Ask HN: Bitcoin Micro-Transaction App?

1 points by e3pi ↗ HN
Have I got this right?

Say, I have 0.3265128 of a bitcoin.

At a Saturday yard sale, I see and haggle down a Taig Micro Lathe 3" 3-jaw chuck for $11.50. The seller is familiar with bitcoin only through recent media coverage(as I also) and is interested to weigh in with a bitcoin payment. My phone app evaluates:

$11.50/Today's-Up-To-The-Second-Spot-bitcoin-Price decimal fractional bitcoin value,

generates QR code of this value, and whatever transaction necessary `provenance' bitcoin record keeping,

he captures it with his phablet, and ... we're `Golden'?

May a phone app exist, creates a new user `wallet'(...and its bitcoin ledger protocol, etc?) be possible, so these small(micro) transaction occur on the fly for we: marginal: single, and sub-fungible low-rollers "shiny and new" bitcoin enthusiasts? May we easily and securely balance our own phone app ledger to:

"put forth thy hand, and behold our own shard of glorious bitcoin"?

For iPhone, apps that create Bitcoin transactions have been pulled from the App Store.
You can install and sync Bitcoin Wallet for Android 3.0 in a minute and it supports QR codes for payments.
