Title: Bitcoin wallet client for Nokia N900 Post by: film2240 on December 28, 2011, 10:49:50 AM I'm looking for a bitcoin client that just has a wallet feature with send/recieve feature for the Nokia N900 phone as I wish to be able to continue doing business with BTC while the laptop will be serviced later today.

You can always use online wallet services just with your browser...

I never did on mine but I know a few people that have done that.

But no, I haven't heard of any such build, though I would also like to see it. And there is indeed a working bitcoind - it can send and receive. The only problem you might have is with the power consumption. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=66756 Title: Re: Bitcoin wallet client for Nokia N900 Post by: Jan on December 29, 2011, 10:11:02 PM I'm looking for a bitcoin client that just has a wallet feature with send/recieve feature for the Nokia N900 phone as I wish to be able to continue doing business with BTC while the laptop will be serviced later today. Can you run Java apps on the N900? In that case I encourage a N900 dev to make a light-weight client using BCCAPI. If you are familiar with making a UI for the N900 it will be a swift task.

Afterwards though, it worked like a charm. I'm sure with the new improvements on chain downloading, it should run better, assuming you can build it. Either way, it doesn't make much sense to run bitcoind on an N900, even though it's pretty cool and I keep my installation just in case. As a GUI, something like Spesmilo should theoretically work out of the box (never tried myself). Then again, I would prefer connecting to my bitcoind at home rather than running it on the phone. |
