MY REVIEW ON MIXIN SAFEFirstI would like to clear that although at first I was very skeptical the service because of the much requirement of apps needed to actually activate or use the service but after successful using I think the service is kinda cool though.
So firstly,I downloaded the mixing messenger app from playstore and that process was smooth and also the mornin key app but for some peculiar reason the mornin key app for android seems to be having issue when trying to open up the on my android device.
so I switch to using an iOS for the both apps instead of the andriod.
Mixin messengerI registered with one of my less active line and the otp verification code was actually sent very fast although thought it would take my time but didn't but I only had to copy it manually and paste it but still all good because most apps failed to verify automatically.
Setting my pinThe process was all good except for the fact that I had to make an input confirmation of exact same for up to four times before confirmation which is good I suppose for security purpose but I feel the normal two times confirmation would have worked fine too.
Adding emergency contactSetting up the emergency contact was kind of a fuzz for me cause I actually and literally have to wait for the user am trying to add to be online so he can send the verification code for me to confirm his add up. Apart from the process was all good.
Other featuresI think the messenger app has some nice features added to it like the group chat where you can interact with some of your contacts just like every other message apps.
Mixin safeFirst the log in process was kinda stressful as I needed two device to successfully log in as one needs to scan the other from the messenger app in other to log in although the scanning was smooth and fast so I logged in successfully.
after logging in the websiteit looked very simple although too plain for my liking and the annoying red sticker which that serve as a warning should Atleast disappear after staying in website for sometime Atleast for the user would have grasped the message trying to pass.
Creating a safeThis process would have been very complicated if actually there was no official guildline to it but on still I followed the process showed to create the safe.
At first it prompted a name section and network type of which I just used my BTT username for ease and bitcoin for the network.
* next was the owner control key setup which is one of the 2-3 multisig wallet purposes. I selected mornin key as my private key control and since I already had the app installed and activated it was just to scan the QR code on the mixin safe site of which I did and it went smoothly and my key was secure and safe in the app with the specific name I used in the mixin safe website.
* next was the member key set up which require me to add up a member and it didn't take since I have someone here from the community who is close to me and we have already backed up as emergency contact so his contact just popped up when I clicked the +add button in the mixin safe site and I added him up and selected threshold (1) since its part of minimum requirement and don't have much contacts so two person confirming the transaction would be OK for me.
* next was the summary which require me to choose a plan although I was worried for the reason for me to actually pay to upgrade and create more safe so I choose the 2$ plan since its a still testing phase.
purchase of planThe process was very fast and smooth.
I funded the messenger app through my wallet and in no time got notified of the deposit.
Then I went back and choose the 2$ plan in which I made successful payment through the mixin pay wallet option through crypto
After successful payment went back to my mixin pay and activated safe through mornin key scan which at first showed error but finally got it running.
Transaction on mixin safeFirst I had to deposit some funds to try out mixin safe wallet so I choose the receive deposit option in which I funded through my binance exchange app and it went smoothly as I receive the funds quickly.
thenThe send transaction where I had to selected 2 member verification which is me(mornin key signiture) and the member to confirm the transaction before it went through.
I think I would try out more member later as part of verification but for this beta version, I think one member confirmation is okay.
*The security on this wallet is smashing as the member(s) need to verified before your transaction can actually go through, so it would be very hard to be hacked of your funds.
Just
superbSupport chat on mixin safeI thought I should try out the support chat on the mixin safe website to see how reliable it is and it was very OK by me as I got attended to by the customer chat representative and all my question I asked was satisfactorily answered. So the support chat feature is very OK and reliable.
Conclusion*The overall experience was smooth although a short video on the whole process would be very helpful, like a tutorial video to ease some stress
* the payment is very fast and notification in the messenger app is also superb, as I got every notification very quickly concerning transaction on my mixin safe wallet.
Can't wait for you guys to upgrade more the beta version so one can properly use the wallet.
