Sounds like a cool project. I would have to be open source, at least the iOS version. Apple bans Bitcoin clients from the App Store, so each person would have to use a developer account and sign their own version for their own use. Or you could put it in Cydia, but I don't prefer jail breaking myself.

Hey. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in porting the client in to node.js, and have a really nice simple rest api. Not sure how long something like this could take, also it could store multiple wallets. Like in requests, you could be like wallet=walletname. obviously this client would want to run on a local network, with a firewall and not port forwarded. Also a way to confirm the small 0.005 tx fees. like you would do wallet=Kevin&pay=ADDRESS&amount=0.01
and it would then reply with a json object, saying a fee, the app using the API would then decide to pay it and do wallet=Kevin&pay=ADDRESS&amount=0.01&allowfee=0.005
Just an idea. Would something like this be valuable to the community? I myself, would like to see this project happen. But I wouldn't want to go about it alone, and this client would be open source also.

Oh cool. I haven't messed with Java, but I have played with Node.js(Javascript) and I prefer GitHub, and maybe a Node.js implementation would be good, I prefer Node.js to Java. So maybe I or a few other people could attempt to port it to Node.js? Mostly the logic and ideas can be put in to other languages. Then post it on GitHub also. I'm not the best programmer, but want to help. Seems like a good early project to get involved with.
Also, we can use TestNet to test with a POS system, and servers. Just create fake items to buy/test. then once it works, switch over to the real network. For us without POS hardware, and can't really afford them. We should have a emulator. I might be able to build one with Node.js. A little node app someone runs, and opens up localhost on some port, then enters in some info like production, test net, and can enter in card numbers to test with, the item, price. Something really simple, just for testing. then basically the POS would run some similar software, written in like C or something guess, that uses similar code to connect to the network once it sees that it's an OpenPay card. I guess we really need a really good detail spec, before we write any code, in any languages.
Then I guess some of the early contributors can form a organization and have a board, to self regulate the project, and new ideas, etc. I guess Bitcoin is like this. You have Bitcoin itself, and the non profit "governing" it.

Would it be worth it for me to mine these? Bitcoins are so hard to Mine for my comp. How do I mine these?
Edit: No built in miner it seems. When I tried to uninstall it my antivirus went crazy... Revo uninstaller removed most of it, it looks.

I've been reading this, and I think this would be really cool. I'm not sure If I could be any help, but I'm guessing it could be a P2P network on it's own, running along side Bitcoin would be a good idea. Maybe getting our own 4 digit network ID would be helpful. I really would love to make this happen, not sure if I could be any help. I would love to learn about how to create a P2P network, I have some ideas on how they work... Don't forget to figure out some way for the POS owner to process a refund. Even though chargebacks aren't possible, refunds are still necessary.
And I'm guessing it would be like cash. If you spend cash on something at a store and you don't like it. There's no magical button to get it back, you have to tell the store and hope they help you solve it. if not, then maybe you try to sue them. But I guess in the end, It would be just like cash. That reminds me, someone was making Bitcoin physical coins or something, that you could trade offline. I guess it had the key info inside as a QR code, but you could tell if someone attempted to open it or not. Forget who.

Thanks for explaining that Foxpup. I was wondering the same, so I always just emailed the address from my Mac to the other comp I keep my wallet on. Great info to know.

I've used VirWoX to get 1 Bitcoin to play with, they only allow you to get full bit coins, no bit cents. https://www.virwox.com?r=3149 is my referral link, if you're interested in trying them.

Mine took like 20 hours. Didn't know they had pre downloaded block downloads. Will be helpful for next time I install Bitcoin, Like on my server!
