Title: Bitcoin Wallet for phone and desktop without external server
Post by: LeutnantGucky on February 18, 2017, 11:06:07 AM
Hello,

as a beginner in the world of bitcoins, I was wondering if there is an easy way to run a independent wallet. My Google searches didn't bring any sufficient answer for me so far.
At the moment I have a wallet on Electrum. But I don't want to rely on external services. I could install a full node blockchain on my desktop. But then for every transaction I would have to go to my PC.
But i want to use my phone, too.
So is there an easy way to have access to my wall via phone?

Thank you very much for your answers!

yes, there are many wallet providers who offer apps and make you access and manage your fund easily, like blockchain.info. Check here https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Thank you for your answers.

@mocacinno
I think "Bitcoin Wallet" should fulfill my requirements.

It doesn't require any centralized external server. So I will try that wallet.

@Untermood
you linked page is a really good way to get a short description of all the available wallets. Thank you for that!

do you trying to use jaxx or mycelium for your wallet in your android phone? and for your desktop, i think you can use bitcoin core or multi bit. i can give you this suggestion because i am using that software too and i think it works fine for me.
