Title: Best Bitcoin Wallet for iOS? [Not Supporting S2X & will keep my Bitcoin safe]
Post by: conqu3rer on October 18, 2017, 03:12:50 AM
Guys, ever since the Breadwallet blog post came up, I'm worried that Bread might have sold out to the S2X devs. Because they'll be supporting the miner's chain & not the original core afaik.

(I may have interpreted that wrong, please correct me if I'm wrong).

I currently use an iPhone which is in my opinion much safer than any Android or Windows device.
So can someone please list the Best Wallets recommended for iPhone right now? The ones NOT supporting the S2X coin & will keep my Bitcoins safe from the fork.

Thanks.

You did interpret it wrong... did you not read the whole post or something? ???

Why isn’t Bread picking a side?
We are picking a side. We side with our users. And even though many of our users strongly disagree with one another about the merits of Chain A or Chain B, it is not our job to tell any of them what to think. Bread is comprised of a group of individuals, any of whom will gladly give you their personal opinion on the matter, but as a company we have to stay true to our two promises: Keep customer funds safe, and give customers a choice.

They are not explicitly supporting ANY chain... by design, SPV wallets will follow whatever turns out to be the main chain... it *could* be S2X, it *could* be Core... Bread, by default, will just use whatever is the longest chain... UNLESS you take the precautions they talk about (tethering the app to a specific node working on a specific chain etc).

Also, their #1 recommendation is: Do Nothing!

The safest course of action is to refrain from making transactions until the fork confusion is resolved. This is our #1 recommendation to users.
They even go as far as to warn about the issues around replay protection...

Not quite sure how you interpreted ANY of that article as "Bread Devs back S2X" ???

Blockchain.info would be my go to choice for iOS Bitcoin wallet. Have been since without any problems. And how you can convert to ETH on the go though the fees are very high.

I have been using Jaxx, but after seeing people talk highly of block blockchain.info I might give it a try.

Don't. Blockchain is far away from being a good option. If you are looking for an iOS wallet, try Airbitz.

Also, always try to choose a wallet based on that: Cold wallet -> Hardware Wallet -> Software wallet -> Online/Web wallet.
