Create a transaction through QR code.

[Sam Bull]

The user should be able to create a transaction to an address in the receive tab using a QR code.

The interface part of this is blocked by bug #1246058.

Importance should be higher than the other bug ("Copy address to clipboard") imo because this app is used to pay (i.e. read Addresses, not writing/sending).

[Richard Ulrich (richi-paraeasy)]

The lack of qr scanning renders the app pretty much useless.
Would be really cool to have this.

@Marco: Copy address is more important as you can copy your address and send it to them to allow them to create a transaction to you for any amount, which could be via QR code, email, SMS etc. It is also quicker and easier to implement, so will be completed first.

@Richard: QR code scanning will likely not be implemented unless the platform provides a way to invoke a QR code scanner. Rather, you will need to use a QR scanner directly, then click the link it gives you. This is tracked in bug #1256410.

I've finally got some time over the last week to do some more work, so hopefully we'll have a new version soon. We're still changing the backend to Python at the moment, I have 3 more tasks to complete before I can replace the old version, then we can start work on these new features.
