Question : little gray dot ... and big grey dot (on transaction unconfirmed)

[Meuh6879]

Hello,

When i receive a transaction on Bitcoin android wallet, i have a little grey dot ... and a more time after this, a big grey dot.

Can i have the information of this 2 similary indicator ?
I would like to known if it's because i use a bitcoin core server to secure my transactions (wifi between android wallet and bitcoin core server, no other connexion to bitcoin network from peers).

What you see is the transaction being echoed back to you via other peers (not the ones you sent to). It is meant as
1. an indicator that the transaction was broadcasted and there were no technical issues and
2. a sufficient (as of mid-2014) indicator the transaction will confirm. It can be gamed, but so far it didn't happen. If it matters, wait for real blockchain confirmations (green parts of the circle) to arrive.

Yes, i can't spend until a part of green indicator is displayed.
OK, very thank ... it's feedback grey indicator of the bitcoin network (more big, more spread).

Yeah. There's no real way you could know this. We need to fix this UI.
