auto-confirmation for x bitcoin in x time

[GoogleCodeExporter]

After seeing this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDOcLros-w0
I thought that it will be great to add a feature to make bitcoin-wallet more 
like the actual Google Wallet.

User should have an advanced option ( protected by password ) to set that for x 
amount of Bitcoin ( ex: 0.5 / 1 / 1.2 ... ) the client will make an 
auto-confirmed transaction.
So it will not ask anything to the user, just doing it.

This will make it easier to be used with vending machines or many other small 
payment like vending machines.

The feature can have other options ( mostly to protect the user wallet from 
thief ), like:
1) It can be used every x time ( ex: only 1 time a day, only 3 hour, every 20 
minutes )
2) It can be used only x times ( ex: it can be used only 2 times only every x 
time, feature 1 )

Actually the workflow in that video is more complicated than it needs to be. If 
the user would first select the product, the machine could transfer the amount 
to the wallet. Thus, there is only one keypress at the wallet (Send or Cancel). 
Together with the product selection, it would be only two keypresses.

I currently can't imagine anyone wants to do without the confirmation keypress. 
What do others think?

Other features:

- Auto-confirmation for X Bitcoin addresses for Y amount of bitcoin
The user can put btc addresses on a "list" ( always protected by a password ), 
and set a different amount for everyone.
The Bitcoin-wallet will make the transaction without asking anything IF the 
amount of Bitcoin isn't upper the Y amount set for the address.

Examples:
195v8320978vy9t83yw798hqv45hj7e47h / amount: 1 BTC
129fyn50yg07398ym0v79y3y0457rhhgh4 / amount: 10 BTC

- GPS protection
The user can allow the auto-confirmation feature only on some location. ( or 
everywhere )

The best is to give a different location for every addresses on the "list".
Example Auto-confirmation ( AC ) list:

- 195v8320978vy9t83yw798hqv45hj7e47h
amount: 1 BTC
locations: ( +76° 20' 0.70", +14° 58' 84.71" ) ( +44° 19' 0.65", +11° 53' 
45.71" )
AC available time: only after 10 minutes
NFC: enabled

- 129fyn50yg07398ym0v79y3y0457rhhgh4
amount: 10 BTC
locations: ( +76° 20' 0.70", +14° 58' 84.71" )
AC available time: only after 2 days
NFC: enabled

- Every addresses
amount: 0.001
locations: ( everywhere )
AC available time: every time
NFC: disabled

- Every addresses
amount: 1
locations: ( +44° 19' 0.65", +11° 53' 45.71" )
AC available time: only after 1 hour
NFC: enabled

• Added labels: Type-Enhancement
• Removed labels: Type-Defect

Auto-confirmed transactions seem like an unnecessary risk, with very little 
reward (saving a few key presses).

If the feature does get implemented, I will likely never use it.
