I think I have noticed a bug, either in the BCCAPI or in BitcoinSpinner.

Yesterday, I saw my balance take a ~.60 BTC hike. I looked at my balance on blockexplorer which -should- be accurate since BitcoinSpinner doesn't do the "send random change" thing.

Well, I looked at it and it confirmed my suspicions; my balance was indeed lower on the blockchain than in the wallet. So I tried an experiment... I put BitcoinSpinner on a friend's phone, and sent most of my entire balance to that address. (About 2 BTC).

Approximately 40 minutes later and there is still no mention of the transaction; neither blockexplorer nor unconfirmed transactions shows anything with my address or my friend's. BitcoinSpinner shows the transaction as still "unconfirmed" which i believe means that it has not even received one confirmation.

Now, I know for a fact since it seems the transaction hasn't even been broadcast, that the bitcoins still technically belong to the private key and I could pull out the private key, but I'm looking a bit deeper than 2 BTC here. There has to be something wrong with either the client or the API... or at the very least, something obvious is just not plainly showing itself in this client.

Could the transaction history of BitcoinSpinner be amended to show a number of confirmations? It would be greatly useful in my diagnostics here.
