\[ANN\] Feathercoin Android App
-
I’m the developer of the litecoin android wallet here:

I just forked into this repo:
https://github.com/hank/feathercoin-wallet
After creating feathercoinj from litecoinj:

Currently, I’ve synced the feathercoin blockchain completely on my phone:

That top block is this one:
Coming soon:

And since I’ve had nothing to eat today, I’m a bit wasted! But, that makes coding all the better IMHO.

Brilliant work, watching closely! 8)

Cheers, UKMark!
Here’s some more excitement:

-
Excellent work Hank. I look forward to seeing it on Google Play. I’m sending some FTC your way :)

[/quote]Cheers! It wasn’t hard to convert from LTC - not many variables changed. I was a little confused when the genesis block was the same. Why not change that?

[/quote]Looks great, I was gonna say about the exchange rate! I nearly fainted! ;D
Don’t forget the logo too! 8)
Sending you a few Feathercoin now too! :) -

1 FTC transaction confirmed, sent from phone. I’ll be posting this on play now.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN USING THE APP. TRY SMALL TRANSACTIONS TO START - DON’T PUT THOUSANDS INTO THE APP AND ATTACK ME IF IT DOESN’T WORK! As far as I can tell, it works. I’m just a single developer, so I have limited time to devote to this. As people test it out, please feel free to email me at ralree [at} g male (you get it, right?) dawtcawm. I’ll be happy to work through problems with you, and if you’re able to hook your android phone up to a computer and run adb logcat, that will help immensely.

[/quote]Logo: changed. App should show up in Play any time now - it can take a couple hours after publication. I’d say around 7pm EST it should show up.

Great news! 8)
Get yourself a beer! :D -
Thanks to both of you for the donations! Definitely made it worth my time to do this!

Congrats on getting it pushed and published through the Play Store hank.
I’m sure there’s a few people out there that’ll make good use of this app. Me excluded. :P -

[/quote]Iphone? Or perhaps old-phone? Yeah, it’s too bad it’s so hard/expensive to develop for both of those platforms. I’m not willing to pay Apple $100/year for the privilege of publishing with them, and old phones with J2ME just aren’t even worth bothering with.

Oh no, not that at all. If you’d read a little into UKMark’s app thread you’d of spotted I have a SE Xperia Play. ::)
The reason I won’t use it is because I’d rather have a more reliable platform for storing and managing my currencies. I run a TrueCrypt partition for my wallet backups and I’d much rather keep things that way and at present my fileserver handles my wallets and it’s backups.That aside, I can see the work and effort that’s gone into this app and I think it would be a godsend to those who’re not around a computer all the time (but run mining rigs/builds).

[/quote]Ah I guess that makes some sense. The app does allow you to make an encrypted wallet backup to the SD card, and though I haven’t done it, I’m sure there’s a way to extract the private key on a desktop machine and share the key between wallets. Perhaps I’ll try that out in the near future and make a post about it.
I think if you keep just a very small amount of currency in the app it’s not worth worrying about too much - reliability and security balance out with the increase in usability. But to each their own!
