Title: bitcoin wallet and google glass?
Post by: nitehawk on February 07, 2014, 08:50:22 AM
Is anyone working on a wallet port for google glass..  with the integrated camera you would think it would be rather easy to send and receive BTC VIA qr code or OCR

I have Glass and I was looking into developing something like that, but there is currently a problem of trust:
There are two kinds of applications for the Glass
- Server-driven applications: that means your wallet is located "in the cloud" and you'd have to trust the cloud server with your wallet
- Client-side applications using SDK: the only way to install them is at the moment sideload the APK, there is no store.
So the question is: would you trust APK developed by someone else ? Would you trust the cloud ?

This is a really interesting gadget idea. Where is Mike Hearn ?

It wouldn't be too hard to code this up using blockchain.info's APIs to drive the wallet.  I have slideware for the UI, just haven't had time to implement yet.  What kind of interest is out there?

from my prev xperience I can tell u .... DO NOT rely on blockchain.info API. Run uR own Bitcoin daemon in the cloud and use that data.
