Announcing the bop Wallet

bop is a lightweight Android client that trusts a BOP Server to retrieve balances, it however stores the private key controlling the funds only on the device. The private key is never transmitted to the Server, transactions are compiled and signed on the device. bop in this early version is derived from BitcoinSpinner and uses BCCAPI. Credits to jan for this great work. I gradually rewrite both the client and API code to further enhance usability and performance.

Features (in addition to what you would expect from a Wallet):

1. Switch between BTC, mBTC, XBT (=uBTC) on the fly.

2. HD Wallet using BIP32 that enables it to use unique change address for every transaction. As change position is random and address is not recurring this wallet gives highest privacy while there is no need to regularly backup the wallet since all keys used stem from the same BIP32 master.

3. Backup and Restore by export and import of BIP32 private key.

4. Scan an address QR code and get the balance for that address.

5. Scan a private key to sweep all balances it controls to the BIP32 master in the device.
 
6. Scan an encrypted private key (BIP38) to to sweep all balances it controls to the BIP32 master in the device.

7. Integration with the BOP Merchant Bitcoin Server

.... and more to come.

At the moment I am looking for beta tester who would install the built Android package and provide feedback. This will be a commercial product with attractive pricing for the unparalleled usability in your hand. Please contact support@bitsofproof.com for an evaluation access. Evaluators will receive an attractive offer (to be worked out) of the release. Evaluation starts with 21. July 2013.

Enhancement suggestions welcome.
