Title: Google working on a Java Bitcoin client? Could be big? Post by: MaGNeT on July 07, 2011, 09:27:08 PM Today I found this.
Maybe some of you knew it already but I didn't... I find it interesting to know that a part of Google is working on this project! Google can turn things into gold, just by touching it ;) http://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/ Title: Re: Google working on a Java Bitcoin client? Could be big? Post by: saqwe on July 07, 2011, 09:34:20 PM it's not google working on it
they just host the code recently there was a onlyonetv-show with the swiss founder about bitcoinj and its implementation webcoin Title: Re: Google working on a Java Bitcoin client? Could be big?

So it's not just code hosting. Title: Re: Google working on a Java Bitcoin client? Could be big? Post by: Tasty Champa on July 08, 2011, 03:32:34 AM when does the line get crossed?
When do we "cease" to be Google? Title: Re: Google working on a Java Bitcoin client? Could be big? Post by: jimbobway on July 08, 2011, 04:04:17 AM The bitcoin android app released yesterday is based on bitcoinj. They were both created by Google developers.

So it just happen that one of them like Bitcoins and start developing the client on his own. Title: Re: Google working on a Java Bitcoin client? Could be big? Post by: relmeas on July 08, 2011, 05:24:26 AM this is hilarious. storing bitcoin wallet on android where any app can steal it.

Post by: Eri on July 08, 2011, 08:42:36 AM I could vary likely be wrong, but I'm thinking android apps do have a place they can put data that is just for them. there are seemingly allot of risks involved but id certainly hope that if such were possible the dev making it wouldn't be that dumb. I think we need a expert programmer for android apps to give a answer on this.

Data saved to the internal phone memory is restricted to that particular app and cannot be accessed by other apps (barring exploits, root access, etc.). Data saved to the SD card can be accessed by anyone. Title: Re: Google working on a Java Bitcoin client? Could be big? Post by: just_someguy on July 08, 2011, 01:25:39 PM A wallet interface that supports encryption is being developed for bitcoinj as we speak.
When it is finished it will support use cases like two factor authentication and per account encryption. |
