Devcoin on Android Test Bounty

Working on the android wallet for DVC, got my first transaction

Android wallet works in conjunction with the new devcoin client, no new devcoin client = no android wallet.

devcoinj (bitcoinj) minimum protocol version is 7000 (bitcoin 0.8.5), so older client peers wont be able to connect. This is not a fork, its just that the wallet will only work by connecting to peers once the new client is being used and the DNS nodes are updated to the new software.

I suggest a 4 share bounty for the first informative testing post of the Android devcoin wallet, then 3 shares, then 2, then 1. It might not be possible to test it until there are new peers, so it might not be possible to test it now, in which case the bounty would just be in wait.

Also, Sidhujag is now Source Admin.

I really liked the mycelium wallet, having ported it over to DVC I realized it was using a centralized API to act as "supernodes" and force the wallet to funnel through the MyCelium server's in order to get/send transactions. Since this API is working on their server acting as a bitcoin server it wouldn't work for my dvc transactions so I wasn't seeing my coins being sent to it. I asked them if they would allow us to clone their API to work for devcoin, but I still am not sure about it since it woudl be a centralized solution, although no blockchain downloading would be necessary and it is super fast.

Currently it only takes a few hours to download the devcoin block chain, so we don't need it yet. Maybe in a year or two the block chain will get so fat that we'll want to avoid downloading it.
