Compatibility between Bither Android 0.0.8 and Bither iOS 1.2.1 #13

Closed chrismarquardt closed 9 years ago

chrismarquardt commented 9 years ago

I run Bither Hot (v. 1.2.1) on iOS and Bither Cold (0.0.8) on an always offline Android phone. I just tried to send some BTC from my cold wallet, but Bither on the Android phone will not scan the QR code from the iOS side.

Is there an incompatibility between the two versions? I don't like to update Bither Android because for safety reasons I want to make sure the device has no contact with the outside world.

After some searching, I finally found the way to switch to the old QR code. This now works for me. Sorry for posting before I had a really close look. Feel free to close this issue.

@chrismarquardt ,

Thanks for asking. I should suggest you to use the newest version of Bither v1.2.2. Although it is difficult to upgrade the cold wallet, you can pair it with bluetooth to another offline phone (with the newest apk file), and after finish transfering the apk file, close the bluetooth connection. It will still be safe enough.

There are many advantages with v1.2.2:

  1. RFC 6979;
  2. Improved QR code scanner; and so on.

Thanks again for your support, :D
