Breaking Bitcoin Development News
I have recently heard, from a seemingly very knowledgeable source, that Bitcoin’s Android client is getting offline abilities. This means a transaction can be completed with only the merchant connected to the internet.
While technical details were vague, it seems likely that this transfer would happen via a mobile device to mobile device connection such as Bluetooth or Infrared. Whatever the technical specifics, if this works, it will be great news for those interested in off the books transactions.
