Bitcoin Extra Wallet for Android : Includes ShapeShift Integration for Sending to Altcoins and Transaction Export

in bitcoin •  8 years ago 

Bitcoin Extra Wallet is an Android app built upon Andreas Schildbach's popular wallet, with additional features. You can use it to exchange and pay to altcoins using ShapeShift integration and you can export your transactions for accounting purposes. I have already developed the Peercoin Android wallet and NuDroid (for NuBits) which also have these additional features. The app is open-source under GPLv3.

ShapeShift integration allows you to pay to alternative coins such as Peercoin or Litecoin with your Bitcoin. Simply scan a QR code, follow a payment link, or enter an address for a coin of choice. You can specify a Bitcoin amount or an amount in the other currency. When you send Bitcoin your funds will automatically be exchanged and sent. It couldn't be any simpler!

The supported coins are: BitCrystals, Blackcoin, Clams, Counterparty, Dash, Digibyte, Dogecoin, Emercoin, Litecoin, MaidSafeCoin, Mastercoin, Mintcoin, Monacoin, Namecoin, Novacoin, NuBits, Peercoin, Reddcoin, Shadowcash, Startcoin, Storjcoin X, Vericoin, and Vertcoin.

Ethereum is not currently supported, however may be added in an update. ShapeShift is not used for Bitcoin only transfers.

The wallet contains many more features:

  • In the menu you can export your transactions to a csv file.
  • No accounts. The app is decentralised.
  • BTC, mBTC and µBTC units.
  • Conversion to fiat currencies.
  • NFC, QR codes and URIs supported
  • An address book for Bitcoin addresses.
  • Bluetooth payments allow for payments offline.
  • Notifications when coins are received.
  • Paper wallet sweeping.
  • Widget showing balance.

You built a Peercoin wallet as an app? I'm just learning who people are on this system. :)

Very good blog. Nice to see I'm not the only one who thinks like this. Investing in the cryptospace might come with a high risk but honestly I don't believe the risk is that high for the people who are daring to HOLD their coins for long. I found this amazing platform: https://www.coincheckup.com I'm really enthusiastic about this site, they let you analyze every single coin out there.
