Safety should be considered in wallet type selection. Android os is still not assuring. If the wallet is working towards safety and system is vulnerable, so will be most of the app software on the OS

I'm curious if you consider Windows as assuring

There were rumors of some viruses existing for Android but in a few cases that I read about myself these were quickly eradicated and rooted out primarily because they could do nothing in the protected environment of the Linux user space (which is what under the hood of Android, just in case). Now compare that to a host of all possible combinations of viruses, trojans, keyloggers and whatnot existing for Windows. In short, can you name even a single virus for Android that would be as devastating as the majority of viruses known for the Windows family of operating systems?

that is true.
but in the end it all comes down to the user and how protected he is and how much he himself tries to protect himself. even on windows which is known to be full of bugs, security holes and has lots of viruses, a person can stay safe. for example I have been using windows for as long as windows has existed and I have never been infected by a single virus

This is what you came to think

But you can't be 100% sure of that. In fact, some folks consider Windows itself as a virus of sorts. And it may not be just a metaphor or an overexaggeration. Windows is mostly closed source software (apart from some insignificant and irrelevant components), and we don't know what it can be sending and receiving from the network beyond what we expect it to be sending and receiving. And Microsoft had already been caught with doing something to that tune in the past. We can't know that it won't revolt against us when it receives some signal from the network

I already have a hot wallet on my desktop and I am safe! granted my cold storage is air tight Linux system though. but I am just saying people have to be wise themselves.

The best way for the wise is to get rid of Windows altogether

well I didn't say windows is the best or safest option, but it can become safe enough environment. afterall a huge percentage of users are still on windows. and as I said my cold storage which is containing my majority of coins has been made on a Linux operating system in an airtight environment.

and also I should add, as much as I would love to get rid of windows altogether, it is not possible to do. at least not for me. there are of applications that either wont run on Linux or running them on Linux is going to be a pain in the ass and I need many of them.

What are the requirement to add coin on BIT.AC wallet?
Like most top exchanges, they select few coins for exchanges, most of the coin are active and can promising. What plan do they have for new coins in the future?
It is still a growing exchange, What plan does the exchange have to increase its volume?

I can't autofill my username and/or password, and for some reason copy pasting too is not possible either, I need to write manualy. I am not 100% sure of it is the same for the paswword, but writting manualy a paswword like fS*$54LJ,l51N,45JgDe5dex!4 is a pain in th ass. You should remove TheDAO as well from your site.

Yeah, I know one billion flies cannot be wrong

If all other users start jumping out of windows (pun intended), will you follow them? I guess you won't, so why should you jump in at all and care about what someone else's uses, a herd instinct? Sometimes I also need Windows for a number of tasks. I just run it a virtual machine and fire it when I need it. If something goes awry with it (which is often the case with Windows), I just delete it and restore it from a clean back-up. You may want to do the same

They should have Android on PC lol I know android is based off a linux kernal.I seen somewhere awhile back I think it was a year ago or so on some website but can no longer find it google search doesn't find anything anymore about installing Android on a pc.I use windows simply because Im used to it being a creature of certain habit like I am.I have tried to use Linux but found it very confusing at the very least.I like to game too and well at the time nothing worked with linux Of course thats probably changed by now.There are so many distrubitions of the OS I dont know which one to even use or where to begin.So that being said What distro.Would one suggest that is use to windoze already?

I see your point but your example is not such a good one. and I know about running windows in a virtual machine but it slows down the system running two OS at the same time and I can not run heavy applications on it. and besides as I said it is not impossible to stay safe on windows.
again I am not saying windows is the best idea for security and I repeat that an offline Linux is the way to go.

good to hear.
keep up the good work.

[pinkflower]

there's absolutely no way I would ever trust a site that show "The DAO" on their welcome page as one of the coins. LOL

DAO was discontinued since its fail last year. Thanks for the tip. We will remove its logo as soon as possible.

I think Vericoin is also another cryptocurrency that was involved with its own problems. I think a hacker got access to a majority of VRC by hacking an exchange and the team behind it did a controversial hard fork which the community didnt agree with. From then on everyone kept away from it.

It might be good to update the list of coins to make the wallet a more attractive option for users. Are you open to suggestions?

Sure, we are always open for a wide discussion. Feel free to share your thoughts.

If I were in your shoes I would remove Novacoin, Clams, Vertcoin, Vericoin, Peercoin, Namecoin, Dogecoin and of course the DAO. Who uses these coins anyway and it would be good to streamline your wallet offerings. The leaner it is the better and it will also look cleaner when listed on the site.

A good coin to add might be ETC, XRP and Zcash.

Honestly I see no problem having these coins, that you suggested to be removed in their site.  If you already created an account in their site, it is not the same with other exchanges where wallet are already available, you have to set them up one by one.  So if you do not have those coins, then I think  you do not need to set them up thus making your account still look cleaner the way you wanted it to be.

Its not about how it looks. Its about having the coins with the most volume and coins that have a future in the world of cryptocurrencies. Will you still want to have a DAO coin to keep which is now useless? Exchanges delist coins from time to time because it would be useless having them available. The same steps should be made by Bit.ac. Updated coins might also help get more users in.

I have a question for you

Will you automatically create new wallets along the existing ones (I refer to Bitcoin wallets, of course) and credit them with the same balances after the Bitcoin split comes about (if it does come about, of course)? I'm mostly using Coinbase myself, and, as folks say, after the Ethereum split, this web wallet just seized the new coins, and I don't want to lose new coins if it ever comes to that. I guess many users would like to hear your stance on this matter (and you could advertise on that)

[webtricks]

I start using bit.ac from last couple of days and I had a great experience with insists me to write here. The site especially mobile version (app) is really user interactive. Moreover, the ease to convert different currencies is really appreciable. Looking forward to use bit.ac as my main wallet, hope to have good relations.

We are considering different scenario at the moment. Most likely, we will keep both Bitcoin versions as a standalone currencies.

That's understandable and likely the best choice

But what will happen with user balances? Will you create new Bitcoin wallets with the same addresses and the same balances as the old ones with balances as they are at the moment of the split? When Ethereum was hard forked in the past, Coinbase wallet seems to have just seized the forked coins. I don't know what actually happened there, but that's what I'm told. Provided this is true, I don't think that Coinbase Ethereum holders were quite happy with such an outcome

Glad to see you make an update for the android wallet,  just installed it on my phone and registered a new account. Surprisingly,  it is not stable as you said.  I cant login to my new account,  only login in less than 2 seconds then logged out automatically all the time.  Anyway have you tried it before releasing the new updates?
Just FYI,  my phone is an old samsung 6inches phone with 4.4.4 android version.

I hope this one there will be no problem anymore, thanks for considering our suggestions Bit.AC and that was a very timely action taken by your company. And dustboy mate, maybe there is some problem with your phone, I'm sure they have fully tested it before they release and this is a better version according to them.

Edit : I tried it now and it works smooth, good job Bit.AC.

Just tried it with both of my phones which are 6.0 and 5.0 version and everything is fine. Haven't noticed further bugs which I could assume that the app is now already improved and fixed many bugs which has been suggested by the community.
If I recall that there are major updates between 4.4.4 to 5.0 for android, using different algorithm I suppose, so, it's kinda a usual thing that something abnormal may occur to the older version of android if the developers were testing with newest version.

[Ipwich]

Tried the Android app now and all I can say it's perfect, after some minor issues the developers come up with an impressive one.
Now, I'm still waiting for there actions if it's possible to upgrade security like 2FA in both my desktop wallet and Android wallet.
Anyway, thanks for this update....

[TomVelvetPaws]

yep I tested it too works perfectly so far Im using android 7.0 on a LG V20

[dustboy]

So I'm the only one who have a problem with the new android wallet,  maybe because my android version is not supported to use this new wallet.  Hope the dev can check it and improve the wallet to be able to be used by lower android version.

I do not find any problem with the Android version of Bit.AC wallet.  I downloaded it today, installed it registered and received the confirmation email with password on my spam folder ( I wonder why it goes to spam folder) logged in  and its all fine.  Mine is a bit  older version of Android too, Lenovo A536 and it is working fine.
