Bitcoin wallet HTML5

was born. Well now Apple is having issues with bitcoin wallet apps. High-profile bitcoin wallet providers such as Coinbase and Blockchain have seen their apps removed from the App store. It was only in the past couple of days that Apple approved the bitWallet iOS App which without workarounds is almost useless because the bitcoin sending function is blocked. It’s kind of like having a traditional wallet full of cash that was glued together by your little brother. Sure,you can get the money out eventually but it will require some time and a speech to your brother about how glueing a strangers wallet together may result in a wedgie.

There is a HTML5 bitcoin wallet app outside of Apple’s sphere of influence called Coinpunk. It is an open source bitcoin wallet service that you can run on your own server. The user interface is entirely written in HTML with JavaScript and the backend is built with Node.js. The code is written to provide future support for more bitcoin node clients,including upcoming SPV-based wallets that require less resources to work. You can also accept payments via a QR code,do QR code scanning,and enjoy two-factor authentication.

Coinpunk is trying to raise funds to further the project on Indiegogo,an international crowdfunding platform. There are less than 48 hours to go on the campaign. They say they want to “prove that you can make 100% open source HTML5/JS bitcoin wallets that work just as well as proprietary native ones,if not better.”
