As respectfully I'd like to appreciate your efforts for putting the stuff on github,I'd want to point out the main factor which would make your app absolutely a waste of time.That is,the requirements!

 -No everybody uses web wallets,electrum pretty much gives the same service to watch my wallet addresses.
 -Any block explorer would give the results instantly after putting a bitcoin address.Do you really think someone would
 take the pain of keep a 3rd party app running and refreshing the stuff to get the latest results ? I doubt it.
 -I'd give you one for the efforts but practically,I don't think the app would make anything simpler to use.

Thanks for your feedbacks.


This is the main reason. to make the code open source, get feedback on the code and learn more about coding (look at my name )


I enjoy coding so even if others don't find it useful, I am learning a lot of things in the process and I find it useful for myself that is why I created this in the first plce.
2 weeks ago I couldn't imagine designing the Xaml like what you see in the first post.
A month ago I didn't know how to use Github now i am pushing commits properly to my new branch.
A couple of months ago i had no idea how to use API and now i have this as my tiny side-project and 4 other projects 1 of which is a trading utilities which i am up to 2000 lines of code.


It is mainly about the size, Electrum is lightweight but it is still 50 MB installation file + 35 MB headers and wallets files.
this project is 1 MB installation file + < 3KB wallet file

Also i personally like to keep track of the value of my bitcoin. If you look at the left side of the GUI you see three TextBoxes for total bitcoin balance and the value of it in USD and local currency which I can't get in Electrum.


It is more like a log book to keep track of ALL your money (public keys)!
For example I have multiple bitcoin addresses which I want to keep them all in one place and not have to copy each address, open a browser and paste one by one to see what the balances are and then open up a calculator to calculate how much it is worth especially in my local currency!

If I see more C♯ Enthusiasts around here I may publish more of my projects on Github.
I'll be glad to see your contributions and help you in any way i can in learning C♯.

Don't get discouraged. Open source software is much appreciated and needed. Keep up the good work. I'm a C# developer myself and always love seeing new C# projects pop up. Would love to help you in any way I can.

Great to see you share your code ! could be handy if you got multiple wallets to keep an eye on.
I was planning to do the same concept in php if i can find the spear time.

It's guys like you who make the world progress.  I hope that when the time comes that you make some serious coin (Bitcoin?  smile).

There is a lot about the "New Economy" that I still do not well understand (how do you get paid for open-source work, etc.).  But, coding that is open to public review, and with getting notice as author of it, should work out well for you.

Bravo.

How to compile this?

Good job. Perhaps you can create an android version too.

Don't worry if you don't have android device, you can still test and run your app on android emulator on a pc.
Android studio by google, bluestacks, leapdroid are some of the emulators.

I've used Xamarin in the past. It does it's job, sure. The one problem I have with it would be the huge payload for such small apps. You're looking at around 5mb payload before you even write a single line of code.
