A JavaScript Remote for Bitcoin
bitcoin-js-remote is a user interface for Bitcoin written in JavaScript and released under the MIT/X11 License. It works in most modern browsers as well as on Android and iPhones. If run on an Android phone it can scan QR codes containing addreses to send Bitcoins to! If you don't own an Android device, you can still enter raw bitcoin: URIs in a textbox.
For SSL support a small server side script written in Python is required. You can also use Apache to serve js-remote.
You can try out the demo using this link or by scanning the QR code on your phone:

a) use Apache to serve js-remote
b) setup included SSLserver.py
1. Create server .cert and .pem
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 365 -nodes -x509 -keyout server.pem -out server.cert
You don't have to worry about your keyfile being in the same directory as js-remote. SSLserver.py will only serve files ending in .html, .css, .js, .json, .png, .jpeg, or .jpg
2. Start SSLserver.py
python SSLserver.py
SSLserver.py will listen on port 8338 by default. Remember to use https:// instead of http://! Try it by opening https://localhost:8338/ in your browser.
If your bitcoind isn't running on the same machine SSLserver.py will run on, you can change the RPC URL:
python SSLserver.py -r http://other.host:8332/
Download
