Title: Breadwallet vs. Mycelium
Post by: 8xbt.com on April 04, 2017, 05:18:21 PM
Currently using an iphone, previously using mycelium but now switch to breadwallet, thinking the design is better, also have the touch id unlock feature. Anyway I want to know more about both wallets, information, differences and comparison between them.

While I like both wallets , for Android it is really annoying that with the Breadwallet you have to set a pattern or a password to your phone or else it won't work. Comparing these 2 I like more the Mycellium but personally am using Electrum everywhere, desktop and phone.

Mycelium are good for me in iphone never had any problem about this app when sending and receiving bitcoins..
In breadwallet never heard that wallet before.. do you think it safe to use?
Well other said the password is annoying so i think better to stay in mycelium because i think it is more easy to use.. but compairing in the image above i  saw that breadwallet its more simplified..

Both are good actually. Just maybe some slight difference between them.

I had the chance to install a breadwallet app before but I had to delete it when I was introduced to mycelium. Tho it's true that there are not much difference between the two I find mycelium to be more user-friendly specially for my friends who are fairly new to bitcoin wallets. It does not require much space and I can load it even with a slow internet. I haven't tried checking breadwallet recently about their updates so I don't know if I can still say the same.

Does Breadwallet still continue to nag you all the time if you run on "rooted" android phones? I had this problem initially (I was a device maintainer for a Custom ROM project so needed to run rooted for a lot of my dev work) and never bothered to check with later versions if it had been removed as I found Mycelium and started using that.

I understand that the Breadwallet devs are super paranoid about the encryption and wallets being taken off lost/stolen phones and bruteforced... but you probably shouldn't be keeping that much money in a mobile wallet anyway! :P

Guess I'm just not the target audience for Breadwallet... c'est la vie...
