So is this application just being developed in Playstore? previously I never tried using an application related to Bitcoin because I was worried that my assets would be lost. Is this application harmless? if the Bitcoin toolbox application is still more growing again maybe I will try to use it another time.

It is developed in cross platform environment so it is not a big deal to publish for iOS too.
Depends on the users , if people like it i may spend time to provide an iOS release.

This application is based in Latest nBitcoin Library none of the user's info is stored or captured in any way and someone with the technical background can confirm this by checking the network traffic while working on this App.

The reason why i developed this piece of software is simple!
My Private keys means- > My bitcoins.

Yet no one generates keys or seeds as everyone is afraid of the process.
We should get 'closer' to the bitcoin software.
There is not even ONE application out there safe enough to generate a Bitcoin Address this is crazy!

I will keep updating this application as i believe it will help our community.

Thank you for your feedback!

I havent heard this app , but I think I will let other people use this before I trust this application, no offense but I rather be sure that it has no malware that are being secretly installed inside this software, there are so many of them nowadays and it hard for us to trust wallets because it might steal our money.

Sounds nice, but why don't you simply use one of the popular crypto exchanges' apps? I mean for example Coinbase Pro or CoinDeal Pro. It's better to use your checked and reliable platforms, especially when you have your account there.

I also think the same way, it just that there are possible things that may happen and we are just assuring ourselves that our funds and assets are in a good place. I'm not also familiar with it but i'm looking forward if someone has a good feedback about it or i'll just do my own research to make sure because we can't easily say that the app is safe. Actually it's true that it is literally hard to trust anyone or anything these days because you can't easily tell their true intentions they can effortlessly deceive you if you don't have enough understanding,also they can either be beneficial to us or not so if you are interested on downloading the app then it is better if you look for some thoughts and opinions of others about it or just do some research.

Exchanges are 100% centralized , you dont have control over your funds.
If the exchange gets hacked or something your bitcoins are lost.
Keeping your private keys or mnemonic seed is the true meaning of Bitcoin.
Not your keys not your Bitcoin

Your way of thinking is ok as far as safety is concerned.
But this is the reason why projects like this are open source.
So you know exactly what is 'happening' when you perform an action if you review the source code.

Thank you for your time and thank you for expressing your opinion
It is highly appreciated!

There are lots of applications found in playstore with good and positive reviews. We're opposite cause I worry when my application was downloaded somewhere in open internet it always shows a warning which I think is a potential malware.

The application I Developed is being distributed through Google Play Store , not ' the open internet ' .
Secondly there are not Android Applications where you can generate Private Keys or mnemonic Seeds in  a safe way , only wallet services provide this.
Finally this application does not have reviews as it just got published 2 days ago!
I understand your worries , just need some feedback as i just published it 2 days ago!

Thank you for your time appreciate your feedback!

Yes that's what I'm worried about. I want others to see first using this application how the reaction is, because I just heard of the application and whether many are using it, I haven't gotten positive feedback from users.

I have to say that I'm always very suspicious when it comes to new crypto related apps. Too many of them are designed for scam, not for benefit of users.
It's hard to control such apps but they all should be properly tested before put into production and personally I would never use any app that that wasn't from some legitimate source and has certain level of trust.

I like the design and the color scheme it just gives me the creeps when seeing the hooded man on it that has came out from deep web in my opinion just take that out and put something more friendly, It is the symbol for the deep web that I think most people would surely take a second thought on using your wallet, Although the Idea is great I think that will be the problem that I am seeing I really like the thing you work out here, but I think to provide assurance that this can be trustworthy a trial on your wallet is needed,

Heard feedback like this again !
I'm gonna definitely change it in the next Update!
Thank you

I guess the technical people could help the community review your app.  You should probably move it to Development & Technical Discussion section for such review and better technical inputs. I like your claims on the privacy parts.

This is an extraordinary claim, I guess. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".

Keeping in mind that I am talking about mobile applications and specifically for Android .

A simple search in Google Play store can persuade you.
The store is full of scam apps .

Bitcoin is about keypairs , private keys public keys mnemonic seeds etc.

I doubt there is one application to cover this need in Play Store

Looks like a nice app, but i have some questios...

1.-why you don't do it open source and add the code to github? this way you could get more developers interested in the project.

2.-What service or api you use to make the bitcoin calls?

And to provide evidence he needs to giveaway coins so people will try to download the developed wallet.  :-X

Its not easy to promote wallet these days since there are just people who are just not open to install new and if the old wallets they have installed aren't broken, there isn't the need to find a new one. They trusted on wallet and they may not trust other wallet anymore, that's the challenge for you OP.

It is a very good initiative to develop a Bitcoin application that is some way, decentralized but you have posted this in the wrong section of the forum. This part of the forum is for discussing issues specifically related to bitcoin. You should move this post to Development & Technical Discussion section of the forum. There you will get a good technical review of your application..

Of course It is Open  Source !! You can find the source code in GitHub searching for "open Bitcoin tools"!

Using network calls only to get unspent to sign transaction & get address info the API used is block chain.info

Better if you share the github link in the OP. I was looking for the github link as well. I'm maintaining a list for Bitcoin Android Wallet and hopefully I will be interested to list your wallet as well.
It seems interesting since it can create all the address types. I would recommend to have a flexible feature for Lightning Network. This may attract some users; at least I would give it a try.

I really like the thing you work out here, but I think to provide assurance that this can be trustworthy a trial on your wallet is needed,

I agree about this, his project looks good but since I have trust issues, I guess I'll for some future update also about the feedbacks of users who downloaded and uses his app. I'm too paranoid where I think he will have a data base about the users private keys and he will secretly stole their bitcoins since OP is anonymous, something like that, lol. Please forgive me, no offense OP.

Haha I can feel you! You should never trust anything in this paranoid crypto world!

Guys just a reminder! This is not a wallet it is a toolbox , you can get new addresses with this tool , restore your address knowing your private stuff , get address info AND send a transaction using the most transparent way ( generating and broadcasting hex transaction ).

Of course It is Open  Source !! You can find the source code in GitHub searching for "open Bitcoin tools"!

The repository is
https://github.com/DMU-DEV/OpenBitcoinTools?files=1
But don't list it with other wallet repos since it is not a wallet !

Thank you guys!
Your feedback is AWESOME!

Is this application open source?

All bitcoin wallets should be open source.

I will suggest that you add this feature, coin control. Allowing users to chose which input they want to spend. Very few wallets do that in android.

Of course it is open source as described in the post above !

That's a great addition!
This is not exactly a wallet as I mentioned though, more like a toolbox i should say!

Thank you for your idea!
Appreciate it

Same here even i haven't heard about this app. How can we trust it, if there is no such malware software secretly installed inside and there is no issue with this application then defenetly I'll use it.

As it is developed recently i do understand that it's difficult to get reviews and if it is a positive feedback then it's good.

I do appreciate your work have patience.

Nice app idea btw, but I can't download and use it because it was just recently released with just few reviews and download on playstore. I don't trust reviews sometimes, especially on new products. And also, the app interface looks creepy like it is from the dark web. Make the design more friendly.
And btw, this is supposed to be in Project Development Section. You should move it there.


Title: Re: A new Bitcoin Android Application
Post by: Beparanf on November 27, 2019, 02:51:36 PM
The idea, initiative is great knowing you do it OP all by yourself. I'll try to install it with my spare android phone that I'm not using in crypto to see how it really works.

And also, the app interface looks creepy like it is from the dark web. Make the design more friendly.

Please take note this too. It's better a simple interface than a dark one. Or add option to enable a white background than dark.

Really pleasant to see or to learn about people that try to create something, to develop different things in the crypto world. But personally I try not to use different applications for crypto assets except those that I trust to. Because there are too many risks to lose your coins. Especially all the apps that are from google play. May be they are good for other purposes, but for crypto assets they are really dangerous. I saw your words like this - "Planned Additions
*Add Security Prompt for Rooted Users
*Implement Encrypted Key Vault to save Private Keys Generated
*Bitcoin QR Tools".... It is good that such things are planned, but personally I still trust more to cold wallets and so on.... But will keep this news in mind))))))
