No Feathercoin Window 8 app?
-
since w8 is c# mostly and android is java it shouldnt be that
hard to translate from one or the other -
If Microsoft will allow a port of current wallets, you’re quite right. However, if all indications are correct, a straight port won’t be possible due to Microsoft’s restrictions. That will make things a bit more complicated, though how complicated is uncertain at this point.

Youre right, i know nothing about developmemt but if there is a will, there is a way - as always in life.
Imo as an android user, the assortment of ftc apps is verry poor (3 apps) - will change in the future hopefully.
Further i would only use a wallet app from a 3rd party develiper to carry around a few coins - to riski imo.There seems actually no need for apps ( why should i carry around my coins in a app if i cant use it nowhe?), otherwise someone of our community would work on developing one, time will hopefully come and maybe we will see a UNOCS app to.

Perhaps we need to make a Solitaire game and include the Feathercoin wallet in the About menu :P

Was hoping to look into this over the weekend, but it appears I’ll be spending most of my weekend working (again). Here’s hoping I can get to it next weekend…

I reviewed Microsoft’s app policies last night. It looks like the issue with the Blockchain app was the dev was a third-party providing login to a site he doesn’t own and not displaying the HTTPS data or URL. It does not appear that MS has any policies that would preclude publishing a wallet.
I’m going to spend some time this weekend on a prototype. It will take time, but a direct port of existing wallets should be possible.

I just barely started into the feathercoinj source, and I’m thinking this is gonna take a lot longer than I anticipated. bitcoinsharp hasn’t been updated in a couple years, so forking that is not a good idea. I need a valid library to make a suitable client-only wallet. (Downloading the entire blockchain on a mobile device is absolutely [b]not [/b]feasible.) If feathercoinj is stable, I can use that by converting it to a DLL, but I think a native .NET implementation would be the best long-term solution.
Anyways, I’ll see what I can do with the feathercoinj library and will discover along the way whether or not it’s going to be good enough for my purposes.
*EDIT*
Changed my mind about the feathercoinj source. The docs appear to have some errors, but the code looks good and is being actively maintained.
