It's becoming a frustrating issue when new project you have interest in have no mobile wallet, for over a year and half now I've waited for a project to built their mobile wallet but nothing so far, what are developers thinking? We are in an era where by mobility is the best choice for most people, who still sits in from on a computer just to send coins ? You also have to keep syncing the coin blockchain too to stay updated.

Don't blame people for not investing when you aren't making things easier for them, mobile users are much more than PC users, dear developers start considering mobile wallet pls

Yes mobile wallet just make things more easier, I've turned away from many new projects because they don't build mobile wallet, not everyone owns a computer but everyone owns a smartphone, I'm wondering what our developers are thinking this days, infact mobile wallets should always comes first

I don't think it will be more important, because mobile wallets are made for greater convenience for users and the problem is annoying but i do not, most of the big transactions i do on PC, for small transactions mobile wallet is a lot easier. But basically for a project they need to do a lot of work, so depending on the roadmap they will release that product sooner or later.

Hardware wallet is the best, but if you can't afford it, you can use Electrum Wallet. Electrum is an open source wallet and it's completely free, like your own bank. Never hold on to Coinbase or any other exchange. This is very risky. Electrum wallet is best after hardware wallet.

Mobile wallets can be one of things people will consider but not the reason will decide they invest or not invest. The project's specifications and potentiality to be a game changer will decide investment decisions. You can visualize it with two websites: one website with polishing design and one with boring design but some scam projects or PONZI have such polishing and attractive design to attract investors. At the ends, they don't create any product or if have products, poor quality ones.

If you are obssesed by mobile wallets and store all of your crypto on your mobile devices (phones or tablets), you will be under a serious loss in the future. I don't deny the convenience of mobile devices and wallets for mobile but don't store all your money on mobile.

I'm currently having same issue with Veil privacy coin, I invested in this coin in 2018 and I was forced to download the windows wallet, got the recovery seed and address, bought some coins and deposit but after I sold my PC but until this day the team still don't release a mobile wallet, if the coin pumps today I won't be able to sell because

1. I don't have PC anymore
2. The whole blockchain data is over 32gig of data

Even if I have to get a PC from a friend I'd still have to worry about buying huge data to download the blockchain.

Whether it is important or not depends on the user, if I use a mobile wallet it is also very important,
because it makes it easier in any case, such as sending crypto easily without turning on a PC, receiving crypto easily, and other things,
indeed there are many mobile wallets now, such as Trustwallet, IMToken, etc., because they are easy to use and store,
making users choose a mobile wallet.

I do agree that mobile wallet is crucial nowadays and just feel more convenient but a new project usually lacking the resource to create one therefore they decide to make desktop or web wallet just to test the water. Once the project kicks off and gaining more and more attention they will eventually create mobile wallet. maybe there's technical reasoning behind that decision we don't know for sure and I guess most of blockchain developers specializes in desktop or web.

That is what happens to the new project because many of that project can not run their project for the long term.
Many of the projects cancel their project or stop developing the project because of many factors we don't know.
But if you choose a reliable project such as bitcoin and another altcoin, you can see that the team is still working on their project and will make sure that their project is still running for a long time.
Maybe having a mobile wallet is the best solution for people, but remember that some people still prefer to hold the coin in a cold wallet.
You can search for the project with a mobile wallet to store their token or coin, so their users can use the mobile wallet without having a problem or need to buy other devices to save the coin.

Having a mobile wallet ina project is a huge plus for investors. People want convenience and the best way to provide this is through mobile wallet apps. It may not be highly recommended as to the security, but being able to use your cellphone to check, transfer, withdraw and etc is a huge factor.

You don't get it, there are some new projects that are running on a new blockchain, they have no mobile wallet but windows and Linux wallets only, that's why people are complaining cos everyone owns smartphones not PC, smart developers should know that almost all humans have access to mobile phones this days but less humans have PC in their homes, when a new project get launched mobile wallet should be the first available wallet for the project

That's quite true, convenience and easy accessibility is the main aim and thats why most people values mobile apps or mobile wallets nowadays. Also, this issue is found mainly for projects using their own blockchain while as for those based on already developed blockchain, users need not to worry unless the platform want to develop their own mobile wallet which will also run on already developed blockchain. Furthermore, in as much as developing a mobile wallet makes a platform look serious, one still need to be careful because developing a mobile wallet is one thing and maintaining it through more Improvements is another, and this is where most team are found wanting. So in essence, let's not use mobile wallets as a huge criteria in knowing a good platform that will last long term, because if the team run out of ideas or gets fade up or the project gets tough, they can still abandon the project.

That's very true, people want the easiest way out when doing things, mobile wallet is the best option over windows wallet because there is no need for any syncing, on windows wallet you can only make transactions on the blockchain if you fully sync the blockchain and that's downloading large amount of data, it's going to cost alot

Me.  :D

You can suggest this to the developers of the project that you are following. Maybe they don't think that it's necessary for them to create their own token. But once they have heard someone talking to them with sense and demand like this, they might think of it and do it in expedite.

Let me Ask you "are those project that you mentioned has a currency that accepted in merchant?" because if does then that's good to have their own wallet,But if those shitcoins will only stay in that wallet then whats the purpose of creating one?
 and Also it will Look like Ponzi as the wallet that will be place to stored the Coins of their own is in company's position as They can easily manipulate the system and investors might lose their funds.
and Besides There are so many existing wallet now all you need to do is store your coins on those and youare ready to go.

what altcoin do you mean?, as I know Top altcoin on market cap already had a mobile wallet application. If a new project only forked where the mobile wallet isn't ready yet, they must modify themselves and create new innovation for that. This means we should far away from the new project because they don't have a strong team yet, it could be a fall in the market cap.

you can conecting hardware wallet into a mobile phone, but the problem is the new project didn't have that option.

Friend ... What do you know about cryptocurrency in general? You put one wallet, you immediately need the third wallet. And for other coins. And as a result, you have 10 wallets on your phone. And then you no longer know which wallet from what.

Personally, my mobile phone is a separate laptop))) As they say, safety is above all. Until the cryptocurrency closely cooperates with companies issuing plastic cards, we will not see convenient multi-wallets that will affect all areas of life.

i dont think mobile wallet is that important unless you need those security features because almost all exchanges right now have online wallet and mobile app. unless your coin is some unknown obscure coin that will be different matter...

you could  deploy some remote desktop and control it from your phone if you dont have any pc to open the wallet and if the wallet need to download many gigs of files remote desktop is already enough.

Popular multi wallet platforms can implement any new coin at any time, it depends on the project team, once upon a time there was no single working Monero mobile wallet, I was so into Monero at the time but I couldn't buy or mine Monero because of lack of mobile wallet, in 2018 everything changed, XMR came into coinomi wallet and it works very well, I believe that mobile wallet are more user friendly than PC counterparts

I agree, mobile wallets are very convenient nowadays, but it is not necessary for every project to have its own wallet, you can use, for example, Trust Wallet, which supports all coins.

Mobile wallet development takes time but if it's past half a year it will be a really long time. You should do some research on when was the last mobile wallet development last if the team has confirmed it in the last 2 weeks so be patient as wallet mobility will be released soon.

Are you saying that trust wallet supports all coins that's available in crypto space? You are wrong, trust wallet only supports some coins, I think like up to 100+ different coins but we have thousands of coins today, isn't it? OP is talking about fresh projects with own blockchain, it takes time for such projects to get listed on trust wallet

In my opinion, mobile wallets are indeed very important to make it easier for everyone to make transactions, especially those who don't have a PC or laptop, this can be very helpful, but making a mobile wallet is not easy in a project, because it must be planned to design a very good system for that. It will take a very long time to test to ensure that the wallet app is truly ready to use for everyone.

With all the vulnerabilities that Mobile wallet possess someone seems to be scolding team for not having mobile wallet, most of these DEFI projects are Ethereum tokens, why are you not scolding Ethereum team for not having Mobile wallet. You can use Myetherwallet, MetaMask and Trustwallet if you are looking for mobile wallet and they are free but don't keep huge amount on it

Hardware wallet is recommended if you have large amount of cryptocurrency but it's okay too to use mobile wallet if your crypto is not that much but be sure to use and download mobile wallet which are non-custodial, there are many of them in the playstore.

I agree with you, we all have smart phones to check our portfolios from anywhere. We should be able to do the same with our crypto coins. I understand the security risk for a mobile wallet are much higher, but at least we should be able to have some form of mobile interface. A PC is great and probably most of us are using it because of the pandemic and lockdown, but once the pandemic is over we will be more outside again. I wish the forum had an APP.

Guys, I don't see any problems in all this. If a new project that comes out has not yet made its own wallet, and if it represents a really worthwhile coin, then I am more than sure that it will definitely be added to existing multicurrency wallets. A shitty coin and your own wallet will not help. Or I am wrong in my vision of the problem.

It is still based on the project status, it's part of their project plan but they haven't reached their target to be able to create their own mobile wallet.
Creating one would cost a lot, but some projects started mainly with an app, which they dedicated a huge amount of funds, cause maintenance is costly.
Legit projects risk and invest in their projects, but not everything works, but overall, I agree with your statement, as mobile app is much efficient and sure friendly.

I think here I can completely disagree,,, I do use mobile a lot but I have tried very hard to keep all my crypto off my phone, everything is either on a computer I use (which actually I clear when I stop using) and just rely on extensions like MM for eth to work on browsers that I can remove/uninstall as soon as I am done.

I do use mobile for crypto related stuff but never for wallet. Just cannot trust my own device or connections plus all the other apps possibly listening to me:)

Mobile wallet should be considered if there is such a thing, it is likely to attract more people to invest. possibility includes everyone but also depends on the product of project, if we are talking about a product that requires the use of a mobile wallet to transact this is mandatory.

You guys are just posting without reading first, OP is talking about projects that are new and don't make mobile wallet available for adopters and investors, veil coin for example is a privacy coin that has no mobile wallet, it's not available in trust wallet or coinomi wallet, the team only build the windows and Linux wallet

Perhaps it was not their priority at this point, maybe the first thing they want to do is create a desktop wallet and then move to mobile. Yes, I agree that having a mobile wallet is very important as this may make our life easier but we still have other options.

Again, it boils down to preference, me? I don't mind to use a desktop wallet, much easier to me. One thing to note though that having a mobile wallet might be more vulnerable to attacks as it is always online.

If a project has no real usage, I think mobile wallet is totally unnecessary. Because, you can simply hold the fhnd into pc wallet or exchanges or web wallet if available. Also, mobile wallet add no good security. It’s riskier kn my opinion as we give a lot of permission to different apps which can get our data and compromise the data.

A PC or web wallet is easy to make, and the mobile wallet is needed by an App developer, which is less than a PC wallet or web wallet developer. Hence, every good project has their all wallet PC, Desktop and mobile and some project don't think about the mobile wallet and just running their project in the same wallet so we can just wait for mobile launching wallet of any project and can't force to them. 

This is right when my friends are doing bounties almost 3 years ago, I am the only one who uses PC. all of them used CP to promote the campaign they are belong to. Nowadays, people who came to the crypto industries more likely to use smartphones for their trading purpose or investment that's why mobile wallets need to have some good updates and development too. Mobile wallets cons are fakes because there are lots of those fakes wallets in the play store, one should be extra careful when downloading and transferring their crypto assets to their downloaded crypto wallets.

It is very handful and to carry your investment in a small gadget which is our phone. But I don't think it was the safest way to secure our fund there. Prone to hacking? What if your phone gets lost? Do we have another way to recover our assets there or it only just stuck there until the time that the phone has been recovered? If that only be the way, I'd preferred not to us used it.

Yes, and not only that, for now there are so many mobile wallets that are safe to use, one of them is like you said and there is also like myetherwallet which can also support all crypto coins at this time.

indeed using a wallet on a PC or computer device is easy to use but you must know that it is more efficient and safer to use a mobile wallet such as a trust wallet, from that wallet you can use it to make transactions easier because transactions only use mobile without having to use other hardware.

convenience or to make it easier to control altcoin is really needed by using a cellular donpet, we can see it anytime and also make exchange transactions on cellular wallets, and for web wallets we make transactions when we control it on a PC, but hardware wallets remains the safest, it's just the price that makes you think twice about owning it, but on a mobile or web wallet we only need to download it

It might be important but not essential for any project. You would have known this if you go through the whitepaper or roadmap provided they have one. Many serious projects have plans that run for a long period of time. This is because Rome was not build in a day. It take time for many of them ( apart from scam project) to fully actualized all what they need. However, there are many decentralized mobile wallet that support many of the blockchain technology that are being used to develop many of this coin you are holding and one great thing is that such wallet allow you to add custom tokens, so you can add your token on the wallet. One of such is the trustwallet and Tokenpocket. They are both available on various mobile stores for download but you need to know which blockchain technology is being used to create the token you are holding. ERC20,TRC20 etc.

This is one thing that a project to consider and should be on their road map, if they want to gain support, investors will think that they are here in a long term if they have a mobile wallet, because they do have a market and investors prefer to store their token/coin to mobile wallet, I have second thought investing and supporting project without it on a roadmap.

Its becoming necessary for users so they can keep using the project, if there is no mobile app for the project they may not see the need to use the project anymore. Moving to projects where there is easy of use will be their option.  Developers today are even trying to come up with mobile wallets just so they can allow staking there. sending and receiving will be easy.

I also prefer projects that have mobile wallets because I find it more convenient to use. We could check on it whenever we want which is an advantage, especially for big-time investors. However, most investors still prefer desktop wallets because they find them more secured. I think things will still depend on how we handle our funds. Keeping our private keys regardless of the gadget that we're using for our wallets would be a big help to maintain its security.

Today mobile phone became one of the most important parts of our life and there is no way for new projects, when they don`t have good mobile wallet, they lose very big community of the potential supporters. Hope developers will understand mobile wallet is much more significant than PC wallet or somthing else

you just lack of self research . look around you , theres tons of crypto mobile wallets now and that could be the excuse of new devs to not add to that stress and they think of other ideas instead but they usually end up with the same existing idea . no doubt and we cant blame them because its really hard to think of a unique project because theres so many players are active on this scene . or you also join a project with a different nature but your expecting that they will built a mobile wallet ? there something wrong with you .

We are in the era these days and many people prefer to use the mobile version when using an exchange. We have our own preferences when it comes to use of a certain wallet. And I find and easy to use mobile versions though some people also preferred in a pc wallet. So those project should consider to built mobile  whereas people finds conveninent and ease of use.

That's the big issue these days I have observed that there are some quality coins in the market but there is no mobile wallet for those the developers of these coins must take it seriously and try to focus on mobile wallets and this is absolutely necessary for them to make mobile wallets because majority of crypto community obviously uses mobile phone more than pc.

We should understand that they are into big investors and those investors wouldn't save their investment in mobile phone instead of a software or in desktop. That's the reason that comes to my mind after reading your post, the mobile users are less priority I think.

PC/Windows wallets are pain in the ass, you will always need to update the blockchain before you can make any transaction, with mobile wallet you don't have to update the blockchain, it will automatically sync with the blockchain of the project and you can make transactions without waiting for the blockchain updates, any new project that don't build mobile wallet lacks experience

There is a concern that when a wallet has more features, it means that there will be more security holes where hacking could occur.
We know that currently the safest wallet is a cold wallet, one of the cold wallets is a hardware wallet.

You may hear more about the Ledger and Trezor wallets, but there is one wallet that I highly recommend, namely NGRAVE (https://www.ngrave.io/),

Its features are not like software wallets in general, and even tend to make it difficult for us to make transactions when compared to mobile wallets which are certainly very easy to send coins. But with those limited features we get what is called security.

If there is an organization or company that creates a mobile wallet and claims that it is the most secure wallet, I think it is very difficult to achieve a security system comparable to a hardware wallet.
It's okay to store small amounts of assets in a mobile wallet due to high mobility, but make sure most of your assets are safe and you are in control yourself.

There's a lot of mobile wallets out there all you need to do is to search out for them. For ERC20 tokens mew has already provided a mobile wallet application and you can download it on the Playstore and Appstore if you are using IOS or you could just visit them on their website. While on Bitcoin wallet Coinbase, Blockchain, Trust Wallet, Electrum, and more has its own mobile version of their web wallets. As a matter of fact, I am using one of them to send and received any transaction and it is pretty convenient.

That's true, it's more convenient to use mobile wallets than downloading windows wallet and still have to upgrade/sync it's blockchain data which are always too big, if you end up with such coin and you have been away from home for a long time you will have to update to the lastest data to be able to make transactions, this isn't a good way to attract investors, it will chase some away

Ya i agree, but the developer must consent more in the security since mobile is more vulnerable i think. Many scam, phising, and hack comes to mobile phone

The zero synching for mobile wallets is why I like them more than windows wallet, you always have to done the whole blockchain data which will costs you alot, in 2018 when I was still addicted to mining new crypto coins I used to use PC wallets to store the coins because the team failed to build mobile wallets but I end up giving up because I couldn't keep up updating the blockchain data

i do not believe that i will use mobile wallets soon. i do not believe to smartfones. i always turn off wi-fi when i am not at home. even in trust wallet i do not trust completely. maybe it will change with time.

The project should welcome some improvement in their platform since many people also loves to use mobile. That's the problem I also encountered it just needed to sync wallet in pc and it consume time to the users. Mobile wallet is very important because of we can bring it outside of our home.

I’m not into it though i have 3 online wallet. I also have other online on my mobile. I’m still into cash because here in our country not all store have mobile wallet and it is easy to transact in cash. Mobile wallet is hassle, you need internet connection or data to pay for you expenses and that is why it is not important for me.

I personally don't really think that every project developer requires having a mobile wallet.  it does sound simpler.  But if you look at it from a security point of view, a web wallet is also quite safe I guess.  Because I never store my assets in a mobile wallet, so it is not really the main thing that every development requires the availability of a mobile wallet.  Maybe there are some projects for which mobile wallets to be the main goal, for example there are cooperation with real companies and blockchain companies that require transactions via mobile wallets.  The rest of the users are not really a problem I guess

you can trust wallet but those who are desktop wallets only and by the way you dont have a mobile phone ? what do you use when communicating .

 all people need it and mobile  phones arent only for mobile wallets but it can also be useful for other things .
we need crypto mobile wallets because we cant always carry our desktops when we travel and what if we are out of cash but we have a crypto and the service that we are going to use do also accept a crypto .

thats how useful mobile wallet was .

Indeed，the position of mobile wallet is more and more today， developers who do not built mobile wallet are not good developers，and this will restrict the development prospects of the project.

For me, mobile wallets only provide comfort and convenience in transactions. Not the most important thing. projects that provide service to mobile wallets are great, but I rarely use mobile wallets, so, if a project does not provide mobile wallet services it doesn't matter to me.

in my oppinion there is no need of every type of mobile app becouse there are lots of other web portal to overcome such problem.

I agree that it is important but if we really want to use them we could be the one to adjust.
If they have a website that could be used as a wallet then we could use it with our mobile phones.
What would happen if every crypto would create their own mobile wallet would you download it all?
And besides mobile wallet isn't so secured at all.

You can just have one wallet where all tokens can be stored there. Many of them actually works this way like Trustwallet where you can store BNB, BTC, ETH and just about anything that is there. You can also put all your coins on coinomi and tokenpocket as most of the coins can be sent on these wallets as long as you create a wallet on it. You don't need to download all, the tokens created today may soon be stored in one wallet. Just make sure you still have the password and privatekey saved.

Note that mobile wallet is used in small transactions and it also has its limitations. It can be easily stolen or broken from the hand. This increases the chances of losing the wallet. It can be easily hacked. As a result, it is not safe to keep a large number of coins or USD.

No doubt about bitcoin mobile wallets, but he was talking about wallet for new projects, even there are plenty of projects that have been operating for year's but don't have any official mobile wallets available for smartphone. I have only 3 mobile wallets for different coins and it really makes it easier to transact.

Even though the mobile wallet provides the ease in the sense of portability, with the multiple authentications such as email, SMS, Google Authenticator, etc., it won't be easy to perform transactions. Also when it comes for big transactions, most of the people prefer desktops or laptops as that is more user-friendly than mobiles.

for listing on global private wallets such as Atomic, Coinomi or others need extra fees...
It seems that developers who are serious about their project will definitely work with a private wallet to help investors deposit their coins. Currently, there are still many coins that do not have a place in global private wallets but are listed on major exchanges such as Binance and Kucoin.

The importance of having a mobile wallet as against the desktop wallet cannot be overemphasised. The mobile wallet brings a great deal of flexibility and convenience. Users of a coin should have access to their wallet app without restrictions and this can be accomplished faster with the mobile wallet

While you are right there are several explanations of why this is the case, to begin with a new coin is not going to be accepted in a lot of places if you want to make a purchase, so most likely developers figure out that you are not going to need the ability to move your coins with you too much during the early stages of development so they concentrate themselves on creating a desktop version of their wallet while neglecting a mobile version.

Another reason for this to happen is simply that they lack the resources, they do not have enough people to work on both projects, and finally if the project is a scam then the developers know that a mobile wallet is useless because their coin is never going to be accepted anywhere so why bother?

It depends on the type of crypto that is issued. Recently (during the defi trend), 90% of new projects have only issued smartcontract based tokens. So, building the own mobile wallet is useless and just a waste of time that could be used for other developments. In fact, many wallets are multi-device for storing such tokens like MEW (web wallet), or some supported third party mobile wallets. These wallets can certainly be an alternative for non-PC users.

I think most of the projects do have mobile wallets now, maybe you participated in the initial sale of a completely new blockchain project which is not compatible with existing wallets, in that case you cannot do anything but wait for developers to come up with their mobile wallet.

I wonder who still have the time to download those pc wallets,cause it's old stuff now, mobile wallets are much easier and faster to use rather than pc wallets, I think mobile wallets should be made(developed)first, even before they consider making a pc wallet, cause just as you said there are more mobile phone users than pc users, also you can take your phone around while your pc is normally at home, imagine if you want to make a transaction and it's not a Mobile wallet so you have to run back home to use the pc?.
Yeah hardware wallets are the best, but mate OP is actually talking about new projects that only create pc wallets rather than Mobile wallets.

You are right. The risk of using a cellular wallet will be to lose money if their cellphone is lost or damaged. Unless they back up the private key and public key securely. But the problem is, many cellular wallet holders don't back up their private and public keys.

This is why there is the need to also keep a copy of your private key in usb drive, a redundant copy of your privatekey to a hidden directory to your drive. ITs  security risk but losing your phone will be riskier than not having a copy of your logins.

But at least put a security code to your pone as well. Wallet app has passwords too, making it complicated for anyone who stole/found your phone.

Of course Mobile wallet is more important,
Because many of us who are associated with cryptocurrency use Mobile wallet.
However, I would like to draw the attention of the seniors to the best and trusted mobile wallet.

There are over 41 million crypto wallet users right now. And a large number of people use and manage their crypto wallets from their mobile phones. Becasue its easy and much convenient to use. So I think the crypto project should be focusing on having their wallet for web version and mobile version first so that both types of users will have easy access.

Mobile wallet is very important to me because everyone has phone all the time so mobile wallet needs to be first. So I would say TrstWallet is also a good reason because it has its own privet key. And Jay wallets have their own keys, the chances of them being hacked are very low. There are many such wallets, I think the gula is much better.

Ninety nine percent of people around the world use smartphones today and many don't have time to stick around with laptops or PC, smartphones are easier to carry on the go, that's why developers must be smart enough to know that mobile wallets will bring more users to their projects than windows or Linux wallets

I have Electrum and Mycelium best for holding and transferring BTC between mobile wallets. Metamask and trustwallet best for ETH Blockchain. We should not hold asset in any exchange wallet. Exchange wallets do not have a private key. Our asset can be lost from time to time. We always have the private keys of Electrum, Mycelium, metamask and Trustwallet. So the chances of losing the asset are very low. These apps can be used on pc. But pc is not always close.

Do not be fooled to think that a project that has a mobile wallet will automatically get liked neither. This is something that is both necessary but not guaranteed of success at the same time. If you do not have it, you could still be worth a lot of money, but if you have it you could worth nothing as well, yet when you are good AND have it, that would be the best of both worlds and you could totally get a big use out of it as well.

What can I say, this is a world where nothing guarantees your success but if you do all of it, that will definitely help you when you combine all these little things together. I am following a project that has a mobile wallet for example and it worths absolutely nothing in the end, like a few cents and the market cap is few hundred thousand dollars, that's it.

If it is significant relies upon the user, I do concur that mobile wallet is essential these days and simply feel more advantageous however another task generally inadequate with regards to the asset to make one consequently they choose to make work area or web wallet just to try things out. I likewise lean toward ventures that have mobile wallets since I think that its more helpful to utilize.

many people still think that mobile wallets are too dangerous to keep there large amounts of coins so they prefer usual online wallets. if you lose your telephone with mobile wallet installed someone could get all your coins.

That will happen if only he will be able to guess your mobile password, and then guess wallets password. Mobiles with Android I think it is possible to install a software, even on a locked device and unlock it. With iOS - probably impossible. Even Apple say that if user sets a password to unlock, they are not able to unlock it (at least they say so).

I find it really uncomfortable using web wallets, it feels like each time I need to make a transaction I have to run back home to use my pc, which i don't find cool at all, mobile wallets are more convenient to use, because I'm always with my phone even when I go out unlike my pc that is always at home, but I don't know why new projects still prefer creating pc wallets instead of mobile wallets, after all there are more mobile than pc users, not everyone own a pc, that's wh most investors who don't have pc get turned off .

Many people think that way but it was before. Right now, people do prefer their wallet to be on their mobile phone because it is more convenient than using a desktop wallet. And if ever that the phone was lost or get stolen, I am sure, the owner will always have his own private key to open his wallet using the other device.

Not all projects are meant to create their own wallet because they offer a different services and listing on an exchange is already enough for them. We can ask the exchanges to have a more compatible feature for a mobile user and I think some good exchange already have this one. We have our local mobile wallet which perfectly run for many purposes and we’re so lucky to have this one, its coinsph. :)

I already learned my lesson when it comes in mobile wallets especially on the wallets from the past not just for btco, I remember downloading many wallets before for different altcoins or ICO projects before but when I changed phone I didn't able to backup them and when return to see those amount, their prices almost have no value now. So it will better to only have one or few wallet that we know we will able to backup as well to monitor.

Besides that, I think ERC20 also provides a lot of wallet options, right? Metamask, myetherwallet and others. everything also supports mobile wallets. I think you misunderstand that all projects must make a mobile wallet, because not all projects have the same goal in terms of feature development

I agree with your opinion. Mobile wallet is an important issue to cryptocurrencies since we are living in the mobile era. A person currently have at least a smartphone in their pocket. Smartphone has become an important part of our life since it was created. Most of our activities are recorded on this tiny invention.

If you truly want to become successful with your blockchain project, having a mobile wallet is never a bad idea. Customers are in need of this feature

I agree that most people especially those in poor countries value their phones over computers.

When they have to buy an electronic device it's always going to be a phone first and they rather spend more money to buy a decent phone than put the same money into a cheap computer so using a mobile wallet allows the coin to reach bigger audience.

On the other hand mobile wallets can have more issues and be less stable than desktops and devs usually start tests with a desktop wallet so they have those anyway without having to develop additional mobile software.

I don't know what project you are talking about, I do agree that mobile wallet is very important, but from what I see at least in this year, most -if not all- of projects already provide mobile wallet, either for Android or iOS. My concern is that some of their wallet can only be downloaded on directly from the website, and it is not listed in playstore/appstore, where we can assure that their wallet is not containing any malicious program.

I understand what you mean. I had been experiencing such a problem with EOS. When the crypto was in its infancy stage, there were EOS desktop apps only. This factor made EOS not so "handy" and easy in use. That's why when some mobile wallets (Atomic, Lumi, OWNR) added support, the crypto became more demanded.

mobile wallets are safer in many aspects, this should be more considered by many developers. I respect developers who launch cellular wallets because it helps token owners or investors to more safely store assets

Yes, all of that is just a matter of time and crypto development in the realm of wallets, and people who are always patient in crypto and always learn new things to gain knowledge are extraordinary people, now there are so many wallets that can be used in crypto, depending on someone needs to wear it.

To be honest, I don't use mobile wallets that often. I only use it when it's urgent, or absolutely necessary. however, for some people, that's a good thing, and easy. Well, I don't blame this, because developers need to push themselves, that they need to consider the convenience, and convenience of each user.

I think you should consider the issue being encounter on the mobile wallet for example the metamask and others there are lots of fake app being deployed in the play store and these bad people are exploiting the convenience that we are experiencing making it the way to stole money from people, if you are aware there are  lots of news the people lost money, not only a wallet but also other some application for crypto here is one:

https://www.independent.sco.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/android-app-cryptocurrency-fake-clipper-bitcoin-scam-money-a8773376.html

yes it's easy but we have to be very careful because we might be the future victim if we don't check it properly

Almost all replies under this topic are getting the whole point wrong, OP is talking about new projects, this isn't a debate between mobile wallets vs PC wallets, I guess people aren't reading this days, most new projects runs on different chains, meaning standalone separate blockchain and wallet, what OP is saying is new projects like releasing windows and Linux wallets only, excluding mobile wallets and those who don't have windows PC won't be able to invest because of lack of mobile wallet, not all new coins will get listed on wallets like trust wallet and others

For me, who prefers to use a PC to make cryptocurrency transactions, it is not important if projects don't have a mobile wallet.
So in my opinion everyone has different tastes, so some are comfortable using a mobile wallet, some are not. Because for me
a mobile wallet is only a complement, it is not a necessity for new projects to have a mobile wallet.

I agree with you, I also do that like you do about transacting whether it's large or small, I often do it on a PC if I want to transact large amounts, because I doubt if transacting large amounts on a Mobile wallet and certainly have a risk of losing In my opinion, the Mobile Wallet is designed for users who are walking, or having dinner, or also on vacation, very suitable for using the Mobile Wallet, because it will make it easier for us as users of the Mobile Wallet app, but in fact almost all projects have provided a wallet. for their coins, so that users can have it easy and all come back to the development team, how they apply and what kind of concept they want to develop in the future ...

The main reason for liking a mobile wallet is it is easy to access you only need mobile data and you can now use your wallet where ever you are unlike PC that you need to be at home to transfer your funds to another wallet. That's the reason why many people prefered it and want a project to have their own mobile wallet it's easy for them to do that if they have enough funding they can hire developer if ever they need help .

The ease in use of mobile wallet makes transactions easy and swift however developers who had not build their mobile wallets are probably taking their time to fix it vulnerability we all aware of surging cases of hackers gaining access to the vulnerable wallets, exchanges e.t.c and stealing coins, there maybe some bugs that might not easily detected in course of using the wallet where hackers can capitalize and gain easy access to the wallet, I believed its every plan to introduce mobile wallet after the PC version however it must be well perfected and free from any bug before releasing it online.

Hello, If you're looking a project who can develop a mobile wallet I will recommend to you Elrond.com its a sPOS system to secured the network. And they will release the mobile app by the January 31, 2021 that is the game changer for me. You can download the app on google/ app store by you need to wait until the official launch.

In 2017 I couldn't mine some new coins because they have no mobile wallet, you have to sync the whole blockchain before making transactions, I had no choice but to find another new coins that have mobile wallets, it makes things more easier and convenient, I invested in Veil coin because I see the project as a gem in disguise, I had to borrow my friend PC to create Veil wallet just to have my recovery seed and address, today I can't even see my coins in wallet since I have no PC and even if I had one  I would have to sync the whole blockchain that have grown higher over Gigabytes in size. I'm with you OP, mobile wallet is way better

I'm not storing my coins in my mobile but I do understand the concern, majority of the people here in this world own a mobile and majority of the people are also aware or in fact using a mobile wallet, that is why so many popular desktop wallets like Exodus had one, so for token developer it's important that you have one for the community.

Indeed, more people use mobile wallets than PC wallets now.  Mobile wallets are much more convenient to use than wallets，due to almost every people have a mobile phone， and we are  welded to our smartphones.   A sucess project should have builted their mobile wallets.

Honestly if any new project doesn't work on mobile wallet first they are missing out big time, I remember when I was trying to promote an item through affiliate, the item will only reward me if PC users visit the link and I used a paid marketing tool to advertise the item, guess what? Out of 20,000 visitors I got only 4,579 or so are PC users, the rest are on mobile phone, if you are a developer let that sink in.

That actually depends on the person what device they are often using. There are people who prefer to use web wallet because they are more spending time using their personal computer, while there are people who are preferring to use mobile wallets because they want it to be convenient when they want to buy or sell especially when they are not in their house since you can access your wallet as long as you have an internet connection, you can always check your holdings.

But sometimes mobile can't be that so powerful the same as PC. I understand that mobile becomes a trend in many industries. Even in web developing industries where they prefer a website to be acceesible and readable in mobile devices.
The convenience is there in mobile for specific purpose but it's not having the same capabilities as the desktop machines we got.

Every device wallet important for all crypto users. Actually i like to choice pc wallet then mobile wallet because at now i have hold some old coin and still on pc wallet. But for bounty program i use mobile wallet which not fixed. At least many people use mobile wallet for there opportunity.

Veil privacy coin had this issue with their wallet, kept synchronizing and synchronizing  with their heavy files. I eventually abandoned them and deleted nthe app housing my coins, just won't need it. Mobile wallet or integration with other existing wallets is important.

Mobile wallet is just the best, easy to access and use anytime, I believe all project should work on developing a mobile app, so all cryptocurrency enthusiast can access it and make use of it at any time.

The mobile wallet is more convenient for newbies but it doesn't offer something special for average users. Everything the traders can do with mobile wallets can be done through the web wallets and the security of desktop or web wallets are better compared to risks injected malware on rooted smartphones. Mobile wallets are good as hot wallets because the malware will not able to steal more than 1 BTC in case of getting hacked. My advice is to avoid downloading third-party applications from external sources because the malware can be inside the installation package of cracked Android apps.

Sometimes I get paranoid waiting for blocks to finish syncing on desktop wallet, windows precisely. It's true that most crypto enthusiasts use mobile wallets more often, compared to desktop wallet. This year, I've used desktop wallets for transactions just very few times, but I often use mobile wallet precisely trust wallet. Any project without mobile wallet, not really my thing.

Yes, a mobile wallet is important nowadays. But some project takes time to develop mobile wallets. If your project roadmap said that the development will be available in the next six months. After that time if they didn't develop or didn't post any update. Then take that project as a scam or dead project. They are not going to keep their words in the future.

no doubt about usage mobile wallet for average users, but regarding to the security of the mobile wallet you only generelize for rooted smartphone though the number of rooted smartphone users are lower that unrooted smartphone users. So for them who don't root their device it should be safe enough to use in normal transaction activities.

Then, one of the reason the porject don't build the mobile wallet is the cost to build it. If the porject see the opportunities of customer satisfaction that gain the profit they will consider the building of mobile wallet in its roadmap. Please check deeper before you decide to invest so you will not regret.

very true, why do you have to make a platform option with a wallet if that is not what the project is designed for? I think the wallet problem can be resolved with a third party wallet provider that has good credibility and security, the rest just focus on building the platform.

Hmm, this is the first time I have heard that our mobile wallet can be affected by malware on our smartphones because as far as I'm concern I have not encountered any problem on mobile wallet on my almost four years in this crypto world.

Could you educate us more on this malware on mobile wallet mate?

That is what befalls the new task on the grounds that huge numbers of that undertaking can not run their venture as long as possible. Huge numbers of the ventures drop their undertaking or quit building up the task in light of numerous components we don't have a clue. Moreover, in as much as building up a portable wallet makes a stage look genuine, one actually should be cautious since building up a versatile wallet is a certain something and keeping up it through more Improvements is another, and this is the place where most group are discovered needing.

Why must a crypto user root his or her phone? That's not already a safe process, rooting an android phone isn't secured anymore and can easily be infected with malwares, there is more that meet the eye when it comes to a rooted phone, it automatically becomes a open door where anyone can come in and go out when they like.

Mobile wallet is more important as we know it but some new projects must first finish their windows software wallets because it's part of their use case, you don't get ? Here is an example, some complained about LCC project not having mobile wallet but the PC wallet has inbuilt miner where everyone can mine the coin but can mobile wallet handled mining? So if they built mobile wallet its just for sending coins, so yes the PC wallet must come first to back up the project use case and mobile wallet may come later

Yes, it all depends on the user, each user has a different way of storing their assets, there is someone who really likes to store in an online wallet, some do indeed store in a hardwere wallet, or some do save on a smartphone wallet,
of all easy and portable wallets are smartphone wallets such as the Trust wallet or Atomic wallet, or Exodus, but the risk is that when the smartphone is hacked all your assets will be lost in a few minutes.

I agree that mobile wallets are very important nowadays, because most of our daily activities are done on smartphones.
Therefore it is very important for new projects to have a mobile wallet, this will make it easier for users to make transactions.
And also with the existence of a mobile wallet, it will add value to these projects. So don't be surprised that projects that
already have a mobile wallet can be more attractive to investors, compared to projects that only rely on desktop wallets.

This criterion usually includes new projects, I have observed that most of the new projects have such a concept but in the end it does not match what they present in their roadmap, even for more than 1 year they are also still having trouble developing a mobile wallet. Even though we know that mobile wallets are important and also easy to use by crypto users.

It depends on the use case, if the project is a payment solution then they will definitely build a mobile wallet at launch because payment solution with work better on the go but some projects have inbuilt utilities that can you work on windows wallet or Linux, the possibility of making it work on mobile device may bring delays so thy keep postponing mobile wallet launch

Most project now have it in plan to establish a mobile wallet for its token holders and they also make their wallet multi-user so to accommodate other coins. Alternatively is to use a good multi wallet or hardware wallet to store your coins.

Mobile wallets are very important for daily activities outside the home. When we forget to bring money, the presence of a mobile wallet is very helpful for making payments. So, we don't need to panic or be afraid when we don't carry money wherever we are.

I've not see one happened to me before but rooting your phone can make someone spy on you easily, should we call that malware or probably spyware? The trick is physically sending a file to your phone and hide in within your files in your storage or make you download the spyware file through link, the work is on and on the other phone you will be able to see whatever the person is doing, typing, words, downloads etc....

The mobile wallet that I still use today is a trust wallet because so far it's the only wallet that is very easy to use and can be accessed anywhere without having to use a laptop or a device like a PC again.

If there is a way we can screen all humans in this world we will see that mobile users are in billions over laptop users or PC users, a smart developers will surely consider a mobile wallet instead of windows wallet first, people like bringing along their mobile instead of PC, it's more convenient, I've invested on some altcoins in the past because they have mobile wallet available, very easy

That's the struggle but the mobile wallet can be used without downloading blockchain means it's rather centralized wallet.
The case of huge update with the blockchain could be solved by using vps though it's not that secure I guess. I think wallet like mycrypto is really practical nowadays.

At first, I am relying on Metamask and MEW to deposit and withdraw my assets. Right now, I like mobile wallets (especially decentralized ones like Trust Wallet). It's easy and handy for me to send and receive transactions. Especially that Trust Wallet has WalletConnect feature, it's easy for me to connect and disconnect it to Uniswap.

convenience for users is something that needs to be prioritized because it is the user who uses the product. basically humans are always looking for things that are easy, comfortable, and safe. I personally really agree if the wallet in the form of a smartphone can be made immediately because it is more practical for user.
 there were several projects that I participated in, I had to install the PC version of the wallet, finally as a way out I saved my assets in an exchange wallet because I was so lazy to have to open the PC many times.

When using Metamask I don't think it can be used for mobile wallets, now if you talk about trust wallets for mobile wallets then I really agree with what you say because it is the best trust wallet.

that is one of the factors but it does not guarantee that if a project has a platform on a smartphone it will be successful because at this time it is very easy to create a mobile phone platform because there are so many web app makers that you can make apps by drag and drop so you still have to select and analyze the project. which you will choose

I dont trust mobile wallets created by its own crypto company. 90% of the time scammers are using their own crypto wallets to scam their users by telling theres a bug, theres an exploit. Anyway this is applicable only to ERC20 coins.

the more features, the more vulnerable a system is. I don't deny that mobile wallets are very easy to use and more flexible, but the presence of the internet and the increasing number of hacking methods make mobile wallet owners insecure.

It is not recommended to store large amounts of assets in wallets that have many features such as mobile wallets. You can use some of the assets for spending needs to be stored in a mobile wallet.

Yes, I agree with you. It's too frustrating when new projects are taking too long, time to build their mobile wallet. Now a days mobile wallet is a such important thing to do you all activities as like exchange, buy and sell easily. My suggestion or opinion to the new projects will be to keep some focus with the mobile wallet and they must try to avail their mobile wallet with their project at a glance.

Ofcourse changing platforms would have a separate kind of risk but mobile apps are more secured now than before. There are many established mobile wallets that are supporting ERC20 and ERC721 tokens, If the project token is supported by those established wallets, why not bother transferring it. I didn't have any issues regarding security in my non-custodial mobile wallets for a long time now.

I agree with that some users really preferred mobile wallets but some serious investors doesn't store their big investment to mobile wallet they much prefer software wallets I think most developer doesn't consider small investors just imagine the number of small investors they should be noticed too.

It yes true that we are in the new area since ATH success however there is a hard wallet where you can use instead of phone however in my country we had this kind of wallet which is application create one of the best I.T in my country where it is link in into bank where you can easily withdraw your bitcoin into cash. If you wanting to have such wallet in the future maybe lots of developers are thinking the same way you think but they thinking the big lose for those who use it in the future first of all it is a big data to be collect if they wanted to create one. You cant force people to invest because there's no easy way , i just want to say too that theres no easy way for us to make money unless we are born billionaire already.

I don't really think that people give importance to the wallet which was created by the team itself because people want their coins to be listed on reputed multi coin supported wallet if they really love to send and receive their coins from their mobile devices.

And that could be also a reason why people are creating tokens instead of coins so they don't need separate blockchain, they just simply run their project over existing blockchain like ethereum, Tron,etc and also investors can simply add their tokens into their mobile wallets.

Mobile wallet is more convenient but it is not "have to be" there for satisfying the users. If the team has collected limited funds on the token sale period, no one should blame the team members for the lack of apps on different OS. Maybe the investors will demand the mobile wallet and they will think about releasing it. The mobile wallets can be functional depending on the user expectations but it is not the same for all investors who use the mobile wallet on the daily go.
