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?

Cheers, UKMark!
Here’s some more excitement:

[/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!

[/quote]Huge congrats!

Why do Apple have to be such plebs!?, would absolutely love this on iOS.
Kudos for doing the work for Android though. -
Well, I have started working on some sort of conversions between the crypto currencies so you can straight away find the value of FTC to USD (of course exchanging it to BTC in the background) I just have to figure out how to collect the recent values of all the currencies and the beta will soon be out on the Android Market (Google Play) :D
Anyone would be interested in it?
-
Thanks for this, am just installing this.
Will provide feedback if I find any bugs.

Awesome. I look forward to your feedback!
[/quote]Everything seems great, just wondering why the app needs ‘Camera & Video’ permission though :o
Not that I’m planning to send FTC while on the nest or in my birthday suit…Just wondering that’s all :D
