Title: Do you recommend a mobile wallet alternative for Coinomi wallet?
Post by: BitMaxz on February 27, 2019, 11:57:24 PM
Due to bad news about Coinomi wallet from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114778.0
I was forced to switch to a new wallet but the problem is I don't know which wallet is the best alternative for Coinomi wallet as it's one of the best wallets before in mobile.

Could you recommend me any alternative mobile wallet with the same feature as Coinomi wallet? Where all coins from Coinomi are supported?

AFAIK they only did that (send your seed over to Google's spell check) in their Desktop wallet. The Android version wasn't affected.

Now, if you should trust them in the first place, that's something else.

So only Desktop wallet is affected with Google's spell check? Not Android? I thought that also the Android wallet is affected by this.

Anyway, I still looking for alternative wallet to temporary save my coins until we heard a good news about the trending Coinomi issue.

www.blockchain.info is pretty beast as far as security measures and they offer $25+ of free Stellar for verifying your account. They offer a mobile version. Also check out MEWwallet www.myetherwallet.com for alts.

That's right.

And according to them, that was fixed in the latest patch for the Desktop version.

Mycelium and Copay look like best alternatives to Coinomi.  Mycelium has better security but I never used Copay. Just my 2 cents.

I was going to suggest Jaxx but I remember a lot of security issues with Jaxx in the past as well. Probably Trust Wallet[1]? I really only know 3 multi-coin mobile wallets. I suggest doing research about Trust Wallet first though. It's sort of affiliated with Binance if I remember correctly.

As always though, if you're holding big amounts, grabbing a hardware wallet is always heavily recommended.

I like using edge (https://edge.app/). But only for small values, they support some altcoins. myCelium is great too, but I only use their desktop version. And for Bitcoin, there is electrum mobile. But I think if you like coinomi you should stay with them. They are probably the mobile wallet that supports the greater amount of assets.

well it is a closed source wallet with some source code on github which they don't even update unlike their wallet so for all you know they might do a lot of shady things without you knowing it. so it doesn't really matter whether it is only their desktop wallet or android wallet. you shouldn't be using it in first place.

Imtoken 2.0 is a very good mobile wallet too. I have never had any issues from the times of Imtoken 1.0(supported only Ethereum and tokens from ethereum Network)

Imtoken 2.0 is an improved version since it has cross chain support for Bitcoin,EOS and Ethereum. The only downside is if you have other coins that Coinomi supported like Dash,Digibyte etc you may have to look for more wallets

I thought that their mobile wallet was also included so that made me check my funds there but nothing happened.

For some other mobile wallets, you can have this preference --> https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
