in the menu. Confirm + Confirm

that sounds like a combination of a ui/backend bug. its a bit complicated to tell what is happening. could you take a video of your phone showing it?

Difficult - at the moment it does not happen anymore, and the phone is my only device capable of recording videos easily :-)
I'll observe it, maybe after my last changes to the phone (had to install Link2SD due to space problems) the problem went away...

As you type a list of available choices should appear between the text box and the keyboard. You finish the dialog by selecting one or clicking the back button.

Yup I've seen it when I tried again, but at first this list did not appear - and now it is missing again, could it be a problem with the server?
The app does not give any indication that it's doing something, waiting for the server, musing about an error that happened, or anything else...

I want to use mycelium on two devices.  
How can I sync them?

create a backup on one phone, enable expert mode on the other phone and restore the backup.

(the key that was already generated there before is most likely not needed any more so you can delete it or move to archive)
Not having much luck syncing mycelium on the extra tablet.
Can't scan the qr code from the pdf (this tablet has no back camera), and I can't copy and paste the text key.  I had the pdf up on the tablet's screen and tried to copy the key by long press, but it wouldn't highlight, so I went and opened up the pdf on my laptop, copied the key and sent the key to myself in an email.  That worked.  In email, I was able to highlight and copy the plain text key.  So it's on the clipboard, but when I go to mycelium keys > add key, the clipboard button is still greyed out.  The mycelium app doesn't see the clipboard.  I was using gmail on a Nexus 7, if that helps any.  And the text definitely made it onto the clipboard, because I was able to paste it in other places, just not the mycelium app.
Do you have any suggestions?

there is also a known bug when you put something from Gmail to clipboard (but only on certain devices, Samsung S4 and apparently also Nexus 7) on my nexus 5 it works fine.
 there is most likely a workaround for this. but i haven't debugged it yet.

When adding a key the clipboard function only allows for importing Bitcoin addresses and plain text private keys, not encrypted private keys as the one you have on the PDF. I see that this is a bit stupid as handling plaintext private keys is not really safe. This is party due to historical reasons (encrypted private keys came along later).
I gotta fix this.

Can you use the front camera to scan QR codes?

Alternatively you can export your private key in plain text from one app and import it on the other from the clipboard. To do that go to the Keys tab, select the key and choose Export and then 'copt to clipboard'. Note: You have to be very careful when doing this, as it exposes your private key to the clipboard (read 'all other apps on both your devices') and anything that can listen on the transport from one device to the other.

If your tablet cannot scan QR codes at all you might not want to use it for spending coins, but merely monitoring your funds. In that case you can import just the bitcoin addresses (over clipboard, and it is safe to do so). This way you get a read-only version for monitoring and receiving funds.

Is there a way to change the wallet address so you dont have a bunch of transactions from the same address?
If you swipe to the Keys tab you can create additional keys/addresses. Once we get to HD wallets this will be automated for you.

This was my first bitcoin bought beer. The option has been available but I have just never chosen to go to a restaurant to buy a beer with btc.

This random event made my first btc beer that little bit more special in an unknown btc location and it was all because of randomly looking at this thread tonight ( I did already own the wallet) and meeting some cool people right next to my apartment. Small world in a busy(small) city.

Thank you Mycelium!

Just used the new feature. Within 30minutea of posting my listing I was contacted by a bitcoin meet up group. I had no idea about thus in Amsterdam on the NEXT street from my apartment!!! Within an hour of making my listing I had met and traded and drank some beer and even bought the beer with bitcoin!

What an amazing experience
Great to hear man!
This is really an amazing story, thanks for sharing.

I'll make sure to bump into you. It has been a year since I met you the last time at the San Jose conference.

Yes, it will be nice to meet again. I've been too busy to go to all these conferences that seem to pop up everywhere but Bitcoin 2014 is something I can't miss.

Video was funny. The feature however is the most exciting thing in actual practical Bitcoin use that I have seen in a long time. Very excited.

Looking forward to Bitcoin 2014 conference even more. This feature will be a killer there.

The latest major Mycelium feature, called Local Trader, is finally out of beta and available to everyone.

Great! (although I had to dump almost all other apps from my lowly GT-5500 because the new feature and the google thingies it requires ate too much memory)
Found one minor bug while plyaing with it: When entering a location using the input field, there's no OK button. The cr key on the virtual keyboard just adds a line break. So I can type a place name, but not finish entering it...

Onkel Paul

P.S.: loving the video!

I have been looking forward to this feature. It is works and if it is adopted and if it is adopted widely then it will be great step forward.

Yet... the youtube video is little bit crazy  Smiley
Little bit? It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen.
