Post by: skywise on October 21, 2013, 07:09:28 PM
Topic pretty says it all.
CoinJar is now on iOS, has Apple relaxed it's rules regarding wallets?
Would be great to get Electrum on iOS.

Looks like it requires iOS 7, which hasn't been jailbroken yet AFAIK.

Not for one's main wallet, but if you're out and about and need to spend .5 BTC on something, running home to the heavily firewalled wallet server kinda limits the User Acceptance Factor of BitCoin.

No jailbreak needed for CoinJar, it's in the app store.

I don't like keeping my money on a phone, I feel like it's easy to compromise.
I just use the old fashioned computer stored wallet, with my backups.  When I know I can't be home, I just send the bitcoins to blockchain.

It's free, yes. I have it. It's pretty darn basic but it's definately a wallet app.

CoinJar requires iOS 7 to run. Since iOS 7 hasn't been jailbroken, you can't run CoinJar if you want to keep your jailbreak.

I'm happy with the blockchain.info app though. I wouldn't want to carry my main wallet around - it's just too insecure

Yep, maybe we should try it out.

There is also an app that let's you send and receive BTC called glyph, or something like that.

Agreed, shouldn't carry the entire bank roll with me on my phone, but for spending BTC when not home I think a non-web based wallet is about as secure as we can hope for.  (if you want to grab something online while at work, you'll have to go through the office proxy which will bypass any https security you have with blockchain or whoever)
I've got my own electrum server linked with my own bitcoind daemon so I'm relying on as few others as possible.

Mannn, the Coinbase app would be even better if they wouldn't have taken away our ability to get Instant Transfers with just an identity verification. Now, as I'm sure most know, you have to have a damn credit card! Ugh..oh well..
