I just got a kindle. Loading strongcoin.com works although the browser is slow.

Why is strongcoin so slow when it comes to sending multiple transactions at once? I heard on the lending forum that the first tx gets broadcast and the other ones have to wait.

StrongCoin represents the future of online ewallets, especially for merchants. It is the bitcoin version of Hushmail for secure messaging which has been using java-based key gen and hashing for over 12 years. http://www.hushmail.com/about/technology/how-it-works/

This is so awesome. I'm telling everyone about it. How do I clear out a wallet though? For example, say I have 100btc, I can't withdraw 100, i have to do 99.0099 or something.
Every good question has an answer in it..

This is brilliant. The community has been waiting a long time for a service like StrongCoin.

I am confused, does the fee come out before or after sending? As in, if i type in 2.5 with a fee of .025, does 2.5 get sent to the recipient, or do they only get 2.475?
Yes, it is added on top of the amount you want to pay. I'll make this more clear by providing a total as well as a fee field.

I was one of your customers that reported the payment rejection scenario and because if it I have a couple of rejected transactions in my transaction record.
I won't be re-trying old transactions and I'll add a delete transaction link. That will hopefully be ready this week.

Hi Peter,
Typically you would see you account balance update after the transaction has been picked up by a block. (10 mins max).
I have an issue at the moment where if someone makes 2 payments in succession before the first payment hiots a block then it acts as a double spend.
This is due to the nature of the way I have 1 key pair for each account. I'm going to add a fix to the GUI that will allow multiple payments in 1 transaction.
I'm also going to add code that will re-try a transaction if it doesn't get into a block.

Could you please provide for a way for me to delete these rejected transactions? Also I am very concerned that any new retry code NOT retry these transactions as I no longer wish them to be transmitted (they are over a month old). So please allow me to delete them or please delete them yourself from the database before you implement any retry code that may retry them.

Here is a typical transaction at http://blockexplorer.com/tx/62ab321ced852b835615d0a16dd5cea661b6741a37a5f96657a2a9474a4332e0
I asked to send 0.25 BTC to http://bitlotto.com to enter into the next bitlotto drawing. You can see my account 1BurtWEejbnKeBRsvcydJvsNztB1bXV5iQ started with 2.49 BTC and you can see the 0.25 going to 123MZyiPrNPRuwxTMcTGhp9EAixrNETqDV (the address for the Dec 7 drawing) and also 0.0025 going to 1STRonGxnFTeJiA7pgyneKknR29AwBM77 (the strongcoin commission address). 0.0025 was paid to the miners and remainder goes back into 1BurtWEejbnKeBRsvcydJvsNztB1bXV5iQ
So 2.49(start) - 0.25(bitlotto) - 0.0025(strongcoin) - 0.0025(miners) = 2.235(remaining)
So the commission and fee are deducted on top of your request.

I'm having this problem too, how long do transactions take to get into the network?

It's a killer!!! No block chain hassles... no wallet.dat problems... accessible from mobile..... I will be doing my version of it soon.... Good luck guys!...

So, are transactions supposed to work already?
Around 30 minutes ago i made a payment. It is also visible in the GUI with this txid: 3b2a300ba7a65f79573b404863f37e0ebc2298312498bfe3613eff61d9faef7b
But blockexplorer just keeps saying "no such transaction". Also the balance of my account is not reflecting the payment.

Okay, now transaction is through! But it took quite some time to show up...

BS...
1. Nothing can be sniffed here... ( signed transaction that will be public in several minutes )
2. Google will not change source code of JQuery on CDN just because some strongcoin is linking to it.
3. Some of the aspects of the article do not relay to our matter... (The problem is, having established a secure channel with SSL, you no longer need Javascript cryptography....)

Anyone who thinks that doing client side crypto (here's looking at you, StrongCoin developers) adds any safety or security doesn't know how JavaScript works.
I direct you to the excellent write-up on matasano.com, explaining clearly why doing crypto on the clientside is a waste of time:
http://www.matasano.com/articles/javascript-cryptography/
It's also worth noting that StrongCoin sources javascript from both Google -and- Twitter, enabling either of those organizations (or anyone who obtains a certificate for either of those organizations, or anyone if SSL is not used) to completely subvert this "secure" clientside crypto.

Great service. Thank you.
I had to use chrome instead of firefox 7.0.1 to import a private key, the "import" button would not activate. Probably an adblock or ghostery issue on my side, but thought I would point it out.
Using it to hold dividend addresses for our GLBSE company.

Fantastic! I will check it out later today.

First, I LOVE this site and idea. It is exactly what we need to get non-technical people to learn about and start using Bitcoins.
1) Import Key Function, Import Mini Key drop down - Incorrectly calculates the private key from the mini key (probably a very simple math issue).
1) Import Key Function, Import Mini Key drop down - Incorrectly calculates the private key from the mini key (probably a very simple math issue).
This was fixed a few days ago.
Additionally, it would be nice if I could pay no fee to move the funds from the imported account to another account on StrongCoin without a fee.
I'm looking into the best way to do this. As I don't have the private keys and I don't have a balance I would have to send the payment onto the network. So I would at least have to pay a fee to the miners. But perhaps I could swallow that.
