Post by: LionBitcoin on June 24, 2018, 01:21:36 PM
Greetings, dear Crypto-enthusiasts :D



I present to you my review of the best wallets for storing BTC digital tokens that allow secure and safe storage of cryptocurrency
on mobile devices with the Android operating system, and also effectively manage Bitcoin. Using the proposed applications,
you can simply and easily send and receive digital coins.



1. Electrum Bitcoin Wallet (https://electrum.org)

Electrum is a fully functional lightweight portable Bitcoin-wallet. Of the pluses, you can note an excellent reputation and
reliable security functions. But there is one downside: periodic problems with the QR-scanner.

Electrum Bitcoin Wallet is widely known in the community of crypto enthusiasts, as a popular light client for storing Bitcoin
with support for Android devices. This application allows you to generate a phrase for recovery from 12 words and at the
same time users have access to a private key, which allows them to easily send BTC coins to another wallet if necessary.

In the meantime, Electrum Bitcoin Wallet offers the mandatory creation of a 6-digit PIN code, which further will be used to
confirm payments.

2. MyCelium Bitcoin Wallet (https://wallet.mycelium.com)

MyCelium can provide the best level of privacy. The pluses include high user ratings and compatibility with hardware wallets. In this wallet,
there is a minus: lack of support for Segwit (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segregated_Witness).

MyCelium Bitcoin Wallet is one of the most popular Bitcoin wallets. According to the company's website, Mycelium was rewarded with the
"Best Mobile Application" award from Blockchain.info in 2014, and also has the highest rating on Google Play.

The wallet is an application with a completely open source code, which makes it easy to conduct a security analysis and shows that there
are no backdoors from developers that allow the scammer to steal custom BTC coins. The application is easy to use interface and has
a built-in QR-scanner of addresses, as well as an address book for payments.

3. Coinomi Wallet (https://coinomi.com/)

Coinomi allows the management of crypto-currencies, as well as their exchange through one application. The pluses include
support for a large number of crypto-currencies and easy recovery of access to the wallet using a secret phrase. In the
meantime, there is one downside: some users express dissatisfaction with the problems that arise when exchanging coins.

Coinomi Wallet was developed in 2015 and earned a good reputation among users of digital coins. In addition to Bitcoin, it
allows you to safely store digital tokens such as Litecoin, Dash, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and many tokens based on it, as well
as many other altcoins. In the process of setting up the application, it is suggested to select the necessary cryptocurrency for
display in the convenient section "Overview", which also indicates the current market price of the currency and the number
of coins held.

Just like in Electrum, the Coinomi wallet uses a phrase of 12 words to restore access. In the application, there is an opportunity
to set a PIN-code to confirm the execution of monetary operations, but its installation is not necessary.

Download the Coinomi Wallet application can be at this link (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinomi.wallet&hl=en_GB%20).



4. Bitcoin Wallet (https://bitcoin.org/ru/wallets/mobile/android/bitcoinwallet/)

Bitcoin Wallet provides one of the easiest ways to start using Bitcoin. The advantages of the wallet include an intuitive interface and
quick and easy setup of the application. In addition, there are disadvantages: there is no choice of exporting private keys and
transaction commission.

https://pp.userapi.com/c848628/v848628335/ff17/y48ZG_25Xuw.jpg

Bitcoin Wallet is a completely free Bitcoin storage application with open source and support for Android devices. There is no need to set a
mnemonic phrase to restore access and create a PIN. In this case, the wallet allows users to immediately start managing the cryptocurrency.

The application has an address book and has a very simple interface. The balance of users is displayed in mBTC and in a different currency.
Here, the ease of use of the wallet has led to a decrease in the level of security. It should be noted that Bitcoin Wallet provides cold storage
of Bitcoin.

5. GreenBits Bitcoin Wallet (https://greenbits.ru.aptoide.com/)

GreenBits - the fast and trustworthy wallet for storing Bitcoin and managing crypto-currencies. The advantages include the
highest level of security and instant payments. And in the meantime, the wallet has one minus: a long time installing the software.

GreenBits Bitcoin Wallet is a secure open-source Bitcoin wallet. It has a cross-platform interface and is also available on Android.
In addition, the wallet has an extension GreenAddress Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/greenaddress/dgbimgjoijjemhdamicmljbncacfndmp), which allows you to manage BTC coins from any device that uses
the Google Chrome browser.

It should also be noted that users of GreenBits Bitcoin Wallet can instantly exchange crypto-coins without the need to wait for
confirmation with the help of a block system that can take several hours or even several days. In addition, each payment is vested
with its own unique "hash", which prevents fraud by double spending coins.
