I'm planning on starting a github fork of bitcoinj or digibytej in the weekend for a base of the android wallet. I think I digged deep enough in the mintcoin C++ codebase to make this conversion. Once the library is done, rest is just UI, and can be forked from any coin wallet.

I'll start the project on github, and will provide write access to the repo for interested parties. I want all the changes of mint from bitcoinj or digibytej to be recorded in github, so it will be easy to merge upstream changes later. (As far as I can see, digibytej started as a brand new project, and uploaded bitcoinj + their changes in a single commit, which makes it hard to keep track of what they changed)

I haven't tested any coin's android wallets myself, if there are differences in look & feel of them, I'll be happy to know.


Still, if anyone already started this, please don't stop development Smiley This message is just FYI, not a commitment yet.

why not fork off hash engineering digitalcoinj he implements alot of stuff into once class for easier porting of coins

I did quite a bit of reading on Hash Engineering last night, and it seems like they are currently involved with 3 to 5 other wallets and are not taking on anything new for the time being.

If they are interested, they are more than welcome to participate the same as the others that have said they will be working on it.
