I think every app I've ever installed asks for the same permissions

have you seen the permissions that wallet wants? camera usb storage bluetooth full network access + more can anyone explain why a wallet needs all this access? The Camera for the QR code scanning. Usb storage to store the wallet data and block data (not the full block chain). Bluetooth for transactions over bluetooth. Full network access for lots of things. Like the block chain headers,transactions, exchange information (when it is updated) etc. If your suspicious, which would be perfectly understandable being a security conscious person myself, feel free to go through the source and compile the apk from that. It is available on github, although I still need to update the build instructions. https://github.com/digibyte/DigiByteAndroid |

Is there anything special about it? It would probably be the transfer of funds from two phones through a bluetooth connection, making it easier to send funds to another person who has a bluetooth compatible mobile device with a DGB wallet on it. I haven't tried it out yet though, and am curious as to whether this applies to phone->desktop connections as well as phone->phone connections. I would guess that it doesn't, but it's a pretty cool idea. I personally haven't really used bluetooth for much however, so I can't vouch for how well it would work. |

Thanks for your response,
that makes sense my mind is now at ease..... installing Cheesy
I have been doing a lot of reading on android security recently I suppose its made me a tad edgy!
No problem at all. I'm glad I could ease your concerns. Make sure to read the safety information when you load up the wallet. Nothing can make you 100% secure but following its suggestions will greatly lower your risk. What exactly is bluetooth transactions? Is there anything special about it?

That pretty much sums it up. It decouples your requirement on an internet connection. Bluetooth transactions have not been thoroughly investigated yet but are high on my list of improvements along with NFC. I plan on providing more details in the coming weeks along with material explaining usage. As it stands they are currently only mobile->mobile as the wallet itself needs to support the bluetooth transactions. I'm not sure if adding it into the current qt wallet would be the way to go but a light client has been discussed and would be a better place to put the feature IMO |

Best way to thank me is to work towards implementing it into the wallet |

NFC and Bluetooth are both good ideas! I agree with you on implementing Bluetooth transactions in the lightweight wallet. I think that the light client should be something businesses would use for transaction purposes, and phone->computer is a nice way to go for using DGB on the go. I'm sure you could also scan in QR codes for purchases on the go, so it might not be a big deal to have phone->desktop transfers through bluetooth. Looking forward to the light client when it starts getting worked on |

Import / export private key would be nice.
And maybe the intent com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN could be used to scan barcodes.
