I am downloading it.  I am a little paranoid to run it since I don't know if will steal my coins or not.  Could you provide me a link to the open source code so I can see what's going on under the hood?

Cool.

One question, though:  Does it use SSL for the RPC connection?

Cheers,

Sweet!


Any idea how I do that?

Cheers,

Update to v0.91
Client allows untrusted certificates because installing certs on android is a pain. So more people can use SSL (https://... instead of http://)

Please consider a small donation (button in the send-mode) to cover the outrageous 25$ android market fee to publish even free apps :-).
Or alternatively: Some feedback would be nice. Always trying to improve.

You mean like a message "This certificate is untrusted, trust anyway and never show this message for this certificate again"?

That's very cool!  I managed to import an SSL-certificate, but the previous version failed to connect over https anyway.  Perhaps I did something else wrong…

With the new version, however, I have to ring in the server's IP address — if I ring in a hostname Bitcoiner crashes (and I have to go to the system settings and clear any data associated with Bitcoiner to be able to enter an IP address instead).  Is this the expected behaviour, or should I be able to use a hostname?

Cheers,

Thanks, I'll give it one more try…

Update: it works with hostname, I don't know why it crahsed last time then.

Cheers,

I guess its because bitcoin can't create a certificate itself.

This "https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Enabling_SSL_on_original_client_daemon) should get your started.

I just tried it on windows and it seems like you'd have to compile it with ssl support. My node runs on linux and apparently it's already built in there.

In the meantime you can try the app out inside your local network without SSL.

Just an idea:

What would you think about a thin client that doesn't store the block chain, but only talks to one trusted node who does all the checking and verifying.
It would have it's own wallet.

It seems like no advantage over the existing RPC client, but you could choose to trust a node of a friend or a respected community member like the slush pool node.
So you would not necessarily need to set up your own internet-accessible node.

Any thoughts?
