I will check this out soon. By the way, do you have an office in .PH ? Because I live here.

We do not, but I was there earlier this year. I'm half-filipino and have a lot of family in the Philippines. The TLD happened to work with our company's name. -rob

Guys, this is such a neat product, but why no source code?

Thank you. I talk about this exact topic at length on Ep. 47 of Let's Talk Bitcoin: http://letstalkbitcoin.com/e47-identity-bitcoin-with-rob-banagale/

Indeed. It's a total waste of time to advertise a closed source product to the most paranoid (including me) people on the internet in my opinion.

I don't like having my time wasted either. If you care to listen to the podcast, you'll hear that Gliph is not built for the most paranoid. Yet is practical for people who are otherwise using closed-source and plaintext communication tools like GroupMe, Whatsapp and SMS.

We're happy to recommend open source solutions to folks like yourself. Again, I'd recommend checking out the podcast as it is a good overview of Gliph and our stance on open source.

We have open sourced a project within Gliph, which is software for transferring bitcoin over low energy bluetooth. That repo is here: https://github.com/Gliph/

What are the reasons for not opening it?

Like I said, please have a listen to the talk with Adam linked above. You can skip forward to it. I go into great detail and you can hear it directly from me.

Not to mention, Let's Talk Bitcoin is an excellent podcast, highly recommended.

I can't see te feature to send money anywhere.

When in the chat, tap the "+" next to the box where you would type a message.

Sorry for the late reply. I got my bitcent pretty much straight away after chatting with you.

I still like Gliph a lot and use it where I can. The only thing I noticed: I'm on very slow networks sometimes (for comparisons, think 14.4k modems...). I noticed that Whatsapp messages still manage to sneak through, whereas on Gliph they get stuck. I would also like to be able to write messages offline and Gliph would then send them once I got connectivity again.


For gli.ph/m/ could we get a "regular" interface? That Iphone doesn't work for usability IMHO.


Edit: Can you "even out" the features set between the Iphone and Android app?

Apple forces Gliph's hand with respect to Bitcoin support.

That's unfortunate. There's no reason to use it now, for me anyways.

What a clever looking little application.  May have to give this one a go and report back here with my review.  Thanks for posting and sharing this nifty tool.

Hey folks. I'm writing to request help testing a new feature we're working on for Gliph.

The feature focuses on Craigslist, and making craigslist a better place to use Bitcoin.  If you use Craigslist to sell items often and would like to test it out, please send me an email rob  at   gli . ph.  I'd be happy to help you get set up for a test run, in exchange for your feedback on the experience and how we could improve things.

Also, I updated the thread to reflect that you can't send Bitcoin using the iOS app anymore. Please note, you can still send using Mobile Safari.

Hey Bitcoin Talk folks,

I wanted to check in on two things:

1. Gliph is up for nomination for Best Mobile App on the Blockchain Awards. We would appreciate your nomination, by tomorrow, for the award. Feel free to nominate folks for any of the categories!

Nominate Gliph Here

2. We are running our second annual photo contest. We select a few winners which we feature on the site and in our marketing. We give preference to photos of pets, so feel free to submit something for inclusion.

Enter a photo in the Gliph photo contest.

It has been a little while since we put out new Bitcoin features, but we have some great stuff on the way! Thanks for your support!

Hey Bitcoin Talk folks,

We are currently beta testing some new features on Gliph. I wanted to give the BitcoinTalk community a chance to check it out and provide feedback.

• If you're generally interested in trying out some new Gliph stuff, please send an email to support at gli.ph.
• If you're interested specifically in testing the Android app as we make changes, we have a google group for that.
• We also have an iPhone testing group. Again, email support@ if you're interested in being a part.

Hey there. We're planning to send out the first beta of the new Gliph Android app we've been working on tomorrow.

If you're interested in having a look, you can request to join the google group we use to distribute the test version.
