Display balance of receiver's address #43

On the screen that confirms that you have sent money (if there is one), it 
would be useful to see the current updated balance of the address you send the 
money to. Not sure how it would be implemented (Connected to blockexplorer.com? 
Pulled directly from network communications?). The reason I believe this will 
be useful is if, say, a restaurant brings out a bill with a QR code to a table 
with a lot of people, without splitting the bill, each person paying will be 
able to easily keep track how much has been paid to that address, and how much 
is still left to pay. A network-based confirmation of payment receipt would be 
useful for the payer in other situations as well.

That's a very interesting idea, thanks a lot!

Yes, it will be a bit tricky to implement, as BitcoinJ would need to monitor 
pending transactions, which it currently does not do at all. And if it will do, 
it'll probably only monitor "own" transactions.

i think this really is a nice idea. plz. keep this up and alive.
another example would be, if you tx some coins and the receiver claims not 
having received it. then you can see that the coins are truly received.

Have it check blockchain.info for that info, rather than having to locally 
parse the entire chain with bitcoinj?
