Wow, no response at all on this one eh? Hmmm. Is WIndows Phone 7 a particularly difficult target system?

Window Phone 7 is a dying platform.

Was it ever truly born besides in the hands of M$ execs?

It's not possible to do a full client on Windows Phone 7 at this stage. The public API's do not include socket access. Only HTTP requests are allowed. A workaround would need to be done whereby it accesses a client or proxy running on a server. Would that be adequate for the bounty?

In the upcoming 'mango' update due about November for WP7 it will be possible to do socket level access.

This bounty shouldn't be too hard, once bitcoinj has been developed, porting over to C# shouldn't be toohard.  Then a WPF GUI needs to be made, and some sort of way to download/send transactions over http needs to be developed.

There's also the fact that Windows Phone 7 doesn't allow background processing or multitasking. Whenever you switch away from the app it stops. You'll have to download newest blocks everytime you start it. Again the november 'mango' update should help with this as some form of background operation is supposed to be available.

I don't see any chance of your bounty being claimed if only a completely client side solution is allowed until at least mango becomes available in November-ish (earlier to registered WP7 developers possibly).

No problem with that, by November hopefully 100 BTC will be worth quite large amount of money.

That's true, hopefully people contributing to the bounty put the bitcoins aside now while it's worth less I have a WP7 which is why I'm asking the questions btw, not trying to put 'stop energy' into the discussion.
