Hi all,

I've published an initial release of a Chrome Extension to manage a bitcoin wallet in most ways similar to the Electrum client. So far I've been the only one testing it, so I'd appreciate some initial feedback. The extension is available here:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hfdeddmpdncodjalbadbanlcombfeoll/

The code is on github here: https://github.com/andreyf/electrum-wallet-chrome-extension. I haven't decided on a license, but it'll probably be GPLv3.

I would appreciate any criticism/feedback you might have. Feel free to e-mail me at anfedorov@gmail.com.

Cheers,
Andrey

Just tried it. Receive worked. Currently waiting on a send. Very bare-bones but I like it.
Comments:
 - I like the naming of receive keys. (Wish I could figure out how to retrieve a receive key by name at a later time.)
 - I like the password requirement to send.
 - Was not clear if I had to save the initial randomness to restore a wallet or if it can be regenerated from the password.
 - Not clear what server it is using to handle the blockchain.
 - Send is taking a while - I think because I'm playing with tiny amounts of coin. Wish I could add a miner fee to speed things up.

Very nicely done!
