Title: HTML5 wallets and QR Code scanning on iOS Post by: enriquez on April 25, 2014, 07:18:45 PM I found a way to make QR code scanning easier for iOS users. Right now, most web wallets do QR code scanning by taking a picture and hoping that it is clear enough to scan. It can take a few tries if you don't get a good picture.
I came up with an iOS app that is simply a QR code scanner. It can be launched with a link that can specify a callback url which gets passed the qr code data after scanning. The QR Code app is called Scan Code: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scan-code-qr-code-reader/id828167977?mt=8 It works with an HTML5 wallet I've been working on called Coin Pocket: https://coinpocketapp.com Title: Re: HTML5 wallets and QR Code scanning on iOS Post by: roslinpl on April 25, 2014, 07:33:03 PM Sounds good but there is still a problem with security ... you have to use online wallet.
But it is some method for iOS sad users.

It stores the encrypted private key in the browser and it continues to work if the server goes down. I still wouldn't recommend storing a significant amount, just enough to spend with.

I am as well very happy that people figured out ways to have a btc wallet on iOS. |
