Apologies if this has been asked, but any plans on an iOS version?
Already been asked, but I will answer again.

No, there are no plans for an ios version. I currently am not capable (I neither have the knowledge, money, nor a mac) of writing ios apps.

Check the list of wallets on Bitcoin.org, but don't use any web wallets. Most web wallets (like coinbase) don't give you control of the private keys so you don't actually have control of the Bitcoin. Even though blockchain.info doesn't have control of your private keys, their service generally sucks and they have had many mistakes and mishaps that really shouldn't have happened.

I would recommend using Electrum if you are ok with less security and using SPV. This is if you want to trade security for speed.

If you want something secure, use Bitcoin Armory. I find it to be easy to use and quite secure, the only issue is that it takes ages to load.

For a lot of security, use a hardware wallet like a trezor.

You can (and should) keep some bitcoin in cold storage on a paper wallet which is the most secure option.

Nice Idea but i would like to point out something that i noticed from screenshots..
The login page is custom build and many people (including me) can't just trust some page and enter the login information..I know you have provided the source code but still i advice you to alteast make users login directly to original page at bitcointalk.org in your app and then redirect them to your custom app pages for other purposes..This will make your app look more awesome and genuine Wink
I know that is a concern, which is why I made it open source. Even so, logging into the original page on bitcointalk probably won't work too well and it would still have the same issues with logging in through the login firm in the app. After all, it would still go through the app and that opens it up to attack by the coder.

 What I will be trying to do is actually deterministic builds, just like what bitcoin core does. That way you can verify that the binary was built from the source I punished. Unfortunately there is no easy way to do deterministic builds for Android yet, but I will be working on that. The guardian project (Android tor apps)  managed to do it so I will try to mimic them.

Have you done a hardware diagnostic? Bitcoin core is very hardware intensive and constant crashing of the software might indicate that you have bad or failing hardware.
9005  Other / Meta / Re: im disagree with trust!! on: September 30, 2015, 04:16:10 AM
You have already made a thread about this here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1184818.0. As explained in that thread, there is no proof that you were hacked and didn't fake it. If you can prove that your account was hacked (which you have not done so) then they will probably remove the red trust. If you actually were hacked, I suggest you do what people have suggested (signed message with old posted address) and ask theymos or badbear to check the logs to prove that your account was hacked.

My accuracy is 80%
It was around 60 a week or so ago
And how many posts have you reported?
*You have a chance really close to zero of being a moderator

Judging from the fact that it apparently jumped 20% in "a week or so", I'd say it's probably a small amount. Maybe 20ish?
almost 50
That is most certainly not enough. I have reported 100 something posted so far with 96%accuracy and I'm not a moderator. You will need to report more posts and with very high accuracy before being promoted to moderator. There also needs to be a section that needs a moderator for anyone to be promoted.
9008  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi is back ? on: September 30, 2015, 03:58:49 AM
I don't think satoshi will go back to bitcoin, and I heard that He has lost his private key, so how could he move his fund if he doesn't have his own private key. The last thing is we don't know who is the real satoshi.
No one but satoshi knows for certain what happened to him. No one knows whether he actually lost his private keys. Anything regarding who and what happened to satoshi is pure speculation that will get nowhere.

9009  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Easy setup and use Coinjoin or Darkwallet on: September 30, 2015, 01:53:38 AM
Another coinjoin you could look at is JoinMarket. The thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=919116.msg10096563 I haven't used it myself, but it seems like it may be difficult to use. However, it does use CoinJoin and supposedly works well.
9010  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Bitcoin API accept+automatic payment system without max. req. limits? on: September 30, 2015, 01:46:26 AM
There are many other apis that you can use that might have higher limits. Most of these you can also request to have higher limits. The ones I know of are blockcypher, blocktrail, and blockr.
9011  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANN] Bitcointalk Android app on: September 29, 2015, 04:06:22 PM

Are you planning on making a version for iOS?
No, I don't know how to write ios apps

No o.O.

ALL transaction regarding the funds from the blocks after the fork will be invalidated. The destroyed fork will have all those transaction simply not exist in the final block chain.

I'm not talking about the nitpicky stuff. Or special circumstance.

You just can't have two people both get the 25BTC+TXfee per block. The end.

I don't know if i'm not explaining what i'm trying to say or something? Both fork will find the same blocks #, but there can only be one instance in the end. And whoever is in the destroyed fork will have no BTC from them after the merge. This also include the tx fee, the transaction, everything.
Yes, I understand what you are saying. The coinbase transactions and all of the following transactions in one fork can not exist when the forks combine.

Sure but what i'm saying has nothing to do with coinbase per see. All transactions to and from coinbase would also get hit just like all non coinbase transaction as well. And coinbase would actually be less catastrophic internally because internal transaction doesn't go through the blockchain.

But regardless, even though it could be possible to operate, they would shut it down, since there is no way Coinbase or any proper exchange would continue to operate in those conditions.
I'm not taking about coinbase the company. I'm talking about the transactions which generate the block reward, which are called coinbase transactions.

Did you install the SDK? You need the latest version for Android M.
I have the SDK, but not the latest version. I'll update and see if that works. Haven't developed for Android in a while.
I'm using SDK version 23 and build tools 23.0.0

I cannot import the project into Android Studio. Gradle is cussing at me for missing something. Is there anything special I need to do to get it working?

That is an amazing app that you made knightdk. Those sreenshot come from a Huawei phone, I also have that phone, I love it. But back to the app, u will get credits for this, such a good work for the community. Send me a PM with the bugs and mayby I can help/solve the problems.
I'm actually not using a huawei, it is a nexus 5.

Take a look at the issues page. I put some of the bugs that I found there. Maybe you can help with those.

This is great, i'm looking for app for this forum on android.
how about the signature? it will can show on the app? can the notification appear when i close the app? so i can open it for quickly.
i'm watching on this project.
Signatures will not be displayed. They don't display well in the app. If a lot of people want it, I will add it, but it doesn't look very good.

When I add the notifications in, I will make sure that they can be displayed even when the app us closed.
9018  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which country has the highest percentage of miners? on: September 29, 2015, 04:20:26 AM

No its a extremely huge problem. People don't know *which* fork will be validated later on, the transaction from the destroyed fork will be invalidated, and will never get confirmed in the chain that survive.

What will everyone do if that happen? They will dump it down to 10 cents in one hour.

why not? as i said they are already signed and miners can just pick them up

No they can't. For example block X get mined on fork #1, it include XYZ transaction, that fund then get used later on, its on block X2.

Meanwhile the same happen on Fork #2, the same block has been found by someone else and fund are already moved are spent on fork #2 and it include different transaction. All those transaction can't be validated since the funds cannot be used twice. And destroyed transaction aren't returned to the mempool to be retried.

Instead the block chain repair itself and after the forks return to one chain, every fund that was spent on the other (destroyed) chain will be back to where it was when the fork happened.

Which means no one can put FIAT value on it since they don't know if the transaction done at the time will be validated.


that is only true if some party tries an malicous doublespent. in that case you are right.
but you should not assume that all bitcoin users are thieves. in case of a large split exchanges and other services will find ways to detect that (which probably means way longer conf-times on both chains than we are used to atm)

edit: btw this assumes that someone is able to broadcast a tx in both forks. if there is an internet connection between two forks there will be no fork at all

No... you don't understand;

Both fork will find the same blocks for a while, there's nothing to rebroadcast, you can't rebroadcast that you actually own all those BTC, because you just dont.

Only the chain that survive will decide who really own those blocks, which means from the destroyed chain, every blocks found, its fund and its and transaction included in and after those blocks will be completely invalidated and its completely impossible to rebroadcast those transactions, since the owner of those blocks will have changed;

The people people that found blocks and did transaction after the fork will see all of their actions reversed. You can't have a block reward twice, once for each fork.

Its just not.

You can have the wallet rebroadcast all the transaction and IF they had the fund before the fork, then sure they can then be accepted but that doesn't matter because at that point BTC will have crashed to nothingness because of the primary effect.

Oh. You are talking about coinbase transactions. Yes, coinbase transactions and any transactions spending them will be invalidated and thus will not be in the new post fork chain. However, in order for those coinbase to be even spendable, the blockchain needs to be at least 100 blocks long since the fork.

ok, then why do you think that nobody will do anything? do you really think that is an likely outcome of a fork?
Well last time a fork happened, there were no major code changes addressing it.

And the likelihood of such a scenario happening is next to nothing. And with it being such that there are two groups of isolated nodes for long enough that tens of blocks are found the odds are practically nothing.

EDIT: sorry btw. i originally answered VirosaGITS who said that bitcoin will be doomed(tm) in case of such a fork and was arguing about that.
Well that was based on my original statement that such a fork would be disastrous, which I still stand by. Such a fork, if it were to somehow be tens of blocks, would be a massive pain to resolve and probably cause a dramatic loss of confidence in Bitcoin. But the odds of having two completely isolated groups of nodes is practically nothing so this isn't really a concern.
