This is actually one of the biggest advantages of bitcoin, I think. If your real wallet gets stolen, with actual cash in, it's game over. At least with bitcoin you've got a chance to steal it back before it gets spent.
+1. Exactly. |

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

I have figured out why mine wasn't working. The sleep mode was interupting the download. If you are having this problem, plug your phone into it's charger, open the app, select 'refresh' from the settings menu, and then set the phone down near your wifi router and go to bed. DO NOT hit the button to sleep the screen. The app should have marched through the blockchain by morning, and daily updates only take a minute or so. Also, after downloading the blockchain and finally seeing the coins that I sent it, I sent it more. It took less time for the phone app to see the transaction than it took me to pull my finger from the mouse and pick up the phone. Less than a second. It was "pending" (not unconfirmed, I think that I like that description better) of course, but it knew that it was there.

why is it so big?
That's what she said. j/k. It's the client, and a large chunk of the block chain (even at headers only, I imagine that gets pretty big) |

I wish this was my experience. Is anyone else having severe problems with this not sending or receiving Bitcoins? |

@bitcoinandroid great achievement. Now I wonder if anyone is working on an i*Randomword and WebOS version.
The only problem with an i*Randomword version is that if Apple allowed it, they would probably want a 30% cut of all transactions *evil grin*
*Phone/Touch/Pad/etc...

Works great on my Virgin Mobile prepaid $25/mo Samsung Intercept. Well done.

Hi All, We just released a version 1.1 with some fixes. - support for up to 8 decimal places - progress window shows status downloading blocks and connecting to peers - fixed (hopefully) two bug causing crash reports - added Russian, German, and Simplified Chinese translations (contributed by the community) You can update it from the Android Market. Or if you haven't installed it yet visit: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bitcoinandroid&feature=search_resultWe also added the apk files to the Downloads section here if you don't have access to the Android Market: https://github.com/barmstrong/bitcoin-android/archives/masterThere is a testnet and production (regular) version there. |

No, they are both implemntations of the bitcoinj lightweight client on android. Pretty much work the same, different UI. I have them both, now. They both seem to work fine on my Samsung Intercept, but they both take some time to download the blockchain.
Beware, however, there is now a third such client knockoff on the market, and it could be a scam

Somethings seriously wrong, then. Mine is on my SD card, and my SD card is only 2 gig and does fine. |

Not unless you're doing it. |
