The app itself was gone? And you're sure you didn't uninstall it?

That's really weird.

exactly.  of course i didn't uninstall it. 

in fact, i downloaded it to try b/c you had just released the new version of BitcoinJ to it and MultiBit so i thought i'd better give it a try.

if you have any suggestions about how i could be a dummy please feel free to suggest but the whole thing is gone.  Sad

The app does make backups of the wallet. if you browse to /data/data/de.schildbach.wallet, there should be multiple copies of your wallet.  That data survives an app uninstall.

i had to go to the backup and click on it to discover the above solution.  my phone isn't rooted either.

i may have found the problem except i can't verify right now b/c my phone is on low power.

i didn't have a box checked that would allow me to download "unknown apps outside the Android Market".  this i find weird b/c despite that i was able to initially download app with blockchain and test it from Android Market.  once i checked box it asked me to reinstall over old install.  checked yes and app popped back up with 1 BTC in it.  thats when my power went dead.

so i think it will be ok.

I think you guys totally underestimate the desire of the marketplace to disintermediate the banks:

Seems Richard Stallman is not following bitcoin.

Who is he?

Great find and in such a public newspaper. 

So true.  It is already happening with Bitcoin at the forefront.

WARNING!!!!

installed this on my Android a couple of days ago along with 1 BTC.  tonite the 1 BTC and entire installation gone from my phone. 

everything else on the phone seems intact but i can only assume some malware took the wallet.  too bad.  was looking forward to using this; i'd heard alot about it.

lol, that's what they want you to think.



you have no idea how right you are on this one.

the Fed needs the speculators on Wall St to drive asset appreciation.  initially at the bottom of cycle, the young punk traders are more than happy to borrow from the discount window at 0.25% and jack all markets to ridiculous highs.  all the retail and pension get excited near the top and jump in, especially on a breakout like we've just had, only to be met with a selloff and shorting opportunity for the punks to fleece everyone.

they know they can't just drive the system into a hyperinflation b/c they know that will just destroy the system.

this is where we are right now.

There is data out there that QE's have diminishing effect. The game is up and deflation is upon us. All assets but cash will fall in this scenario, gold and stocks and in most countries housing are the first to the block.
My goodness, a Bitcoin bearish Vladimir? Grin Grin

i think Bitcoin surprises everyone.  look at the last few days since gold has been plummeting.  Bitcoin UP.

finally.  someone who understands.  

it'll be an all-one-market effect with USD up and everything else down.  the Fed won't be able to print fast enough and the printing that they do comes with some trepidation b/c if they destroy the USD, their only tool, they then self destruct.
you obviously don't account, in your forecast, for 200+ million of desperate and hungry people flooding the streets... and each one of them handling a gun...

this is not a soviet union of 1930s - they wont be starving quietly.

i think this vastly overstates the effect of deflation.  retail investors have largely left the speculative mkts.  the ones who stand to lose the most are the banks, hedge funds, and elitists themselves.  i also think that further sovereign debt destruction is a good thing; it will trim gov'ts down to size. 

if anything, savers stand to benefit.  yeah there will be some pain but i don't think its as bad as you think.

I agree with you that a deflationary event is coming. But do you think central banks won't react ?

the deflation will overwhelm them.  

I am with cypherdoc on this one. To compensate defaults (deflation) they are continuing to reduce bank's reserve requirements. It is effectively 0 or even negative already. The more they reduce reserve requirements the more difficult it is to fight deflation. Given that so many banks and now governments, particularly in Europe, are de facto insolvent right now, while PIIGSominoes  keep falling right on schedule, this is unsustainable. There is data out there that QE's have diminishing effect. The game is up and deflation is upon us. All assets but cash will fall in this scenario, gold and stocks and in most countries housing are the first to the block.

sorry, i just don't have the time to go thru it all but everything is in my blog and in that gold thread i referenced above.
15654  Economy / Speculation / Re: Gold collapsing. Bitcoin up. on: March 14, 2012, 08:10:08 PM
Exactly what besides housing and electronic devices has deflated??

i specialize in picking corners.  in other words, before all the linear thinkers can see it.  all the signs are here for a reversal.

get out of stocks now.
15659  Economy / Speculation / Re: Gold collapsing. Bitcoin up. on: March 14, 2012, 05:55:55 PM
do not be wedded to investment theories.  go with what the market is telling you.

its telling you deflation is about to take over.
