What would it cost for you guys to build this for windows?
Maybe start a little fundraiser thread. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Wendell It might not be a bad idea, but honestly the first thing to do is find an interested Windows programmer. We have not had much success in our quest to find someone. Quite a few mediocre people have stepped up and offered help, but no one who seemed to really know what they were doing. Perhaps though, a pool of active money could help. A public fundraising campaign certainly might get the appropriate developers' attention. What do you guys think?

Yep, a public fundraiser would get the attention of a lot of devs. Just a matter of time before a "pro" would notice it.

Hi, love the Hive wallet! Just wondering being all protective and safe about my hard earned coins... How exactly do you get your private key from Hive? With the bitcoin-qt client you can easily extract your private key. Haven't found a way for Hive. Isn't it so that when your laptop crashes, and you don't have your wallet backed up, the private key is the only way to salvage your bitcoins? Therefore looking for a way to extract the private key from my Hive wallet. Would be great to incorporate a "print paper wallet" feature in Hive which prints you private key. No?

That's why Hive insists from the beginning that you back up the wallet ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If your laptop crashes and you have a copy e.g. on an external Time Machine drive or in your Dropbox, you can restore the wallet from the backup. (There's no option in the app to do this yet, but you can just copy the files manually in the right place.) Extracting the private key itself is also theoretically possible, but as above, there's no way to do that from inside the app yet. You could try to do that with Mike Hearn's bitcoinj wallet tool if you're really determined, but if it's only for backup purposes then there isn't much point as you can just back up the whole wallet.

Q: Is it really safe for novices to use, right now? A: Almost certainly not, it may even be dangerous! Besides still having many bugs, Hive at present lacks many basic features. This release should be considered an early version, for testing and development purposes only.
How is this going? any major progress? I'm dying to give this a go but I want to make sure my coins are safe. Currently with Armoury. Thanks for pointing that out. We just modified the post to reflect the current state of things: No product is perfect, but we are indeed using it every day now, with our own coin. We believe it to be safe. Looks amazing. Hope to see version for Windows) Aren't you thinking about doing it? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) We're not able to do it ourselves, but if an excellent Windows developer wants to step up to the challenge, he or she should contact us!

Hi there. Hope someone can help as I am a bit stumped. I have installed Hive on my Mac and it all works wonderfully well. I have back up running to Dropbox and TimeMachine. However I have trying to find where the wallet files are actually located on my Mac, but to no avail. I have looked for the Hive folder in the Library>ApplicationSupport, but its not there. (have unhidden all files and folders) Any idea where Hive could have installed itself? When I search for it using spotlight, absolutely nothing comes up. Befuddled.... :-)

That is where your wallet is store.

Many thanks

It has to be in that folder. Are you perhaps looking in the wrong Library? It's not in the main Library at the root, it's in the user-specific Library (Finder -> Go menu, hold Alt -> Library).

Hi, guess what we are working on now... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) (Note: this is a very early version, the UI will change a bit and there's a lot of features missing like various verifications and all the memo fields.) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FCW0iUq4.png&t=665&c=Vx0xHEKsvali9w)

Hello Hive team, I would like to discuss with you about adding support of BitID into Hive. BitId is a "connect with Bitcoin" open protocol allowing smooth one click authentication based on a cryptographic challenge. Benefits for the communauty are huge, as it facilitates greatly signups/signins as well as "pay as guest" e-commerce. A full presentation of BitID is available here : http://bit.ly/bitid-slidesBitID GitHub : https://github.com/bitid/bitidA working demonstration of BitID can be seen here : http://bitid-demo.herokuapp.com/This demo is also useful to test BitID integration into the wallet. There have been already some support of the community to integrate BitID into wallets and services. What would be your opinion about making Hive one of the first wallets to integrate BitID ? Eric

Thanks in advance for your help ! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ) Ok, finally I fixed it, it was as simple as deleting Hive from the Application folder, then, reinstalling... Quite annoying bug tho...

Hive 1.2 is now available. Changes: - preferences window - for now you can set global shortcuts (e.g. Hive send window accessible with a single shortcut, regardless what app you're currently in)
- message signing - for services that require you to verify ownership of a Bitcoin address
- super fast initial sync
- lock screen can be disabled
Payment Protocol support is under development, but for now it's on a branch - it should be available in 1.3. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FFlSMdno.png&t=665&c=dzIyOONroIlU2Q) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FUk1VNoG.png&t=665&c=dIlihHIVXzP9_w)
