Just to let the subscribers of this thread know:

Based on bitcoinj, I've created and uploaded a first, experimental Bitcoin wallet implementation for Android:

http://market.android.com/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet

You can send money just by scanning a QR code the app displays. You need to install one of the QR code scanning apps for this to work (e.g. "Goggle").

The app currently only works for testnet. Because testnet is very slow in transaction processing, it currently takes ages to update the wallet. Unfortunately, I can't switch to prodnet, because Android apps only got 4 MB of heap memory and that's not enough for the blockchain. You can use the emulator and assign a max heap size of 32 MB though.

Comments anyone?

I have Bitcoin (GUI version) running (and mining) on two machines, but can obviously only forward port 8333 to one of those.

What implications does this have for the machine without incoming connections?

Will it be able to "find" coins while mining?

Will it be able to receive coins by transactions (more precisely: will received coins be displayed without my intervention)?

Both clients are at the top of the block chain and have connections displayed in the status bar.

Will the answers be any different for "bitcoind"?

Best regards,

Andreas
