SpareCoins: Chrome Extension Wallet to make small transactions super easy

[locksley]

Hey guys,

We just built a Chrome Extension Bitcoin Wallet (open sourced of course). The point was to make sending small amounts of Bitcoin much easier, because you always see random addresses scattered here and there. Opening up your Desktop client takes ages and even using a hosted wallet is too many steps if you just want to send 0.001 BTC for example.

This encrypts/stores your private keys in Chrome Storage, the decrypt key is a SHA256 digest of your password. We use Blockchain.info to propagate transactions and get transaction history on your addresses.

Would you love know what you guys think and will happily take feature requests.

This is cool, thanks for sharing! Is there a reason you chose Blockchain.info over Coinbase for transactions? Blockchain charges 0.0005 BTC/transaction, whereas Coinbase is free for transactions > 0.001 BTC.

Thanks! We love Coinbase and hold some BTC there. But, their API doesn't offer the flexibility we need.

Nice! Why is there no attention? I just found it by accident. Ok, maybe because everyone has a smartphone? But damn it, there are people without smart phone!

Use it with sites like this:
