Title: [ANN] A simple iOS app to help you track your bitcoin addresses
Post by: bg002h on July 10, 2012, 01:28:23 AM
Hello all. I suspect I'm not alone in that I have several offline bitcoin addresses. I have a smattering of Casascius coins, PrintCoins, BitBills, a vanitygen address, etc. I found it to be such a pain to keep track of what I had and how much it was all worth at the current market rate. 

Well, now there's an iOS app for that. It is rather simple, but it works for me and it's dirt cheap!  My app is called myBitcoins and it's up on the AppStore:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mybitcoins/id539677499?ls=1&mt=8 (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mybitcoins/id539677499?ls=1&mt=8)

Now, some of you may be thinking, "Why did he name it myBitcoins?" The answer is simple -- I wrote it to keep track of my bitcoins. As I'm sure many of you know, there was a scandal where someone (afaik no one knows who) running a bitcoin web bank called mybitcoin.com who got people to hand over their money (BTC) for safe keeping....and...well....the rest is history. It's sad people lost their money, but it's time to reclaim the name. My app has nothing to do with the mybitcoin.com fiasco...and I'm a real person...not too tough to find should issues come up.

I just bought it.

Pretty neat so far.

Sweet.  It's not an amazing app or anything, but, I'm a resident physician (who's wife just had their third girl 1 week ago today) with limited time and skills...but hey, it works :)

If anyone was wondering what ever happened to this app, well, it's back.  You have to pay Apple $100 / year to keep apps in the app store.  Seeing as I hadn't made enough money from the app to cover the fee, I let it go.  Anyhow, I paid again to get access to iOS 7, so , it's back up.  Warning though, if you set the local settings to be anything but the US, it doesn't handle the localization correctly.  I'm not sure when I'll get around to fixing it!

Good job on getting this started. I am glad Apple did not reject this app.

It does seem to be useful. Isn't it a challenge to track your bitcoin address for each one you own?
