Bitcoin Forum

After a measure of hard work adapting the Bitcoin Wallet for Android to Quark, the standalone (no cloud or server required) version of the Quark Android Wallet beta is ready for testing.

This is a lite wallet and the blockchain doesn't take any more than 626KB on the android device.

Source code:
https://github.com/HashEngineering/quarkcoinj - Quark Java Library (for the Android App and possibly other software)
https://github.com/HashEngineering/quarkcoin-wallet - The Quark Android Wallet Source code

Links to Android App:
https://github.com/HashEngineering/quarkcoin-wallet/releases/ (view recent beta versions)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hashengineering.quarkcoin.wallet

When using this app, please back up your keys and email them to yourself!  This will save your private keys in a password protected file.  Then your coins can be retrieved even if you loose your phone.

Planned Fixes in the next Beta Release:
1.  Native support for the hash function.

It is appreciated if feedback of the following is provided:
1.  Can you receive coins? (small amounts to avoid losing them)
2.  Can you send coins?
3.  Can you scan a QR code from another phone or Paper Wallet (to send coins).
4.  Can you request coins via email or other android service?
5.  How long does it take to sync the blockchain?
6.  Does it drain out your battery after an hour?
7.  How much space does it take up on your phone?
8.  Does it calculate exchange rates properly?

If the app crashes you can send the report via email or another method if your phone allows it.  Reports of errors can also be posted in this topic.

To close the app, simply press the back button until you reach your home screen.  The app will close itself (there is no need for a disconnect option).

Known Issues:
1.  This app may use a lot of battery power while syncing the blockchain, initially.  It should use less power after the app is synced.
2.  Syncing has been slow.

I would help test, but no android!  :-\
but good job on such a big achievement!

Nice!

Adding a screenshot to the original post would be nice.

In terms of design, I think there should be a semi-transparent "ghost" image of Quark logo

This app looks great and works really well so far.

Thanks for the beta! Great work!

awesome!

Will test it when i get home. Well done!

Great work !!

just downloading now .

Downloaded it just now.

Install went without issues on Android 4.2.1

getting two peers connected from the start, so that's good (95.85.2.86 & 192.241.151.155)

Exchange rates tab doesn't work (yet?)

The Camera icon is in a weird spot on the "home" page of the wallet (see screenshot)

Syncing doesn't seem to give any issues, however, the client isn't indicating how much syncing has been done, so it's hard to tell.....

Install space of the Quark app itself is 13,34 MB

useless

fantastic - yes i noticed it calculated a weird number for the represented amount in the receive section , i'm on an older version of Android 4.0.3 (camera shows fine on this version)

will have to try it on a better connection .

awesome ! 

Can't wait for the final version

My results on Google Nexus 7 2013 (4G) - deb


1.  Can you receive coins? (small amounts to avoid losing them)
Yes
https://i.imgur.com/QsnRDrK.png
2.  Can you send coins?
Yes
https://i.imgur.com/efbhmRr.png
Its says it's still waiting because I was still syncing the blockchain

3.  Can you scan a QR code from another phone or Paper Wallet (to send coins).
Yep. send the dev and the guy who posed above me .05 QRK.
4.  Can you request coins via email or other android service?
Havent tested
5.  How long does it take to sync the blockchain?
Took about 30 minutes. Needs a lite version if possible, or the ability to turn off syncing on data!
6.  Does it drain out your battery after an hour?
Went from 100% to 88% in exactly one hour. Androind reports that the wallet app took half of that
https://i.imgur.com/x54oKPH.png
7.  How much space does it take up on your phone?
Android reports 51MB
https://i.imgur.com/2z350y4.png
8.  Does it calculate exchange rates properly?
Reports $0.0701 for USD. Sounds about right.

Needs the ability to add nodes!
There are only 2 in the app, and one is always +/- 100 blocks apart.

Sending and receiving is deathly slow compared to how fast quark is.

This app is really freaking sweet.  I have two minor problems though,

1) the app doesn't close.  I go back to the main menu, and swipe the app closed in cyanogen mod, but still see "connected nodes" in the status bar. 

2) I was able to send a payment to myself from my computer instantly, by manually typing in the phone wallet address.  I tried scanning a QR code to send a payment from bitinfocharts.com, but get the following message: "Cannot classify input: quarkcoin:Qeg5SiWkNNQXcXb3cGq5k2d8y3j4uJJH1v"

Thank you for your feedback. 

Connecting to two peers is normal.  This app does not have the robust connectivity features of the desktop client yet.  The bitcoin people will be adding that soon and when they do, I will import those changes into the Quark android wallet.

The camera icon appearing at the edge of the screen appears to be due to the sizes of the send and receive buttons.  In english these buttons take up less room due to fewer letters to display on the buttons.  I will try to see if there is a solution for this.

To see about syncing progress, go to options, then Network Monitor and scroll to Blocks if that part is not on the screen. If the last block is from 1 to 5 minutes ago, then the app is synced.

Thanks, I recieved the 0.05 QRK.


This is a lite version, but we will strive to make it lighter.  The older versions of the Bitcoin and Litecoin android wallets had options for only syncing when plugged into power.  There may be away to only have it sync when on wifi.  These are options we will be looking into, but there are reasons why some of these features were taken out of the Bitcoin Wallet.


This is another area for improvement.  The Hash function may be using much of that power and there is a way to reduce it.


Adding nodes is a function that will be added later.  Even the Bitcoin Wallet doesn't support the "addnodes=" and peers.dat features of the desktop client.

1)  If the "Connectivity Indicator" was activating, then I also had trouble closing the app using the back button.  I was able to force close it using other means (of course force closing an app is not ideal).

2)  This error is because the App was based on the Quark C++ source code where the URI for addresses is quark:Qeg5SiWkNNQXcXb3cGq5k2d8y3j4uJJH1v.  However, the bitinfocharts.com site is using quarkcoin:Qeg5SiWkNNQXcXb3cGq5k2d8y3j4uJJH1v.  I will update the code to read either type of URI.

Thank for your hard work,  8)

amazing work... should be bigger news. Thanks for this.

Is this in the Google Play store yet?  Can't find it.

No, its just released in beta right now so we can test it and give feedback...See the link in the lead post of this thread to download it..or better yet, its right here for you: https://github.com/HashEngineering/quarkcoin-wallet/releases/download/v0.1.0-beta/quark-wallet-0.1.0-beta.apk
Pull it up on your phone and it will download directly:)

Got it installed.  So far at least the sending and receiving is working very smoothly between the app on my phone and my desktop wallet.  Will keep playing with this and post some screenshots.

I tried it and so far i like it very much

testing new adress

Great. Can anybody do something for windows mobile. I have a f**king windows mobile and it just doesn't have anything.

We have looked into a windows mobile app.  Unfortunately, Microsoft may not allow such an app on their store.
http://www.reddit.com/r/windowsphone/comments/1ahavh/

although one app is on their store http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/bitcoin-wallet/6beb6013-ec4c-47e2-80c8-4b5f9dc4a307

It just doesn't seem like there are enough audience for a window phone app. It's gonna be awhile before anyone focus any attention to it. Most are focusing on android and apple.

Used to be 100000's of apps for the old WinMo 6.1 phones before they came out with "Windows Phone".  Shame...

Anyway I've been trading quarks between my phone wallet, my wife's phone wallet, my online accounts and my desktop wallet all day.  Really like it so far.  Maybe some tweaks to the UI, but so far it's great.

This update fixes several bugs with the exchange rates and URI schemes.

oh!! That sad. Windows is becoming like apple, closed for everything. This will hamper its market, as there are far lesser apps on windows and they still are choosy for it.  :-(

good news  testing

So far so good still with the app, received some Quark without any issues :)

Thanks for the tip on checking the sync btw, I just noticed some other crypto Android wallets show the snc progress on the bottom of the screen, that had me a bit confused :)

Will do an article about this over @ CryptoArticles today ^^


EDIT : article is up!

http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/2014/2/18/quark-android-wallet-beta-available-now

Check out the Quark foundation forum about this Quark Android wallet too.

http://quarkfoundation.cc/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=299

Nice one

Native support for the Quark Proof of Work has been developed for several devices.  This may speed up sync times as well as reduce battery usage.

The Java version of the Proof of Work took between 4 and 400 milliseconds to calculate (which is 2.5 to 200 hashes/second).   The native version on my phone takes about 0 to 1 ms per hash, which is about 1 KH/s or greater.

We are not sure if this will improve sync times, because network connectivity and bandwidth may become the rate limiting step here.  Sometimes the ping time with the peers is at 22 seconds!  That is outside of our control, unless we have better peers.

Native support for the hash function has been added for several devices.  Several bugs with Send and Receive Coins have been fixed.  Have fun!

great work - so does this now have a new download ?

or is it straight on the play store ?

Sorry, I forgot to include the link:  [link removed - out of date]

This should end up on the Google Play store soon.

Hash, how do we get better peers? Is there anything we can do for this?

Congratulations and THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK on this, Hash Engineering!!!
Your communication has been excellent, the app is awesome, and the Quark community is very fortunate to have found you!
I will update all my threads re: the wallet update, and please everyone check out (and tweet!) the wallet update link so we can see if there are any last minute bugs that need fixing?
Hash I am sending you a DONATION (and I hope people will join me), because 15k QRK does not amount to much yet for all the hard work you have done...May one donate to the address on the uploaded wallet image, if one were so inclined??..If so, I would like to scan and send from my new cool app  ;)
p.s. I think it is really sweet that we can now check the block explorer for transactions!!! This is awesome ;D

Better peers will come from two things:
1.  A good list that the app can have.
2.  wait until the bitcoin people get a better peer system built into their code for Java (this will happen this year, I think).

For now, the list the app uses is this:


Each line is a node.  I did a" ping" on each one and found many that didn't work and others were duplicates of each other.  The items with a // in front were found not to exist or were the same as another. However, even though the ping failed from my computer, the phone was able to connect to several of them.  If there is another list somewhere that I can use of reliable servers that are always on, that would be great (http://forum.qrk.cc/thread/267/help-wallet-internet-seed-nodes).  This is important, because I think one of the rate limiting steps of syncing the blockchain for new users is the speed of these various nodes.  If many people are using the app, the nodes may not be able to handle all the traffic and it may be slow.  Currently, I am connected to three with my phone.

In the future when the Bitcoin Java Library is updated to include support for getting other node addresses from other peers and saving them for next time, then I will be putting this functionality into the Quark Wallet.  

Once I get the list of "better" nodes, then I will publish this beta on Google Play for final beta testing.  Thanks for the QRK's; they did arrive on my phone Wallet.  I back up my keys to ensure that I don't loose my coins during testing and resetting of the blockchain.

Looking into this..

Wonderful app! Compliments to the creator of the app, QRK foundation and Coinmama who initiated all this :-)

I already gave some feedback at the QRK forum and just updated the app with the newest version.

A lot of suggestions/comments are already addressed here.

Some things I noticed:

- When you empty your app wallet and for example 500mQRK is available, you can only send 499mQRK. It seems that there should be minimal 1 mQRK left on your app which is not visible anymore.
- It would be nice if there is a button that you can select that QRK only synchronize when it is connected to WiFi.
- The exchange rate is not working for my App.
- You can turn off the background synchronization now, but it is not easy to do. Can there be just a "turn off" button, which close the QRK app completely without background running?

The feature I don't understand  is "request QRK". Can that be explained? To my opinion it is a strange request :P

1-  The app does add a 0.00010 QRK transaction fee to each amount of coins that is sent.  Therefore, if you empty your wallet, the recipient will get the entire amount less the transaction fee.  With the desktop client, it is possible to send some coins for free, if certain rules are met.  However, it is not possible for the app to know all the information to see if a transaction can be free.  The transaction fees go to the miners.
2-  I will look into a Wifi only sync feature.
3-  Not sure why the exchange rates are not working.  The app uses Cryptsy then BTER to get the information.
4.  The best way to turn off background sync is to press the back button (from some testing that I have done.  It may not work in all cases).

SilverMetal the "request" feature can be used in a number of ways!
When Quark becomes more widely acceptable for goods and services, etc...This is a nice way to invoice someone. You would fill out the requested amount, then choose the "share" icon to send the request..In that request, you could include details of the services you provided, or a quote for services to be rendered, or a product to be purchased, etc.

Also, another example.. Say your kid is at the cool movie theater down the street and they accept quarks! He requests x amount of QRK in a text to see the Matrix, part V...It starts in 30 seconds!! You get it to him just in time!!!
 ;)

Actually, now I have 2 question/comments regarding the "request coins" function:
1) Is it possible to send the QR code with the request? I couldn't do it, but this would be nice to be able to scan an email request with the phone.
2) When I test the request coins function, the message adds a ? to the QRK address...also if I "include label" with the request, it looks like this:
amount=40&label+coinmama%20QRK...Its a bit hard to decipher.. also the request was for 40 QRK, not 20QRK

Right now, I don't believe it is possible to send an email with a QR code.  Instead it is sending the Quark URI.  An example is here:

quark:QLtLcRLMCshyFisUR2e3YSSqwbR4DjdT46?amount=40&label=Hash%20Engineering

This should be readable by a Quark Client and I just activated this feature in the Quark Wallet.  If one were to click on this as a link from a browser on the phone, it would activate the App.  Not sure about other apps understanding this URI as a link.

quark:QLtLcRLMCshyFisUR2e3YSSqwbR4DjdT46?amount=40&label=Hash%20Engineering (http://quark:QLtLcRLMCshyFisUR2e3YSSqwbR4DjdT46?amount=40&label=Hash%20Engineering) <-- this is a link

In your example, the amount was 40, but your label was "coinmama QRK", which is translated as "coinmama%20QRK"  The %20 represents a space ' ' in a URI, which should not contain spaces.

Basically this request is not meant to be readable by people so much as usable by another Quark program that can read it and do something with it. 

That's a pretty cool feature. Keep up the good work.

Here is the latest update:
https://github.com/HashEngineering/quarkcoin-wallet/releases/download/v0.1.4-beta/quark-wallet-0.1.4-beta.apk

Fixes include URI schemes.

quark:QLtLcRLMCshyFisUR2e3YSSqwbR4DjdT46?amount=40&label=Hash%20Engineering (http://quark:QLtLcRLMCshyFisUR2e3YSSqwbR4DjdT46?amount=40&label=Hash%20Engineering) - if you click this link on your phone with the Quark app, it will load the send coins screen with my address and the amount of 40 QRK.

Edit:  The above link will not activate the Quark app.  This was found out at a later time.    There is a link on this page that will work:  http://www.hashengineeringsolutions.com/quark/

Thanks HashEngineering for your clear answers, and great work you have done by creation of this app!


Coinmama, this is just what I was afraid of.
My wife shopping for shoes, my children to the movies all requesting for my QRKs. Then I will end with zero QRKs before the end of the month :P
I will remove this feature from their wallets. lol

Hmm..I don't seem to be having any luck with this at the moment...When I click the above URI from my phone, I get "webpage not available"..
Also, when I perform a send request to gmail or through my android messaging app, it does not come through as a URI..
Anyone else having better results?

Actually the link on this thread does not work because bitcointalk.org puts an http:// in front of it.  But I also noticed that neither my Samsung browser nor the Chrome browser will start the Quark app if I put this text into their address bars.  However, if I put a link into the page at: http://www.hashengineeringsolutions.com/quark/, the first link in this page will open the app.

The "link" does not work in email's or texts, because the Texting and email programs (Gmail) do not recognize it as a URI.  Many other apps may not either.  This feature doesn't work too well, except for generating QR codes that can be scanned while on the phone.

Hi! I love the work that has been done for the mobile wallet, but there is something odd about my wallet. It says that I have 88qrk, but if I try to send it anywhere, it says that my mobile wallet is "missing" those quarks. Then it says that (QRK 88.91 waiting for confirmation), even though the coins were sent a week ago. Is there any way I could get a real hold of these coins? thanks.

Hash, I saw this on the official QRK thread, hope it helps?:

Last week (16FEB) I send 0.7 QRK to my Android Wallet.
When I look to the block explorer it indicates the following:

Send 999.9 QRK

When I click on the 999.9 QRK, it indicates that 0.7 QRK is send to my android wallet and 999.2 QRK to the following address: Qf5NfxzS4e7ymMMtw9BDNp85PUKro84yHX

That address is unknown for me.

According to the block explorer there is 999.2 QRK less in my wallet, than according to the paper wallet.
When I check the balance of Qf5NfxzS4e7ymMMtw9BDNp85PUKro84yHX this is 999.2 QRK.

What happened and can this be explained?

It sounds like you accidentally set up a transaction fee on your desktop wallet. It's also possible that you downloaded something and someone is trying to steal your Quarks.

- I have no idea how to set up transaction fees on my desktop wallet. I have done transactions later but then there was no 999.2 QRK send. I have still one of the first versions of the wallet (the one available in December 2013)
 
Which balance is the correct one. The explorer balance or the desktop wallet ballance? The desktop wallet balance does not indicate that there is 999.2 QRK gone or send. If someone tried to steal my Quarks did he succeed? My wallet is encrypted. How can I restore the 999.2 Quarks, or cancel the sending?

The explorer indicates :"not yet redeemed" after one week

Yes, this can be explained, but it has nothing to do with the Android wallet.  It is normal behavior and happens all the time for every coin.  I looked up the address that you mentioned and it is part of a transaction from February 16.


A transaction has inputs and outputs.  The inputs will list the andress(es) of where the coins are coming from, and how many coins are being sent.  The outputs will list the addresses where the coins are going to and how many coins are being received.

You wanted to send 0.7 QRK to your phone.  Your desktop client looked at the coins it had available (which was in this address: QZ7Lgj6eccCUKECbP855vDd8g1HyS7q5Ya).  The client then looked at the coins available in that address:  999.9, 4999.9 and 4854.9.  The client chose the amount of coins most closest to the 0.7 that you wanted to send.  Therefore client makes a transaction to send 999.9 QRK.  0.7 QRK go to the Android Wallet address and 999.2 are returned to a newly created QRK address Qf5NfxzS4e7ymMMtw9BDNp85PUKro84yHX, which is then stored in the desktop client's wallet file.  Now your wallet has two addresses in it.  One is QZ7Lgj6eccCUKECbP855vDd8g1HyS7q5Ya, which is the address to which you recieved the 999.9 QRK (but now has a balance 999.9 less than it did before).  The other address now stored in the wallet is Qf5NfxzS4e7ymMMtw9BDNp85PUKro84yHX and it has a balance of 999.2



Which balance is the correct one?  The block explorer or the desktop wallet balance? The answer is both are correct.  Your desktop wallet balance does not indicate that there is 999.2 gone or sent, because it was returned to your wallet using a different QRK address.  Your Quark Wallet contains many addresses.  The block explorer only displays the amount of coins for a single address, so it reads as being 999.9 lower than it was on February 15.

This is not a matter of setting your default transaction fee.  No one has stolen your coins.  It is how Quark, Bitcoin and other coins are set up.  It is similar to making change for a $20 bill.  The person that you buy the bottle of water from will take your $20 bill and return to you $15 at the State Fair.

The coins in Qf5NfxzS4e7ymMMtw9BDNp85PUKro84yHX (999.2) say not redeemed because you have not spent them yet, but they are still yours.

This sounds like you have a transaction stuck.  It will be necessary to reset your blockchain by going to the Menu and then Settings, then Reset Blockchain.  This may take 1 hour or less, but once the app syncs the blockchain, it will realize that the app never sent those coins and will give them back to you to send again.  This probably happened to you due to a network connectivity problem.  Try sending using the latest version of the app in the OP of this topic.

Thanks for this peer.  I am trying it out now.

Hash Engineering gave an excellent explanation on this- More can also be found on a thread started by Tigger over at the Quark Forum:
Here is a quote:
"Hidden Addresses and Send Transactions
When you first install a new wallet, it comes with a pool of 100 pre-defined addresses. Initially, only one address will be shown when you click on the “Receive” button, but the other 99 addresses are indeed there, but they are hidden in your address pool. If you are on the “Receive” screen and you click on “New Address”, your wallet will grab one from the pool and display it on your screen. Now you see two addresses and you have 98 left in the pool.

However, when you Send coins to another address, in order to make your transaction somewhat anonymous and not broadcast your entire wallet balance to the world, extra transactions are generated on the block chain using some of your hidden addresses. The following, is a simplified example of what happens when you issue a Send transaction:

The amount of coins you are sending are deducted from your current balance and sent to the address you specified and your remaining balance is automatically sent back to one of your “hidden” addresses from the pool. For example, let’s say you are someone named Sam and you only have one wallet receive address the you labeled “Sam1” and you have 5000 coins. You want to send 200 coins to your friend Sally, whose address is “XYZ”. 200 coins are sent to address “XYZ” and the remaining 4800 coins are sent back to one of your hidden pool addresses. Your wallet shows the correct balance of 4800 coins and you still only see the “Sam1” address on your receive screen, but the 4800 coins are actually in a hidden address that is associated or “grouped” with your “Sam1” address.

                             ||===>200 XYZ
5000 Sam1=====>   ||
                             ||===>4800 HiddenAddressFromPool(Sam1)

Clear as mud, right? Not to worry - this is not an issue under normal circumstances and you can easily display all of the addresses that were automatically pulled from the pool and grouped with your “visible” addresses. "

More valuable information in this excellent post by Tigger here: http://forum.qrk.cc/post/17320
(He put a lot of work into this research after also initially becoming alarmed that it looked like coins were missing or misplaced-It is a great tutorial on the workings of the desktop wallet!!)

SilverMetal, let your family spend your Quarks, it will give you joy!!  :D

I downloaded the new version its fixed a lot of the little bugs I had .

But I'm on an old version of android 4.0.1

When I went to restore the keys it force closed a few times trying to reset the BC .

But everything is sweet now , my balance shows as Quark not mQrk now.

Awesome stay in touch !

When restoring keys, the app will reset the Blockchain.  This app should be compatible with Android 2.3.3 and above.

Google Play is coming soon, perhaps 1 to 2 days.

Great drop me an email ! I have a few basic questions to ask you .
: )

Just popping on here for a sec to request that every Mobile Wallet holder please use your scan and send function to donate whatever you can to our latest non-profit to accept Quark, Erowid.org--We requested that they accept Quark, and asked them to post their QR, and they did! They are a highly rated non-profit, and this is how we spread the word and build more infrastructure everyone! http://www.erowid.org/donations/donations_cryptocurrency.php
Thanks, I will be posting a new thread on the Reddit about this:)
UPDATE: Here is the Reddit post, please see important comments also :)
http://www.reddit.com/r/QuarkCoin/comments/1yuvas/mobile_wallet_holders_please_use_your_wallets_to/

What is the preferred block explorer?

blockr.io?
quarkexplorer.com? - this one does not seem to properly display nicely on mobile devices.
another?

qrk.blockr.io is preferable as quarkexplorer.com has not implemented search by address as yet!

also there is: http://bitinfocharts.com/quarkcoin/
I don't know which would be most preferable to display on the mobile wallet though..

New update to the Beta:

Changes Block Explorer to Blockr.io.  Also adds one peer.

https://github.com/HashEngineering/quarkcoin-wallet/releases/download/v0.1.5-beta/quark-wallet-0.1.5-beta.apk

This app will be available on Google Play soon.

Hashengineer and Coinmama,
Thank you so much for the clarification of the desktop wallet. I was so relieved that my coins were not lost last week :)

I have downloaded the newest version of the app.
For me there are no differences compared to the earlier versions. (I don't see any difference with the blockexplorer or something as mentioned above, that is probably too technical for me :P)

- The feature with the exchange sites is still not working with my app.
- Probably it is me, but I try to request QRK from my own desktop wallet, but I have no idea how I can do that? I can only type a requested amount but no address? The only address I can select is my own app wallet address. I probably do something wrong here, and I need some extra explanation how to do that.

I showed the app to some friends and family, so they get an idea what QRK is. Hopefully it will be in the playstore soon, so that they can download the wallet as well and I can send them some QRK.

In the desktop wallet, there is not an easy way to request quarks from someone else, other can copy and paste an address into an email.  The Quark desktop wallet does not have a "Show QR code" function.  If it did, one could scan that code with a phone app and send coins over.

I am not sure why the exchange rates are not working, let me see if I can find a bug.

You could look up the receiving wallet address http://qrk.blockr.io/ (http://qrk.blockr.io/) and then scan with the phone app. No?

Is this app available in multi-languages? Or is the phone itself doing the translating?

The app is available in multiple languages because Andreas Schildbach has the Bitcoin-Wallet text translated to many languages.  In the Quark Wallet, all references to Bitcoin and BTC were replaced with Quark and QRK.  Some translations such as Chinese will still say Bitcoin.

One thing that would help is for the Quark desktop client to have QR code support added.  The Bitcoin and Litecoin desktop wallets have this feature as well as many other coins.  The feature is part of the source code that Quark most likely has already.  It needs to be activated when compiled and it will be available.

Yes, this is possible.  However, it is not as simple as I would like it to be with the desktop client.

Any idea when the finished version comes out?

Hmmm..is there anyway for this to get corrected?
And I agree that we should have that show QR code feature( I edited my post because it looked like I was saying something else).
I will bring it up to the "powers that be".

The Quark wallet should be finished in the next few weeks.


The translation of Bitcoin in chinese is known (比特币).  What is the translation for Quark?  That is what we need to fix it.

Im not sure what happened Quark Check! There was nothing on your post, lol..However, Quark Check was kind enough to p.m. me with the answer in addition to the post here, so hopefully it comes up this time..Here goes!
Quark=  夸克币

I love the way those characters look btw...Would it be going too far to get it in a tattoo?!  :D :o

I have replaced the Chinese Bitcoin for Quark.  Working on the splash screen and app appearance.  A new beta version can be released soon.

Excellent thank you :)

I Believe Quark is 夸克    The last character 币 is Money - Currency - Coin.
The community has I believe has dropped the use of the Coin suffix.
You may wish to consider this?

Good call, something to consider changing

Thank you very much again Promethium, yes! Hash, can we please remove that last character? Apologies, I asked for the Chinese translation of Quark.

P.S.Curious as to why is Reddit page still calling it Quarkcoin? Its a little  bit of mixed messaging.

This is what I read for Quark in Chinese:

夸克 (suggested by Promethium)

夸克币 (quarkcoin)

Can anyone else verify that the first one is correct for Quark?

I am pleased to announce that this app is now on Google Play!!: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hashengineering.quarkcoin.wallet (Make sure to leave a great Google Play review!)

Thank you Hash Engineering!!! (If you love this app, please scan/send Hash a little Qrk love!! :D )
Also, thanks to MJB Monetary Metals and Quark FX for assist with the color design:)

**Please also continue to report bugs/comments/suggestions here on this thread. Thank you.

There are over 150 installs of this app on Google Play.

this will be a good app for qrk for sure.

Any idea when the final version will be out?

The final version could be done within the next few weeks.  It depends on feedback from the next beta release which should be ready in a few days.

I think hashengineering has done an awesome job here, id love to see a lite multi wallet similar to the java one made, I'm sure everyone wouldn't mind a small fee structure, in fact for me i wouldn't mind a small fee built into this mobile wallet if it ensured continued support and development from Hash.

: )

that's just my opinion.

Do you mean a wallet like Multibit?  If that is the case, then half of code for it is written since it is a part of the Android app.  I thought about working on a lite wallet project in the future if there was a need for one.

As far as a fee structure, though it would be for my benefit, I am not sure I like the idea.  Currently, transactions from the app do add a fee (for the Quark miners) which is not clearly documented or stated before or after the transaction is sent.  The Litecoin Dev team added a fee notification in their version, which I would like to add in the future.

I like the idea of a multibit wallet - i certainly don't mind if there is a fee that goes to yourself as the dev of that , i nearly downloaded the other but, just , can't bring myself to load Java  ( and probably never will)

a full open system will compete nicely, and this is capitalism you should be paid a fair price as long as all participants understand the fee structure. and its not excessive of course.

just my opinion.

anyhow great work.

A Litewallet would be sweet

Version 0.1.7 (which fixes many bugs) has been released on Google Play.

It can also be downloaded here:
https://github.com/HashEngineering/quarkcoin-wallet/releases/download/v0.1.7-beta/quark-wallet-0.1.7-beta.apk

The next release should have many more enhancements as far as user friendlyness!

New splash screen, these splash screens will have the same design as on the new wallet releases for mac/windows.
They also use the new Brand guide.
