Bitcoin Forum

Hi everyone im very new to the forum, but i been working with bitcoins for about 5 months now, in that time i have created an app that only my friends and my self currently use and i would like to make it public. The main point of the the app is to have an online wallet available at any time, where you can send and receive payments from your browser or mobile devices.

I know that trust is one of the main things when providing this type of services, so my question really is. What would you as a bitcoin lover would want new, base on features and security. To feel safe using an online wallet.

And if your in Miami lets go have a beer.

the online wallet options out there each has things going for it and other things that detract.

only a couple are truly simple to use.  strongcoin is probably the closest.  but its 1% fees are too high, imo.  that's why people are still using mt. gox even just as an online wallet (no fees).

bitcoins stored (securely) by the wallet provider would be ok -- as i keep offline, paper wallets for any amounts of significance.

would be smart to support many different languages.

email notification of incoming transactions (and optionally for outgoing payments as well) would be nice.

The plan that i would like to follow is to implement 0% fees, where a user can move as many btc as they please, as for the security i have taken every step i can to maintaing everything lock down, i mean overstep as my field of studies is security. And as of now i have english and spanish but love to support many more. and notifications is something im working o now, both email and sms using twilio.

I think Bitventory has the best security for an online wallet:

I recommend including its safeguards.

Thank you I'll be looking into it

I think Strongcoin and Blockchain.info wallets are very convenient and have good security. With Strongcoin the problem is the fees, which are much higher than the fees in the Blockchain.info wallet. I've used both though and can recommend them, especially the latter.

Next week where opening for beta tester, a max of 100 users will be allow to join the service and test things out.

Question: android or iphone app first ??

Small update.

I have everything running on tet servers, if you want to take a look, just go to http://bitsutoa.com
I should add that everything is running on tesnet and on dev servers, when we open for beta testing everything will de deleted and move the deployment servers for stability and security.

If you dont like something, or have feedbacks please let me know.  thank you

Can you explain a bit on the implementation? Is this "just" a bitcoind frontend with bitcoind running on your server? Or is the concept similar to blockchain.info or strongcoin?

I think Apple will reject an online wallet app. They've rejected bitcoin clients before:

Regarding the security.
Only safe online wallet is wallet which does not store any bitcoins (private keys).

Dynamic horizontal resizing would be fine. It looks bad on 800x480

(or two site designs - one for desktop / tablet, one for smartphone)

Ill try to explain this as best as i can, my brother was the one who did the encryption side.
To what he has explain me is, your password is the key to decode the file contains your information.

The main app is base on ruby running out of Heroku (at the moment test is running on amazon ec2 and volume drive), bitcoind is running on a cloud cluster made up of 10 ec2 instances lock down for security, theres a nightly backup to an intence that is only turn on when the backup request is issue and then its turn off.

for android im thinking native app, and for iphone more of a web app.

i have generated over 10K bitcoins for testing, does anyone know where i can send them for other developers to use

officially testnet beta is online. if you need coins to test just reply with your address, and please leave feedback, what dont you like, what would you like to see. 


Thanks
