I wondered alos why someone was so eager to clone an existing service (that davout and I are operating for free at our own cost) when there are so many developments yet to be made to improve bitcoin usability..
Anyway, we have plans to keep building on Instawallet and make it as reliable as possible going forward. Acquiring it from jav was also our way to acknowledge his invention and commitment to bitcoin.
Disclaimer: I am the developer of easywallet.org
I wanted some additional features over instawallet - such as mobile usage (easywallet.org is very quick and fast to use with iPhone with QR code scanning), and more anonymity (new addresses generated automatically each time one is used).
And yeah, I started this when I heard that instawallet was closing down. It is good to know that you'll be back in business.
I like kangasbros, but I actually use the API at instawallet, so until then, i'm faithful.
Our API is excatly the same as instawallets - however we don't have the streaming function. If you need that, I will consider implementing it.
