edit: it's meant to be able to send and receive bitcoin just like a regular bitcoin wallet (scanning/generating bitcoin QR codes), right? Ideally it should be able to scan a bitpay QR code and get the address and amount, then send the amount to the bridge to get a locked in quote for an amount that corresponds to the price of the locked in bitpay quote, and then have the bridge return the amount of bitUSD the wallets need to send to the bridge account with a memo that makes the bridge return any funds that are in excess of the quote, and return all funds if they are below the quote.
@Rune, the mechanics are more or less the ones that you describe but we also have a PP (Partialy Paid) state for the exchange transaction, so you can fund it in many transfers without problems.
Also whatever you send in excess you can claim it later because you are the owner of that tx.
Just make sure it is technically tight. Don't leave room for hackers of any kind.
@bitmarket, thanks for your support we take security very seriously.
Besides all of our precautions and design considerations im in talks with Sergio Lerner's company to do a full audit of the wallet.
Edit: I know I'm getting ahead of myself... but any plans for an iOS version?
@.yoshi
We are using testflight app for iOS testing, you can go here

@hpenvy2, as many projects here what we need is more horse power.
What we really need now is help in the brand design, thats why we look forward to work with @cass and @rgcrypto.
Since that means you must be running a Bitcoin node on the server as well, what are your thoughts on allowing the mobile wallet to act as a Bitcoin wallet as well (and augment the API with the server to receive and create Bitcoin transactions)?
@arhag, i will try to address some of the questions that are arising.
What we are doing It is NOT a Bitcoin wallet and even if its technically feasible we don't plan to do it because from our perspective it will confuse/dilute the value proposition that bitAssets bring to the table.
We think that the best product in the crypto world are the bitAssets.
And even if we think that our early adopters will come from the crypto community they are not our final target.
We can have the bitcoin crowd on board pitching them something like "stay in cryptoland, be stable" without forcing them to change their favorite wallet.
On the other hand i strongly support the idea of forking an existing bitcoin wallet (Electrum, Andreas Schildbach, other?) and add the option to "lock(s)" the balance in bitUSD/CNY/etc.
That will be a "reloaded" version of a bitcoin wallet.
A really nice product for the bitcoin community.
I think this product could be the HedgeWallet.
Another response would be to fork Andreas Schildbach bitcoin wallet and instead of a "Locks" button add a "to bitUSD" button.

But we should rely on a centralized exchange to do the conversion because we don't have cross-chain trading yet.
This will give the same value proposition as locks but with new benefits.
