But I don't get you when you say "less control in cloud computing"... Because I'll have full control of it.
Exactly. You'd have full control of it... and could run off with the coins of all your users whenever you wish Wink

At my cloud, your wallet will be hosted in your own Virtual Machine Instance, entirely encrypted with your password, which I don't know.
I think a cloud hosted system is interseting, but having each VM with a full client would get heavy and waste a lot of disk space since each one would need the full blockchain.

You need a light client like Electrum if you want to be able to scale https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/announce-electrum-lightweight-bitcoin-client-50936.

Not if I use some kind of deduplication file system.

Also, I'm planning to create a feature called "download wallet", so you'll be able to open it in your own regular Bitcoin client.

Yes, I can scan the RAM memory of my physical server, to try to find your key but, this is hard to do (I'll not do) and, if you are logged out, I'll never be able to try to take your coins.

BTW, trust is something you (me) earn.

I'll never run off with any coins, never.

People change but, I'm not a thief and I'll never be.

I'm thinking in two versions for the Universal Client, one for web and another in C/C++/C# for desktops/mining rigs... But those two versions can/should share common functions/code. And have a similar GUI / user experience.

grue,

 I would like to help / invest on this C# development ONLY IF it can run on Linux using mono. I do not have any interest in Windows environment.
how do i know if it will run in mono? what .net framework should i use?

Mmm..  I have no idea but, the following site maybe can help:

http://www.mono-project.com/

Also, I have a friend that knows how to do it... I'll ask him...

Best,
Thiago

 I prefer the development in pure C, using the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries but, C# can be fine too...

 This interface will have support for Bitcoin, Litecoin and Namecoin, with option to "register your domain" with one button, using your own Namecoins.

 A future version can be integrated with Dark Exchange or, a complete rewrite of it...

 I'm planing to fit this entire system in a 4G flashdrive.

Best!

I'd like a client like this.  I'll pay 1btc to whoever releasing a client up to my expectations with all these features.  (I use windows, don't want to have to do any command line or install any libraries.  Browser based could be good.).

Yes... I should be great for beginners...
I'll put a lot of effort to not have access to any wallet.dat file.
But I don't get you when you say "less control in cloud computing"... Because I'll have full control of it.
Thanks for the feedback!

Really?!   Undecided

Think about that... If we build a web client, the backend of each client will be Virtual Machine within a Cloud Computing powered by Eucalyptus and Ubuntu!

Please, take a look here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.425733

Let's work together?!

I can provide and maintain the entire Cloud Computing Environment dedicated to Bitcoin / Litecoin / Namecoin wallets.

Best!

i don't like cloud computing Undecided less control, more centralized. but great project though. would be great for beginners  Wink

It will be based in HTML5 + CSS3.

If the basic technology between litecoin, bitcoin, and namecoin are all basically the same, has anyone come up with a universal gui client that would work with all of them. I am looking for one that runs on mac.
