Congratulations guys !!!

I downloaded the new version of iOS and is perfect, thanks for incorporating the export and import of private key, now I'm using Bither.

In gratitude I have donated 0.1, wish it had been more, you are doing a brilliant job.

I take the opportunity to ask, when a signed transaction will your servers or do you use blockchain? (https://blockchain.info/pushtx).

Thank you very much for your great work!

Dear Varmetric,

Special thanks to you, and also thanks for your donation. You are so kind to our team. Smiley

Bither is decentralized and based on Bitcoin P2P network. Bither doesn't depend on our servers or blockchain.info's, when you send bitcoins, you don't need to depend on any thrid party's servers, and Bither will publish the signed transaction directly to Bitcoin network.

Bither-ios is based on Bitheri (a Bitcoin library implemented with Objective-C by us), and the source codes of bither-ios and bitheri are both on github:
https://github.com/bither/bitheri
https://github.com/bither/bither-ios

Thanks.

Sincerely,

I was struck that in your source code https://github.com/bither/bither-ios/blob/master/bither-ios/Api/BitherEngine.m config apparently a call to your server:
             userNetworkEngine = [[MKNetworkEngine alloc] initWithHostName: @ "bu.getcai.com" customHeaderFields: headerFields];
             statsNetworkEngine = [[MKNetworkEngine alloc] initWithHostName: @ "bs.getcai.com" customHeaderFields: headerFields];
             bitcoinNetworkEngine = [[MKNetworkEngine alloc] initWithHostName: @ "b.getcai.com" customHeaderFields: headerFields];

Being getcai.com your servers, I was curious to know if Bither could always work though your servers were down.

In the API I have not seen calls to your server, it may be true that work Bither networked bitcoin natively.

Could you give us a clue that these calls are?

Greetings!
