I'm offering a small bounty - I'm not sure how much yet, perhaps 0.5 - 1 BTC - for an Android app widget that displays the following info:

* The current blockchain height
* Minute count since last block
* Total outstanding BTC mined (current formula is easy: 210,000*50 + (nHeight-210,000)*25)

It should look pretty and be open source / public domain.  There are plenty of app widgets that show btc/usd price, but I'm more interested in seeing some real time stats about the network at a glance.

Is anyone interested in taking the offer?

I don't understand what you are asking in the PM. All the details are here in the above post:)

I am the author of Litecoin Widget: bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158777.new;topicseen#new

I could probably adapt the code pretty quickly to get what you're looking for. Where's the best API to get the information? blockchain.info?

I might give it a shot, Although, If I ask, Can the UI be simple?

Seems like blockchain.info would be fine for this.

I'd like it to actually look nice Smiley  The functionality is easy, and if that were all I'd want then I would just make it myself...Smiley

This seems pretty easily doable using the blockchain.info API, have you decided what size bounty you're willing to offer?
Do you want this published to Google Play, or only just open-sourced so you can compile it yourself?

PM'd you.
