As states, enable expert mode and make sure "aggregated mode" is checked.

right now, you can start the "cold storage spend wizard" and scan a private key without importing it. then you can go to "enter amount" where you see its balance. but - It is a good idea to show the more key info in the "cold storage spending", for example what bitcoin address it corresponds to.

version 1.0 rc7 has been pushed to the playstore. right now you need to take part in the beta test to use it.


new features include:

updated UI to the current Android guidelines.
Backup verification (important, do it!)
two-factor backups

tons of small improvements

YES.
We will support that, BUT be warned, BIP38 generation takes a huge amount of memory and cpu time. one spend can take as long as 5 minutes.

in order to make that more smooth, Jan developed a slightly relaxed scheme of encrypted wallet that will become the default export format (2-factor, with fixed-length)

for moer details, see our beta group on google+

we just started it and we are using it a lot for development. you can expect that we will not turn it off deliberately until further notice.

the uptime will be significantly worse and maybe even cut off backwards compatibility, because we sometimes try out things that turn out to be a bad idea. so you need to keep your installation of testnet really up to date and don't be confused if it does not work sometimes..

the question is what exactly do you want to hide.

if you want to hide the info what exactly you are joining, this is already provided by using SSL with hardcoded fingerprints.

if you want to obfuscate your IP when talking to the Mycelium server so we can no longer "connect the dots", yes then you need tor. we already have socks proxy support so you can install Orbot and run Mycelium over it. so this is mostly covered.

additionally the connection is SSL anyways, so not even an exit node can look into the data.
if you want to hide the fact that you are using Bitcoin/Mycelium - an exit node would have evidence that you are using Mycelium wallet. to make that more private, we would need to run a tor hidden service too, to provide the best possible privacy.

i think it is an excellent idea. and the idea works even better if it is the default mode of operation. the question where to get the resources for implementing this.

in practice, i have noticed all mycelium wallet transactions were included in the next block with the suggested fee of 0.1 mBTC - do you have any txid where this was not the case?

"localhost:9050" or "127.0.0.1:9050" both are possible, but i would prefer the localhost variant.

the easiest way to validate this is to run an app like "OS monitor" that shows all active sockets. you should be able to identify the mycelium process and to what IP it connects. if connected through orbot, it should show

of course, have a look at the source code, too. everything is published on github for a reason

and yes, we could also run a tor hidden service but we are not there yet

hi. you are posting in the wrong forum. this forum is for the Bitcoin Wallet of Andreas Schildbach. I am assuming you are trying to recover the keys recently used in Mycelium.

Nevertheless there are two primary ways to recover your bitcoins, if you have lost access to your mycelium wallet

1) restore the backup of the private key that you made using the mycelium wallet somewhere else. you did make a backup, right?

or
 
2) gain root access to your phone. then log in the phone using your desktop with

"adb shell" - this loggs you into the phone

"cat /data/data/com.mycelium.wallet/shared_prefs/data.xml" this prints the stored keys. you can chose to import this to another myceliuim wallet or import the key somewhere else.

in this you see the address followed by "|" and a hex number. followed by | and another hex number which is the private key.

alternatively, pay for a service that extracts the content of your phone directly from the flash memory. this might be quite expensive, but if 1+2 fail, this is still an option. this will not work if your phone is fully encrypted with your lock screen password.

right now it choses one of the originating addresses for change.

this is to avoid having to backup new keys just because you are sending something. in the future this might change significantly, tough.

i know that the qr code size is not consistent across phones. we should find a more generic solution here.
but in order to verify the fix i need to reproduce it first - which model are you on?

apparently, running minepeon now completely killed my SD card. i don't have any hard proof, but i suspect it was constantly writing to the card.

i think you need to be logged in with your google account that you used to join the g+ community in order to get that page working. also, group join requests are approved manually at the moment.

Miniscule ... i am still waiting for my 10 btc

Good news everyone!

We have launched a new testnet release, where people will can try out new early builds without even touching the real bitcoins. Testnet releases are a completely seperate app, signed with a different key, but built largely from the same source. Of couse it connects to the current testnet3.

to get in, you need to do three things:

1) join the Mycelium Beta testers group at https://plus.google.com/communities/102264813364583686576

2) enable taking part of the beta test at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mycelium.testnetwallet

3) install the app via the WEB version of the play store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycelium.testnetwallet  using your PC. do not attempt to search it directly via the play store app - since the play store does not list beta-only apps yet.

we will also publish the sources along with the next prodnet release. maybe this testnet release will increase the github push frequency, too.


some changes compared to the main release:

maybe it is time to start up a new PKI cartel, specifically for bitcoin applications. bitcoin wallet apps could ship their own version of the root certs.

there have been some reports of a handful of OutOfMemoryExceptions happening. if someone is affected please post any context. (number of private keys, numer of transactions, addresses, size of the address book etc.)

i have not been able to reproduce this problem yet.

congratulations!

this is a much needed service, especially in Europe. I will forward some of the requests for integration to you

we have a great german podcast at bitcoinupdate.com
if you are into bitcoin and speak german, you should listen to us next episode is expected to come on air monday morning.

Thanks for your support

Don't worry about the UI falling behind. We do have grand plans to overhaul it.
If you have any specific suggestions or something is bugging you, please don't hesitate to post here or write to developers@mycelium.com


if you want to see the early beta builds you need to join the google group AND activate beta builds at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mycelium.wallet
