Bitcoin Forum

I am thinking about installing a wallet on my cellphone.
The main wallet is on other Devices and / or offline.
In the mobile wallet should be only a small amount for trying to buy something outside or for the ATM transaction or other transaction like exchange BTC with friends outside.

Which wallet do you recommend for a non-technical specialist in the above mentioned case?
Should be as safe as possible, only for small amounts, different coins if possible and fast update or updating in background with low battery use.

Thank you for your recommendations and answers.

I would probably recommend against storing alternative coins in the same one as your Bitcoin coins. There's a few people who post here now and again who have sent their Bitcoin rather than x alt coin.

Thank you. I will check it.
The multi-coin was an idea to avoid too many wallets. Actual I have only LTC and BTC.
Next week will be BTC-Gold added and in November should be anothe new fork with new wallet.
And for the most new AltCoins I need a new wallet for testing. This means many wallets or some multi-coin wallets for windows.
But thisis Off-Topic.

Blockchain, Coinbase and Jaxx are good wallets for you. I personally use blockchain wallet in my android. It works good and max security.

Coinbase isn't a good idea because you don't have access to your private keys. Coinbase gets hacked? You're fucked.
Jaxx isn't a good idea either. They've had a couple of vulnerabilities that the support team didn't want to address.
Not saying blockchain wallet is bad, but it definitely isn't "max security".

I'd go with Copay, Breadwallet, Mycelium. Personally.

I think Airbitz is a good choice. It is designed for new users.

Mycellium. Do not forget to write down your 12 secret words (master seed) and hide it.

I really like the coinomi android wallet. It can store a lot of your coins.

I am use JAXX Wallet.

I am using mycelium wallet. So far it's nice, I find it very easy to use. If you want to save on network fees, you can choose from Economy, Regular, and Priority. It has also so many security features just in case someone has to jail break. Any idea?

I would choose Mycelium for Bitcoin wallet and Jaxx for altcoins. Mycelium is simply the best Bitcoin wallet for Android. Lightweight, fast, and give you control over your private keys. Jaxx actually supports BTC too, but of course, it doesn't have as many features for safety, backup, and other like signing message etc. It doesn't give you control over your addresses private keys either AFAIK. So, only use Jaxx for some minor altcoins wallet and don't put too many coins in there.

I will look at the blockchain today. Thank you

I am happy with Mycelium.

I used Coins.ph wallet because this is the one oftenly used by bitcoin earners here in the Philippines, but I also have Myether wallet for ethereums. Try also Coinomi because it can support not only bitcoins and other famous coins like Litecoin, Dogecoin, etc but also other unfamous coins like Clam coin.

I recommended to use mycelium for the wallet android
you can download it in playstore. It is good wallet for handphone. I always using that.

Isn't better to not have an android wallet? I only use exchange wallets and myethereum wallet

Isn't there any android application on Bittrex Wallet.  ??? ???
 I'm keen to know it.

blockchain and coinbase will bea great choice but if you are from philippines and only holding bitcoin you should go with coins.ph !

mycelium is what i use. when my phone got destroyed i just put the seed words into my new phone and all was good.

edit: private keys stay on your phone.

Jaxx, easy to install and sync with your desktop (QR Code scan), easy to use. But like CodyAlfaridzi said: It doesn't give you control over your private keys.

The best wallet for Android? i think is depened to apps that your country recommended..because some of banks, money transfer, bills on that apps you down loaded are have..

i like blockchain for btc and coinomi for multicoin wallet.

Coinomi also good for you to try. Support altcoins also.

Today news: Bitcore listed in the coinomi altcoins. We can register coinomi for bitcore next airdrops.

i'm also wondering if this phone wallet's are safe...out there are bad people who are using new technique's how to get money for no effort from hard working people...i think if they can scan credit card and phones...they can do this to...it's just mather of time...but on the other side this tehnology is very complex...who knows...

What do you mean by that ? I am using Jaxx (windows, IOS and Android) and i have my private key for my BTC wallet .

I use blockchain.info

i will recommend COINOMI it has support for most alt-coins and also it has an in-built exchange service
so far thats the best mobile wallet

My choice is JAXX
Jaxx currently supports:
Bitcoin
Ether
Dash (not available for iOS wallets)
Ethereum Classic
Augur REP
Litecoin
Zcash (not available for iOS wallets)
Rootstock Testnet (not available for iOS wallets)
Doge
Iconomi
Golem
Gnosis
DigixDAO
BlockchainCapital

Still using xapo and blockchain, still same how to use that wallet. xapo the cheap rates on fees, blockchain i can hold over than 1 address.

I personally favor coinomi😊

- multi-coin
- built in exchanger
- low fees / customizable fees depending on your need of faster or not really need to be lightning quick transactions
- you hold private keys
