Mycelium, you are going the wrong way. Please stop this.

Since a few updates there is a "Buy RMC" button in the main screen, right under "buy and sell bitcoins".

It's a really, REALLY bad idea to include cloud mining bullshit in something that has a long time standing as the very best Bitcoin wallet, especially for beginners.

This is the kind of shit that gives Bitcoin a bad name. Please don't do this. I often advise newcomers to Bitcoin on getting started and I have always recommended Mycelium. This kind of crap would require me to mention "no don't click that, just ignore it", it confuses people. It makes people wary. I currently feel inclined to recommend other wallets for Android (that would probably be Copay or Schildbach even though I like Mycelium's UX much better).

And yeah, I get it, money and funding and cashing out on a large userbase. I understand. And don't get me wrong, you deserve getting paid for your great work and contribution to Bitcoin. Nonetheless I hope you will reconsider this mistake.

I don't see that, maybe because I haven't installed any updates or something.   Bit Coinomi is kind of doing the same thing, including advertising on the main screen of the wallet.  I agree it's a horrible fucking idea, but it doesn't surprise me in the least that they're doing it.  They're whores just like everyone else in cryptoland.  I'll take a look at my mycelium wallet now, see if I missed something.  Cloud mining is nothing but a scam.

Edit: I have the buy/sell thing blocked in my preferences, so maybe that's why I don't see it.

I had to stop using Mycelium because of this kind of behaviour. After reading this post, I checked Mycelium again and I can't see the "Buy RMC" button anymore. Can someone else confirm if it's still there? Maybe they removed them in a very recent update?
