Looking forward to testing this.

My android device is certainly not managed by my carrier. My carrier provides access to their network but can do nothing on my phone. My carrier has no software running on my device, and the worst thing they can do is not providing access to their network. They have the same power over my device that my ISP has over my desktop computer. Nothing.
You cannot compare M-pesa with Bitcoin.

If that's the case (i.e. they may have access and you don't even realize it), then you're an exception.
Most people have a phone where the carrier has exceptionally deep access to the device.

It continues to amaze me how paranoid people are on this forum.
So what you are saying is that when I have a android/iphone that is reset to factory defaults and I then insert a sim card from some carrier, then the carrier can get control of my phone. You cannot be serious. Guys, bring out your tinfoil hats.

Does your phone automatically get updated?

If so, someone else has the ability to control your phone.

Hi,
 Do you have an idea of when the iOS App might get approval?

Thanks

Please, let people decide wether they prefer secure hosted keys or on-board mobile keys: the risk profiles of each solution are different but none can be said better than the other in absolute terms.

Most people aren't even aware of the difference, let alone the risk. Always good to have both perspectives available.

Requested bèta! We need a good iOS wallet!

We plan on sending the iOS invitations Tuesday.
To those of you who requested the iOS beta (through a Paytunia support ticket), thanks for your patience 

[davout]

Thank you all for your great feedback!

Soon we'll be posting on our blog about the future of Paytunia and its place in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
We'll use this as an opportunity to address some of the concerns that have been expressed here.

Stay tuned!

When using the website wallet and clicking Receive I do get a little box with a QR code.  It tells me I need to click the QR code for it to copy the Bitcoin address to the clipboard.  

I'm a select text, copy and paste kind of guy.

Couldn't it simply display the public bitcoin address as well, to serve all rather than forcing users to adopt to this fancier method?

[Update: Not only that, couldn't clicking on the QR code (and/or the bitcoin address if you add that ) use the BIP 21 format?  bitcoin:12ab34C1P7tY6e4nKYDNe4nKYWhe4nKYt

Granted, check it out and tell me what you think about it

Good catch! I really want to implement it properly though, with optional amount, label etc... So it won't happen right now, but definitely soon!

Ok, that's perfect.

Except, I also tried clicking on the QR code to test that, and that doesn't seem to copy to clipboard.   I don't know if it worked earlier, I never pasted after it said copied to clipboard.   I am using Chrome v18.

Seems nice, but I don't like the 6 day coin return thing.  I would prefer it to be longer or self settable.

Can't install this build. Tells me I need 5.0, while I'm running 4.3.1 Too bad

[davout]

I think it really depends on what capabilities we're looking at :
 - web browsing ?
 - e-mail ?
 - what are the possibilities in terms of app development ?

I think the most portable wallet would be something SMS-based :
 - send a SMS to create a password protected wallet,
 - you're answered with a wallet ID,
 - you send money to someone by sending your wallet ID, your password, and the amount by SMS,
 - you're answered with your updated balance

Many feature phones have a very stripped down java VM, and you have to code for an insanely small screen. It isn't much fun, and besides all that you have to deal with communication, which sure isn't 3G or better - it's going to be GPRS or SMS. No fun.

Yeah, that sure wouldn't be very much fun.
However, the more I think about it, the more an SMS wallet sounds like a terrific idea!

nice idea

[davout]

We have just published a build!

If you requested an invite and registered with testflight you can now install Paytunia on your iPhone !
