Cheers,

20K installs within reach ! Bitcoins value coming back shows a pickup of installs lately. Welcome to the new bitcoin fans !

I have not done anything yet. Before I try the suggestions, I would like to understand a few things.

First, I have my bitcoins in my Armory Wallet. I have done the paper backup with the root key printed on it and stored it in a safe place.
If I ever lose my computer (hard disk failure) or my house burns  or whatever, with this piece of paper I can get back my wallet and the coins stored in it, right ?
Basically, with this key in my possession, if I need to create a 'new' wallet some day (on another PC), I will get the coins back from the blockchain directly... if I understand correctly, right ? 

This is what is called 'cold storage', isn't it ?

Hello everyone.

In version 3.00 of the widget, I've replaced MtGox by bitfinexUSD. It is now the default market when you launch the widget.
RIP MtGox !

thanks for your help @Sonny

Anyone else wants to recommend something ?

it looks like it's a more 'common problem' than I thought initially! This could scare a few beginners from bitcoins I think.
This may look trivial but at the end it's rather important, isn't it ?

Bitcoin-Qt works properly, but during exit it crashes everytime with the same error:



I've searched a bit the web and found this :

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2701

2 QUESTIONS :

1. Why did this happen in the first place ?
2. How do I solve this problem ? It looks like I could "Recover using -salvagewallet." => what does it mean ? How do I do this ? Is it within Bitcoin Qt that I need to do something ?

Other solutions propose to delete all the dat files, except the wallet.dat but I'm not sure if that's a good solution. This is the folders and files I see in my Bitcoin folder:



Thanks for your help.

PS: I have my bitcoins in another Wallet in Armory but still I would like to understand what happens and clean up this error.

@t101 @Sonny : Thank you to both of you. It's very kind.

Now a quick question to everyone. In the form that bitpay.com has provided me for donations, there is an optional field for email address.
I'm wondering what's the exact use of this ? Am I supposed to receive the email address of my 'donators' (I don't know if the word exists in english, maybe its 'donor'?)
as a comment in the payment info ? someone knows ?

Hello everyone. A quick update on the widget stats:

Almost 8.000 downloads after 2 months and 10 days 




I am now testing bitcoin donations (using bitpay.com) and have added a simple donation form on my website (at the very bottom of the page)=>

http://www.wavestock.com/

If anyone likes my development efforts ... feel free to test it of course 

deepceleron is 100% right. The heavy lifting is done by Bitcoincharts.com, as I clearly stated in the app's description on Google Play :


I just pull the image with your favorite settings from this website and display it into a widget.
You would have the same result opening your browser using a bookmark.

The added benefit of the widget is in fact to be able to flip through a few timeframes (5 days, 10 days, 3 months, etc) in a few clicks on the widget.
Also, it's always on your homescreen and can be resized to your taste. You can even set it on your lock-screen.

I'm not trying the reinvent the wheel as Bitcoincharts.com does a fantastic job generating the charts. I give them 200% credit and full respect for this !

to everyone, for info:

I've added krakenUSD, krakenEUR and krakenLTC to the widget today (version 2.01) as requested by a few users 
The charts for these 3 only start in early Jan 2014 but will build as 2014 progresses ...

Take care & have a great day,

cousinHub

yes indeed. I looked a little bit after charts as rich for Litecoins but couldn't find any. It needs to be an image format (png, jpg, gif, etc)  to display into a widget (I've got no solution right now to display flash or dynamic java charts I'm afraid).

If you see any good source I'd be happy to check it out.

@quantumf : Refund has been sent to you. No special test to run Txs.

Have a good day.

cousinHub

one hour left to get your free version of the widget PRO  (see below)

@quantumf please send me your 'Order number' (you received it (in an email) when you purchased the PRO version of the widget on Google Play) and your bitcoin adress where you want me to send your refund.

Hi everyone, we crossed the 5.000 downloads  so as promised:  I'm offering 5 copies of the PRO version of the widget for FREE

(see post #61 of this topic)

=> I'll refund the purchase on Goolge play through bitcoin. Just send me your bitcoin adress.

The widget is worth 1.99 EUR or 2.73 USD. Taking mtgox as reference, this means that I will refund about 0.003008 BTC.

I'll take the spot BTCUSD price on mtgox when I will initiate the refund.

As soon as 5 users from this forum post here that they want to profit from this offer (or in max 24 hours), it will expire, so be quick !

14 downloads from the 5K target 

You can slow down a freight train but you can't stop it, even with both hands 

I guess that one day, we'll look back at these devices with nostalgy, like I do now on my old COMMODORE Computer and some of its games
My first Droid was an HTC one. I kept it because I spent some much time programming my first apps on it.
It's only about 5 years ago but it looks like it was 20 years ago 

@nahtnam get a cheap Droid just to have a nice Bitcoin Widget on your homescreeen
