CinniMobile - Mobile Wallet for Cinni Coin

Hello Cinni Community!

I have developed a Cinni wallet for both android and iOS(pending approval).

CinniMobile allows you to quickly check balances, display your address for payment, and scan QR codes and send payments. CinniMobile uses the existing Cinni Wallet via the JSON-RPC so your keys and the blockchain live on your desktop, rather than your phone.

For a live demo, see https://app.io/hxTzpI



This is some further dev work I am looking to do to enable secure messaging and the eventual anon features into the wallet, so I am taking donations at JUmDwx5wje24mArgoiocxGgVmNv71Vq7NY

I have some additional cool services coming on the mobile front, so stay tuned.

I am available on ##Cinnicoin on IRC as binome, feel free to ask me any questions or if you want to get involved.



Nice idea. But as far as I know JSON-RPC communication of the wallet is not encrypted. Therefore your App sends rpc username and password as plaintext over the net, am I right?
Or is there any way to configure the wallet to use any kind of encryption for rpc?

I believe with ngrok u can use https, so u can encrypt the traffic
That's a nerdy solution while it's even not clear if the App can handle SSL traffic or not. IMHO there should be either a warning for non tech people to protect them or a native encryption support for RPC on the wallets side.
Another solution would be some sort of a helper client/daemon running on the same machine as the wallet for accepting encrypted RPC commands and forwarding them localy to the wallet.

If that's not possible for the moment the App should not be released in this state in its currents design for security sake.
