Our second Bither article has just been published, and can be found here.

I have to say, the HDM set up went really smooth and didn't even take 10 minutes to complete. Good job

Dear dabura667,

Thanks for your suggestions.  
All your advices are really helpful to us, and we may provide more advanced HDM options (accounts, change addresses...) in future release.
We may improve the UX on spending unconfirmed txs in the future. Also about the TX fee option, you may find this related setting "Default Transaction Fee", and "Normal" means counted by 100 bits, "Low" means counted by 10 bits.

Thanks again  

Best Regards,

Thanks for the "Low" fee setting. I will keep it in mind when you guys get multisig running on iPhone.

One more suggestion: Allow for an "independent cold HD" option.

So your cold device can serve 2 purposes:
1. backup key and bitID key for HDM
2. cold key for HD derived single use addresses (start with 1)

Of course, you will want the derivation paths for 1 and 2 to be different. (m/.../x/... for one and m/.../y/... for the other, for example)
But since you will be keeping it cold anyways, you might as well use it for cold storage address generation (with easy backup!) AND backup key for HDM.

I think Bither can be a good wallet for users of all skill levels, however, I think maybe a few things could be smoothed out or hidden from user by default to create more smooth user interface for beginners.

Maybe default it into a "simple mode" similar to breadwallet with just a QR to receive and a button to read clipboard or start QR scanner... then add option to revert to old GUI with all options all over everything.

Anywho, just spouting out ideas.

Can't wait for iPhone. Thanks guys!

Thanks for all your advices.
Currently Bither v1.3.1 's HDM is our first HDM implementation, and there are so many things we can do and we should do to improve it. Your suggestions are very helpful to us.

Dear jdebunt,

Special thanks to you and Crypto Articles.
Currently we are working hard on HDM's iOS and desktop versions (all these versions will be released in next week). There are many improvements we can do to make HDM much easier and have better UX for normal people, and we will try our best.

Thanks again.

Bither iOS v1.3.1 released with HDM.

[dabura667]

I tried setting up my iOS HDM with a Cold HDM on Android and it tells me the signed Server QR is incorrect even though I input the correct password on my Android and it gives me the signed challenge QR fine.

My Cold HDM Android is already registered as HDM Cold with another Hot Android HDM.


I am thinking my problem is either:
1. Using the same Cold HDM for multiple HDM setups is not allowed, causing the error.
         - There should be an error message explaining that this is not allowed.
or
2. iOS and Android HDM wallets are not compatible with each other.
         - I think they should be compatible, as many people might have an old Android but not an old iOS >7.0 device.

Edit: The problem was #1. If I wiped my Cold Bither and reset the Cold to a new Cold HDM, the pairing worked.

Another "problem"?

The iOS xRandom process is insanely short.

On Android It takes about a minute (could be my Android is slow) to grab all the entropy...

iOS takes less than a second. The animation of xRandom opens, then shows the camera and transparent icons, then closes almost immediately. I am worried my Hot HDM is weak.


My specs:

iPhone 5
iOS 8.1.3

I gave all permissions to Bither when it asked for them. (right before running xRandom first time)

Yeah, you are right. We should make this error message clearer.

I've run some tests upon this and checked the code. It comes out that the BIP39 calculation speed is what differs between iOS & Android. My iPhone5s does this nearly 10 times faster than my middle end Android phone. You have no need to worry about your entropy.

Thank you for using Bither and giving advices.

Can you please add more details for TX? That is, when clicking a TX, it will show inputs, outputs, change, TXID etc... If you can set mods(normal+expert), it will be good for us to change the mod to get the details according to our need. Thank you!

[Vanity]

Trying to generate the vanity address on MacBookPro9,2 fails when trying to use integrated Intel HD 4000 GPU. Works fine with CPU, it's just very slow when it comes to more than four character long addresses

[crazyearner]

In this software for making custom bitcoin addresses are their any areas to doctor settings to improve speeds for using gpu and over clocking etc than basic default setting.?
