This is an experimental release of a Bitcoin Wallet implementation for your mobile phone. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency You can send bitcoins between phones just by scanning the QR code that is displayed by the app. KNOWN ISSUES, PLEASE READ: - If App force closes upon start after updating to new version, make sure to clear app data in application manager. - It is currently limited to testnet (meaning those Bitcoins have no real value). For production use, some issues have to be resolved and the app has to prove stable. - When run for the first time, the block chain needs to be downloaded. This currently takes around 5-10 minutes on a WLAN. When the sync icon in the status disappears, the download is finished and the wallet is on the top of the block chain. - When a peer is connected, an exclamation mark icon is shown in the status bar. Should be a better icon, but I had none. - If you send money, you need to make sure that a peer is connected the moment you press 'Send'. Otherwise, for now the app will force close and the transaction is lost. - No NFC support, because I still have no NFC-capable phone. If you can spare one (e.g. a Nexus S) send it over and I'll send it back after NFC is implemented. You can get test bitcoins to play with from https://testnet.freebitcoins.appspot.com/ or drop me a mail with your address and I'll send you some. License: GPLv3 -- BTC
