Title: Safety of using Electrum MPK Bitcoin Watcher? Post by: Mjölner on August 10, 2015, 10:54:12 PM Hello.
I am a semi newbie to BTC. I found this app on Google Play (formerly known as Android Market R.I.P) called Electrum MPK Bitcoin Watcher. Any of you famliliar with it? Is it safe to use?

Post by: Muhammed Zakir on August 11, 2015, 11:27:21 AM MPK is master public key of your HD wallet. You can share it with others but that will decrease your privacy because people having your MPK can see all your transactions linked to that wallet.
Sharing your MPK with that wallet is fine too but if you value your privacy, then its probably not a good idea as we don't know whether the developer is monitoring our transactions or not. Don't ever share your seed with anyone else! Title: Re: Safety of using Electrum MPK Bitcoin Watcher?

It still works with an individual bitcoin address but not with an MPK. Title: Re: Safety of using Electrum MPK Bitcoin Watcher? Post by: giustone on August 15, 2015, 10:22:05 PM You can use the blockchain app(android or IOS) for watch on a address.
You can receive on your email every transaction,make from a bitcoin address. -Giustone |
