Bitcoin Forum

Hello guys,

Which is your favourite mobile wallet?

Until now I have been online using bitcoin core on my PC, as it felt the safest way.
What are good alternatives, not always have to synchronize the blockchain.

Especially for iOS. I am fuddling with Coinbase and Blockchain mobile Apps right now.

seen this ? - https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

yes, I saw that. But unfortunately there arent many listed.

I would only use a popular wallet.

MyCelium is my android wallet.

Electrum and Bitcoin core for the PC.

Why don't you make a poll ?

Without a shadow of a doubt, it's breadwallet (https://itunes.apple.com/app/breadwallet/id885251393). I don't get it how people can still favor Blockchain.info's (cr)app.

That's for iOS. For Android, it's Mycelium (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycelium.wallet).

For Windows Phone, I think there is no wallet app yet? 

I would go for Mycelium is I were you , pretty popular and known . also you can buy and sell Bitcoins there ;)

Probably you should check out some of the reviews posted over here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=967273.0
If you are on android, the best would be mycelium. Hive is also cool if you are into social networks kind of thing. Anyway, if you are on IOS, there's only like 4 options available to choose from and among those, Hive is one which I've seen works the same both on android and ios. 

i think Mycelium is the most favourite mobile wallet
and then blockchain.info

MyCelium has been around for a while and has built a good rep for mobile wallet.

MyCelium for sure is the best option for mobile devices

Running Mycelium on android here.

I suggest you GreenBits (http://blog.greenaddress.it/tag/greenbits/). Here the forum topic :

blockchain do have a mobile wallet as well https://blockchain.info/wallet/android-app i am using this most trusted and very lite

Andreas Schildbach's is fine.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=100.0

Bitcoin-qt works well. https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet : most wallets are listed here by the Bitcoin foundation.

Mycelium is my mobile wallet of choice.

I've become a big fan of GreenBits (from GreenAddress.it (https://greenaddress.it/) guys) myself. In my opinion it has the best security (after dedicated hardware wallets) for keeping your coins safe.

but the amount is way off, the online version states my correct balance, the app does some strange calculation. Varying everytime I check, balance way up or way down, always off by 0.02 BTC/5 euros

but it works for paying and getting paid, the last transactions are visible, that is what matters. And my phone needs replacement soon, so not going to bother installing but on my next phone no more blockchaininfo wallet.

QT is not mobile wallet!

For me, it's mycelium.

For mobile i use blockchain it give me notification on each and every transactionalso you can set pin fir fast login .

Actually for Windows Phone there is this wallet option:

For mobile i use blockchain it give me notification on each and every transactionalso you can set pin fir fast login .

These are pretty much your options for iOS:

Can't go wrong with Green Address or Hive I hear.

You should definitely try out breadwallet (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/breadwallet-bitcoin-wallet/id885251393?mt=8) for iOS.

if you're on IOS id reccomend breadwallet , there's no better wallet than that one. I've heard Green adress is decent aswell , but never tried it out.

I mostly use the blockchain app, which is working quite well.

I'm only looking for a solid and safe ios app which I haven't found yet.

Breadwallet. Look no further. It's absolutely the best.

Oh, and on Android, use Mycelium. It's SO much better than blockchain.info's app.

I prefer MyCelium , they provide good security

I have my blockchain,
can I open my blockchain balance's using mycelium to open it ? Like syncing between that wallet

Yes, you can import the private key from your blockchain.info wallet into Mycelium.

Ah nice, that app has been around for a long time, but it used to be restricted to testnet only. Great to see it now supports the actual Bitcoin network. Too bad it's a paid app :-\


I've also seen people using this one for a long time:

https://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/bitcoin/ca65fc5b-14f0-4da4-8e39-e2d4b702b2ea

But for some unknown reason, this was changed to "no longer published" a few months ago. Sucks.


I also hope Copay (https://copay.io/) (by Bitpay) will soon be officially available in the Windows Phone market, right now it's still in Beta.

if you are looking for mobile android wallet...
i read a lot of goot things,
about mycelium...

but never tryed...

i use just wallt- QT

 ;) ;) ;)

yes that's quite easy and awesome

yes this is a great wallet.  just don't use it for mining deposits, as those huge transactions will slow down the wallet significantly.

I am using Coinbase for mobile wallet and everything works just fine. Sure, i hold there only small amount for everyday use.

Agreed, Breadwallet is the best for iOS. HD, open source, free, very clean and secure UX. I had one hiccup some time ago where I couldn't send BTC and I had to reinstall the app, but it has since been updated and now works fine.

I like Mycelium but not as much.

+1 for Airbitz. I went from being a Mycelium guy to Airbitz only for my hot wallet.

http://coinomi.com/ Multicoin HD wallet!

Disadvantage of Coinbase: you need to register an account with some 3rd party. With real Bitcoin wallets, you are your own bank and you don't have to register anything, anywhere.

I tried BlockChain.io and Green Address in my IOS. It would take me huge time to load up my account balance. It was quite slow. I like Green Address, which is neat and easy to use!

Seriously, try breadwallet (https://itunes.apple.com/app/breadwallet/id885251393). On iOS, it hardly gets better than that.

breadwallet isn't better than greenAddress, I didn't try the first one but I can tell you that greenAddress is much better mobile wallet for iOS (multiSig) and greenBits for android wallet.

I am using Mycelium on my iPhone now. I am happy with it.

A lot of people seem to like Mycelium however I have never used them so I cannot speak for how good of a wallet service it is. I personally use blockchain.info because it synches with my web blockchain.info wallet, although they have had a number of security issues in the past

I am also using this wallet in the android

Have you tried coinbase mobile wallet ?  I am using it from a long time. Its my favourite btc wallet. They have offline cold storage to store your bitcoins with 100 % s3curity to avoiding hacking your btc funds.

for mobile wallet MyCelium is a good choice for android smartphone users

Mycelium is da best wallet ever!

I'm using Blockchain. Seem to me better idea to just connect to the blockchain wallet and use it than to have coins on my mobile in case I would loose it or someone stole it.

That's more dangerous, since you have to rely on 3rd party. As long as your wallet are HD wallets, you just have to write down 12 words in order and secure it. When you lose your phone or someone steal it, you can use 12 words to recover your coins. (Mycelium supports PIN to protect from unauthorized actions)

Hive iOS version isn't decentralized AFAIK. I recommend using Breadwallet or Mycelium over Hive. I, however, use Hive as LTC wallet because of the lack of good LTC iOS wallets. ANX is there but it is less secure than Hive.

* Hive use similar deterministic tree structure (BIP39) to Breadwallet, so you may be able to use Hive backup phrases on Breadwallet and vice versa.

Yiu should try Mycelium if you have not tried. It is the best android wallet in the store. It have a very arrong community and active developers.

MyCelium is great for beginners and expert alike but my favorite android wallet is wallet32, it's a HD wallet and has just about everything you need, not sure about signed message option, only just thought of that I will check now and update.
Green address is also a good wallet but has been a bit slow for me lately.

Edit: wallet32 does not have a signed message option, pitty because it's the only thing missing for a good android wallet.

I just love the one from Andreas Schildbach. It works fine and it's reliable. I only trust this wallet! (And for some purposes I also use the wallet from Blockchain.info and Mycelium)

I recommend LUXSTACK on Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luxstack.LUXSTACK.android&hl=en

I think they meant the plain old "Bitcoin Wallet":

Still looking as to which one is the best, but I'm really growing a dislike to the Blockchain.info one

had multiple issues as of late, all related to their API being overwhelmed for some reason.

Give breadwallet (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/breadwallet-bitcoin-wallet/id885251393?mt=8) a try ;)

http://www.coinomi.coms shapeshift integration is up and running! Store all your coins in one wallet and exchange them with coinomi app!

on my android mobile i used mycelium, on my Iphone Breadwallet.

but i try on both of them Green Address and seems very good too.


hehe agree ;) for me is one of the best, looks nice and is simply.

MyCelium for sure is the best option for mobile devices.
