one of the main idea of bitcoin is, to give away a unique receiving-address for
identifiing the received coins. this makes sense, because the clients and also
the bitcoin-traders send coins with randomly different addresses, you not in
control of.
the schildbach-wallet does NOT follow this concept and instead goes by the old
classic yellow-mail concept of having only one receiving-address and many
sender-addresses (yes i know, in the app you can generate many new addresses).
this misconcept leads to an transaction-list what is showing at the received
coins only the sender-addresses, not the really neccesary receiving-addresses
you give away for receiving the coins. one simple look at the satoshi-client
would have helped to find out about this little but important difference.
so the addressbook too shows me on one side the correct addresses of someone
else i send coins to. but on the other side it shows me just the useless
addresses i received coins "from" instead of the addreses i received the coins
"with". this should be corrected.
and ofcourse, the assigned addressbook names to the receiving addresses should
also show up in the list of my generated addresses, or better: i can assign a
name right there and just in the moment when i generate the new address (an
name-asking popup for example).
