Thanks for the interest and support. I imagined it might be painful. 10 minutes is long enough to validate the transaction in the next block

I haven't forgotten it but some weeks I get more done than others. spent 2 and a bit days equivalent work on it so far but still learning the gui programming side of it somewhat and the GTK objects.

I tried bit purse but didn't get past needing one of the QML libraries it failed to find that is obviously not as backwards compatible to Maemo. It almost looked like it could work though. I'm having more fun with g t k so am following that path for now, whether it's more useful in future for me or not! (probably less so). Once it works well enough I can consider redoing it with better design and learning more portable mobile dev skills...
