I’ve just published 2.0.3 version of G1nkgo in Google Play and here:
Yes, I skipped a version, but I left it half-baked yesterday. This latest version removes all v1 code, fixes small bugs, some aesthetic improvements, adds support for old Android models, and the GNU/Linux and Debian packages now build properly.
Technical details here.
I’ve just published 2.0.4 version of G1nkgo in Google Play and here:
It includes: Improvements to v2 node management, discovery and error handling. Plus some minor enhancements. Technical details here.

Pour vous donner un peu de contexte : j’ai commencé à m’essayer à la technologie NFC en juillet 2023 (version 0.2.3 de G1nkgo) et cela m’a toujours frustré. Pourquoi tout le monde utilise son téléphone ou sa montre pour payer, et pas nous ? Mais avec tous les problèmes de la version 1, je n’ai jamais pu m’y consacrer sérieusementje. Pour publier sur Google Play pour la première fois il y a quelques semaines sans prendre de risque, j’ai dû supprimer les autorisations NFC et commenter le code, ce qui m’a encore plus énervé. J’ai donc décidé d’aller de l’avant et de ne pas abandonner l’idée que le terminal G1nkgo se comporte comme un terminal et la partie carte comme une carte. Il reste encore du travail, mais bon… essayons cette idée.

Por dar un poco de historia: Empecé a experimentar con NFC en julio de 2023 (0.2.3 de G1nkgo) y era algo que me frustraba siempre. ¿PQ todo el mundo usa el móvil o un reloj para pagos, y nosotros, no…? Pero con tantos problemas de v1 nunca le pude dar mucha atención. Para publicar en Google Play por primera vez hace unas semanas sin arriesgar tuve que quitar los permisos de NFC y comentar código y me tocó más la moral. Así que he optado por una salida hacia adelante y no abandonar la idea de que el terminal de G1nkgo se comporte como un terminal y la parte de la tarjeta como una tarjeta. Todavía queda trabajo pero bueno… experimentemos con la idea.
This thread went quiet after 2.0.4, back in March, while the app kept moving. Ğ1nkgo is now at 2.0.26. Rather than paste twenty-odd changelogs, here is what actually changed for the people using it.
You can write to anyone straight from the wallet, through the same Cesium+ inbox that Cesium and Ğecko already use, so a message sent from any of the three arrives in the same place. You can block and report a sender, and delete a message or a whole conversation from the node.
When the network makes you wait before you can certify somebody, you no longer have to remember them. Add them to a queue from their profile, order it as you like, and the app tells you when each person’s turn comes and reminds you on the day. Certifying or renewing someone takes them out of the queue on their own, and renewals can be queued too. The queue says who is a member and who already certified you. Certifications show the date they really happened, instead of a date guessed from block numbers, every list says whether the certification goes both ways, and on your own profile it reads “They certified you on…”.
2.0.25 fixed a nasty one: certifying one person from the queue emptied the whole queue. The people behind them stay now, in your order, with their reminders.
In 2.0.23: contacts could disappear overnight, because two parts of the app wrote to the same store at once and one of them lost. Contacts now live in a file of their own, with a spare copy beside it. Worth doing once anyway: export your contacts from the settings screen.
A payment could go out in DU while the field said Ğ1; the Ğ1 / DU choice is now always visible, and the payment terminal carries the currency you chose in its QR code, its NFC tap and on screen. A payment already sent can no longer be “cancelled” (that only hid the row: the money went anyway). Batch payments no longer leave a phantom “Sending” behind. Opening an account no longer shows a zero balance while it loads. Some Xiaomi phones stop asking to be the default wallet on every visit to Pay. Paying by NFC got a round of fixes: a request in DU is paid in DU, payment tags written by other apps are read with the right address, the NFC button stays on while it reads, and nothing is paid after you switch it off.
Before confirming your identity to join the Web of Trust, the app asks for two words of your recovery phrase, to check you really saved it. Losing the phone used to mean losing the identity for good if it was only protected by a pattern or a password.
Scan the site’s code or tap its link and confirm from the wallet. forum.monnaie-libre.fr, for example, lets you log in this way.
Type 2.5 × 5 to charge produce sold by weight. The keypad gained an operators column (× + ⌫ =), laid out like an ordinary calculator, and multiplication binds before addition, so 2 × 3 + 4 charges 10.
On the test network the app could read your balance and history off the production chain. Balance and history are now kept per network, and an indexer serving a different chain is rejected instead of being used.
When the Cesium+ pod is down, names and accounts are still found, and the app says the server is not answering instead of claiming it found nobody. Many accounts that showed up as “Duniter Wallet” (a title another client writes, naming nobody) are shown by their real name again.
If your membership lapsed you can ask to become a member again from your own wallet. Importing a Cesium wallet accepts v2 addresses. Key files exported with an accented password open in Cesium and the other clients. The market analysis counts the whole period, not just its first page.
Added in 2.0.15.
The build is reproducible, so F-Droid can rebuild it bit for bit from source; the request to get it into the official repository is still under review. The Debian package ships with its real version and dependencies.
Offline payments restored; the app speaks Duniter v2 only; a better QR scanner that accepts both v1 public keys and v2 addresses; Android 16 and devices with 16 KB memory pages; changing your password is aborted if an account cannot be re-encrypted, instead of leaving it unreadable; successful payments are no longer reported as failed outside English; your account keeps the 1 Ğ1 the network requires; QR amounts written 1.234,56 keep their value; addresses from other networks are refused with an explanation; Ğecko’s QR codes and NFC tags are read again; the node lists are no longer blank on a new install; exporting on Safari no longer claims “copied” when the browser refused.
From now on there will be one message here per release.
