So I downloaded Exodus, the 64 bit Windows "installer"... and ran it... without giving me ANY choices of any description (not even a cancel install box), it popped up a box saying "Installed, you can run from the icons"... well, ummm thanks??!?
maybe I would have liked some input into that process... #strikeOne...
Then I tried running Exodus... and it comes up with a lovely red bar telling me that it can't connect to the P2P network... clicking on the "learn more" I am presented with a web page about opening up ports... seriously??? you want me to start opening ports for a closed source app that connects to a P2P network??!? #strikeTwo...
Ok, well let's at least see if their claims for being compatible with BIP44 are true... I'll just get the seed and put it into the BIP39 Tool... Oh... no... I won't... because you can't do any backup until after your first deposit??!? I don't even get to see what my 12 word wallet seed is, until I put money in?... #strikeThree... you're out.
For the record, I did restore a 12 word seed from another wallet... and it seems to have generated the same addresses and is showing my transaction history... so I'm guessing it is using the m/44'/0'/0'/0 derivation path like Mycelium... but I still can't use the backup as I haven't made a deposit??? Which apparently means that I can't add a password to the wallet??
So, now my restored wallet is just sitting there without a password to protect it??!?
It also shows me the first address in the wallet, as opposed to the first "unused" address when I click receive after doing a restore.
And finally, when you uninstall the app... there are no notifications or anything... and it leaves behind all your data in the %appdata% directory... including your wallet, which I presume is not password protected or encrypted if you haven't successfully managed to run the backup process...
