Main Features NuDroid

NuDroid is Convenient
Use your stable NuBits to pay directly to a merchant’s Bitcoin and altcoins’ addresses. It is very easy to use. NuDroid clearly shows you and the receiver how much you are paying both in NuBits and Bitcoin or real-world currency. It allows merchants to trust that the value they are receiving is accurate. NuDroid can scan QR codes from all supported coins including Bitcoin. Paying with any digital currency has never been this convenient!

NuDroid is Secure and Fast
Your wallet can be protected with a password and your cryptographic keys remain secure on your mobile device. You have full control to select your own set of peers to customize your security. We've ensured that there is a fast first-time wallet synchronization by creating a lightweight copy of the blockchain. Best of all, you only need to synchronize with the secure NuBits blockchain as opposed to multiple digital currency blockchains. This saves storage capacity on your device and increases the overall speed of NuDroid.

NuDroid is Safe
When you start using NuDroid, take care to backup the encrypted NuDroid wallet. You can automatically choose to send the backup to your email address or to store it on an USB stick. With your backup safely stored you can never lose your coins in case your device is wiped or stolen. If that happened, you would simply install the app again and restore the backup and your balance will show up again.

NuDroid is Free and Respects Your Privacy
We'll keep it simple: NuDroid is free to use. You don’t need to register for a service to use NuDroid for payments. We don’t charge you anything on top of the usual Shapeshift exchange rates for paying at a Bitcoin merchant, and you only pay the NBT fee (currently 0.01 NBT) for a NuBits transaction. Neither NuDroid nor Shapeshift collects your personal data. NuDroid is free of advertisements.

NuDroid is Versatile and Easy to Use
NuDroid can be run on all Android devices including tablets, supporting 4.x and higher. It can export your transactions to a comma delimited file for personal record-keeping. This record-keeping is made even easier because NuDroid keeps the coin addresses of all supported coins in its address book. It is easy to add a description to these addresses so you can remember what you paid for.

NuDroid is Open Source
NuDroid has nothing to hide and we are happy to share. We hope you may even contribute to improve NuDroid even further. Find the source code here (https://github.com/cybnate/NuDroid) or join the NuDroid developer chat on Gitter (https://gitter.im/Cybnate/NuDroid). Don’t trust closed source wallets!

Price stable NuBits with the mass adoption of Bitcoin. This app just makes so much sense. I hope people are using it.

any reviews from expert member here about the safety and friendly to use for noobs??

because i really love to use for any good app btc wallet for android

The NuDroid App works very similar to this basic Bitcoin wallet App (https://github.com/schildbach/bitcoin-wallet) which is around for a while and is still being developed. The concepts are the same, but we had it enhanced with the stable NuBits and seamless Shapeshift technology.

We are currently testing with some Noobs, and the main issues to date are the new concepts as QR codes and addresses. With more comprehensive NFC integration (and merchant adoption) to replace QR codes and working with aliases for bitcoin addresses, we think further improvements can be made. I'm very curious to feedback from others of what can be done without a complete overhaul of the current design.

Edit: for those interested in more NuDroid technical details and release notes: https://github.com/Cybnate/cybnate.github.io/blob/master/Android/Specs%20NuDroid.md
 

It would be better if you publish its source on github. As then people will trust it a lot more.

It has been open source from the beginning. You might have missed the published link in the last paragraph of the OP.
Here is the full link to the source again: https://github.com/cybnate/NuDroid

Hi, I've PM'ed you about something.
You must have misunderstood my last one.

Hii op

I just want to said if you need anothers noob to try this app, i reccomend ing my self to jump in.. Maybe from my noob condition on develop and using new app can make this wallet will be better or best on thefuture.. :)

Thanks for your offer will keep it in mind, have my hands full with my current noobs  ;)
But feel free to have a look at it anyway and post your feedback here.

Please check out https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/) to have a chance to earn 2 bucks for your feedback on the NuDroid App when you are a Reddit user.

All details are in the post over there.

...and watch for our hands-on videos to be released soon! Stay tuned.

NuDroid v4 is now available for testing.

All the goodies from the previous version plus the ability to use your own server instead of the default server as NuDroid backend. With that you can have increased resilience and no longer trust is required in a 3rd party back-end server such as the current default server.
One of the few mobile wallets with that ability. Until now only PC bound wallets could provide that.

Please check out the link when you are keen to participate in the testing: https://discuss.nubits.com/t/nudroid-v4-release-candidate-now-available-for-testing/2436
When all goes well the new version will be available on Google Play in 7-10 days time.

Release notes v4:

• The ability to add more than one trusted server to the App to allow users to set up their own trusted server besides the default server
• Allow prioritisation and fall-back to these trusted servers to increase resiliency of the App.

Please have a look at https://docs.nubits.com/nudroid/ (https://docs.nubits.com/nudroid/) about the Android wallet for all current functionality.

Is it similar to coinomi?

http://ph.newsbtc.com/2015/07/20/nudroid-magtago-ng-bitcoin-matulog-nang-mahimbing

NewsBTC Philippines' cover on NuDroid

Yes and no. Both use the Shapeshift integration, however the Coinomi wallet can also hold many coins (multi-wallet) and has an built-in exchange capability.

Whereas the NuDroid wallet holds only the stable value NuBits, but would seamlessly convert them to another coin only when required on payment.
It is also more feature rich with address book, export function etc. It feels more like a real wallet imo.

Do you prefer a video to provide a quick overview of what NuDroid and NuBits?
Or are you fairly new with cryptocurrencies and want to make sure your coins are safe?

Then here are two great new NuDroid videos for you:

1) The Power of NuDroid (6 minutes)
Link: https://youtu.be/E0YyRX8tnHI (https://youtu.be/E0YyRX8tnHI)
Introduction to the specific functionality of NuDroid and the stable value NuBits and using it with Bitcoins or Litecoins for those who already have a wallet or used other wallets before.

2) Getting Started with a Mobile Wallet (10 minutes)
Link: ]https://youtu.be/DYfemvz2xDU] (https://youtu.be/DYfemvz2xDU)
This video gets you started if you are fairly new to crypto currencies. We demonstrate how to get started with crypto on your Android phone and how to keep your funds safe. This video covers backing up a wallet, setting a spending pin, donating funds via the integrated ShapeShift service, and restoring a backup.

Enjoy!

Just released a minor update of the NuDroid App:

Here are the release notes for v4.4:

•     Added support for py-nugetfee and therefore Nu 2.0 dynamic transaction fees. Nu 3.0 may also be compatible
•     When restoring a wallet, show the most recent backups first.

The APK can be downloaded on: https://github.com/Cybnate/NuDroid/releases/tag/v4.4
The App will also be made available on Google Play soon.

Sounds like a good app ! What are the fees you charge for the transactions ? I hope its not more than the stable wallet charges .Does the app have transactions securly transferred without  a fast internet or on your mobile data like 2g ?

It's a great wallet but the problem is that it's not ideal for mobile data, especially if you're from the Philippines.
It downloads the entire NuBit blockchain :)

Yeah I'm experiencing the same problems .The entire point of a wallet mobile app should be if should work on the mobile data that's why we especially deploy apps on phone so it's easy to load pages and have secure transactions with less next hops in a network .

The network transaction cost is currently 0.01 NBT (US$0.01), but may be changed in the future as Shareholders can vote for a higher or lower transaction fee in the Nu network. The App doesn't charge anything. The Shapeshift service includes a fee in their exchange rate not different from their services provided via their website shapeshift.io.

NuDroid doesn't download the entire blockchain. On first start it will -verify- the entire blockchain though. This typically takes a few hours. Once the verification is complete e.g. weekly synchronisation only takes 20 minutes or so if you don't have the App running. Otherwise it will synchronise in the background, the traffic is minimal though, just the headers of each block.

how is nudroid connected to nubits chain? I'm asking because mobile data volume is very expensive where I live... does it store a blockchain?

edit: nvm question answered on page 2

If you have highly limited mobile data usage, I recommend using WiFi for the initial download if possible. The initial download uses block headers only, but you can still be looking at about ~50mb of data to download.

We just reached the milestone of more than 500 copies of NuDroid downloaded via Google Play! 8)

Get your own copy now and enjoy that you know what is in your wallet and that it won't change value overnight; But still being able to pay with Bitcoins everywhere Bitcoin is accepted.
Just remember 1 US-NBT is always 1 USD. And that is already like this for over a year!

_{Just in general for all cryptocoins:
Don't transfer more money into it than you can afford to loose.}

good to see this ... The only thing i care for is ,, security ,,, any users who have already used this can share ?

Assuming you are referring to the security of the wallet; I can mention the following:

- It is open source ( https://github.com/Cybnate/NuDroid)
- It is based on the Bitcoin wallet ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet)
- We have two trusted blockchain servers which the App defaults to and if you wish you can run your own providing the best security
- Your keys always stay on your mobile device and in your control.
- (edit) The app can be set to require a pincode for every outgoing transaction

Will try to get some users to reply as my view is biased  ;D

I used and tested it over time and I recommend it.

Congratulations for this fine piece of software!

Im downloading right now. Seems like a great system.

So it's basically you cash in your bitcoin for some credit, which is valued in us dollars, which converts to bitcoin live just before you make a transaction?


The problem is, why not simply use cash? Besides from the obvious point that people discount for bitcoin...

Ok, a bit off-topic, but I have a few facts to consider:

The first two depend a bit on which country you live in but in more and more countries you have either:
- Money printing by central bank reducing the value of your cash every day
- Negative interest rates on your bank account
- It is not that easy to open a bank account for people in some countries.

Besides the above over time assuming more acceptance of Bitcoin and NuBits it is also possible to just do without a bank account and its fees in any country. No 3rd party is required to transfer money with Bitcoin and NuBits.

A few exciting updates this time:

1) NuBits have been added back to Shapeshift.io again after the hacks they endured. This means that your NuDroid wallet can again pay seamlessly everywhere Bitcoin is accepted.

2) A significant piece of development work is underway to enhance the NuDroid App even further. The highlights of the enhancements are:

Release 1 (8 weeks duration). This includes:
> A. Skipping headers for instant sync,
> B. Adds Ethereum support through Shapeshift
> C. Adds crypto currency exchange rates on the homepage of the App
> D. Sync Nubitsj with Bitcoinj
> E. Change currency name to USNBT, before NBT. This to prepare for other pegged coins.
> F.  Addition of nuseed.nubitsexplorer.nu DNS seed. This will further improve the syncing speed

Release 2 (7 weeks duration). This includes:
> G. NuDroid's ability to also receive other coins which will be instantly converted upon arrival to USNBT.

With this latest release NuDroid will be the only wallet you will ever need for receiving end sending payments while keeping your hard earned value at all times.

Stay tuned for the release announcements!

Queries related to the NuDroid App can be posted in this thread or here: https://discuss.nubits.com/t/passed-nudroid-upgrade-v5-april-2016/3716

2 year? the owner of this project made the last post 3 years ago, the last active was over 1 year ago. Is there any reason for you to search and touch a topic half a decade ago?
As a tip, please don't touch any topic like this if it's not absolutely necessary, although I don't think you have any reason here  ::)

The coin is still alive indeed and we are working our way through the burning plan.
NuDroid needs some love and it is not recommended to use it until it had some.
