If I have all my Bitcoin on my QT application on my laptop, and find myself out somewhere only with my iPhone, exactly how do I send BTC to someone using my iPhone?

I am aware of the technique of using Coinbase, logging into their site, and sending from there (with a nice fee taken out too!) ....  using Safari (since apple banned their app).

But if my coins are not in Coinbase, and I sure as hell dont' want to pay a "withdrawal fee" ... how do I send from my iPhone?

EDIT:  As per responses, there is no fee to send from Coinbase.

If there is more than one way, please let me know.

You can't.

Unless you have a way to log into your home computer from your phone?

Maybe you should look into blockchain.info, I think you can access them from a smartphone?

Get an android phone instead of an iPhone, then you would have a lot more options, like using Electrum.

Coinbase only charges a fee to sell you bitcoins. Sending them is free.

I recommend that you create a separate blockchain.info wallet and use the blockchain.info app on your phone. In my opinion, Blockchain.info is safer than coinbase.

Coinbase is how i've done it in the past with an iphone. There's no extra fee for sending btc with coinbase.

I ended up switching to android though,  much better options both for bitcoin and just the control i have over my phone in general.

For the most part Apple used DRM to censor Bitcoin applications so there are very few choices for using an iPhone to send Bitcoin. One app that made it past the Apple censor board is blockchain.info's app. https://blockchain.info/wallet (https://blockchain.info/wallet); however one must keep in mind that Apple may at any time censor this app so this is not a long term solution. Rumour has it that this app is not updated in order to avoid triggering a censorship review.

The best option here is to ditch Apple and get an Android phone.

Would it not be possible to use an app with a jailbroken phone?

Download the blockchain app super simple to use. if you don't have a blockchain wallet here set one up blockchain.info

If you want to test the app out here send some btc to this address thanks :) 18b4Gf3THV9rpemVEPfXGHTJxor1nz3ViE

Iphone=used toilet paper

With jailbroken iphone you can use the full blockchain.info app

Just use the blockchain.info app. Very safe and couldn't be simpler.

But you cant store Bitcoins on used toilet paper lol.


I don't think it has to even be jailbroken.

Mine isn't jailbroken and it works fine.

And you could write the keys down on used toilet paper  ;D.

lol, well you can't safely store them like that then.

Is there an app yet for smartphones where you can transfer bitcoins from one individual to another by scanning their QR code when displayed on the other person's phone? Or at some point at a retailer (perhaps one day like Starbucks)?

smartphone is android (and winphone/palm at the beginning).
so ... you have this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet

and you ALWAYS use QR-code with 'modern' phone... but you can read bitcoin adress, too (to transfer to bitcoin-QT on desktop computer).

You can do that on the blockchain.info app. I'm sure there are others too.

With jailbroken iphone you get the fully functional blockchain.info wallet.   Apple added restrictions, and some of the functionality got removed from the app store version of blockchain.info

The Blockchain.info app works great on the iPhone, even without jailbreaking it. I made a payment to someone today, and he received it nearly instantaneously.

No problem.

Did you download the app ages ago before Apple removed the previous version? What can't you do with the latest blockchain.info app that you could on the other?

No idea what everyone is talking about. The one in the app store is the one I currently have. It sends, receives, shows transactions, scans QR codes, imports paper wallets, etc.

Works for me.

Did Apple approve the Android Simulator app?

Maybe they're talking about a different app. I know Apple did remove one but it wasn't blockchain.info, but maybe you have an older version to the one that is on the current store. How long ago did you download it?

What *IS* this strange new magic you show to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????

Art thou a WITCH!?!?!?

Love,

iPhone User.


You downloaded it before they removed it from the app store.

-B-

It's still on the app store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blockchain/id493253309?mt=8

They removed one version of a app until the devs removed something to meet Apples nazi criteria.

I saw a video with a London pub taking bitcoin payments with the Blockchain.info app. Thy just use the app to scan your QR code. Easy.
