Announcing BTCBIN: A ultra-thin Bitcoin address client written in HTML5 for mobi

[hattorihanzo]

**This is in beta and you may loose keys generated after a appcache manifest update (although I believe I have the db how I like it and don't need to mess with it really)
But still use with caution!

Try it now:

After selecting the language I just get a white screen. This is on chromium 15 on linux.
It does work on my mobile phone though.. looks nice

Strange. I'm using 16 and do most my testing in chrome.  Can you refresh it and try again?

[eja]

Yes, seems to work now..

[hattorihanzo]

Strange. Yea this is target for webkit. so im pretty sure dom sql and a few other features are limited to chrome and android/iphone devices.

why should i trust you and the security of your pc with the private key of my wallet?

and: http://btcbin.com/#dev
does that delete only my entries?

Nothing is hosted on BTCBIN, all the data is stored on your device similar to the normal client. Altho the normal client has wallet encryption, this is ment to be just a wallet carrier.

And yes, it will all the wallets. But im think your confused still about how the app works.

[Costia]

you use the local storage feature of html5?
I am just being paranoid, as required by bitcoin

[hattorihanzo]

more or elss but no, webkits local sqlite

[hattorihanzo]

so it only works in webkit right now. I will see about adding a driver for localstorage and maybe getting it to work on wp7

[Costia]

Oh. so its totally offline
I thought it still required a server like apache

[hattorihanzo]

Well servering the static files yes.  But if you look, we utilize html5 app caching.  This will work in air-plane mode baby.

you have to encrypt the keys
the db is stored as a regular file - i was able to read the private key with notepad from outside the browser

Yes i agree, this is still in development. Also its targeted for mobile devices which have a more sandboxed environment, but still given the nature I agree.

Iphone and android both use webkit, I've tested on these devices.

Androids:

droid 1,2,3

iphone 3,4s

ipod touch

[hattorihanzo]

also chrome 16.


it should also work in opera and safari.

no firefox or ie due to the sqlite requirement.
