Samourai Wallet - SegWit Enabled Bitcoin Wallet

[miguelmorales85]

I wonder if someone here has started using the Samourai Wallet.

You can download it here
https://samouraiwallet.com/

Right about now it is only available for Android devices. They say soon it will be out a version for iOS.

It is a wallet with segwit enabled transaction, I wonder if the fees are really reduced as people say.

Some reall nice features:

RBF (Replace By Fee)
Allows senders to rebroadcast a stuck transaction to the network

CPFP (Child Pays for Parent)
Allows users with stuck transactions to top up fee for quick confirmation.

Trusted Node - PushTX
Users can add their own trusted node details. Samourai will use this node to push all transactions.

 Sound like this is how a wallet should be.

I've used it a few times, I honestly think it will become my new mobile wallet since I'm no longer a fan of mycelium. They've got a few great privacy features and I've had no problems so far.

would like to try it, but I have iOS. Maybe you can show screenshots?

I have also thought about changing my beloved Copay wallet for Samourai.

Maybe in the future even buy directly from Coinbase using the OAUTH links.

I would personally stay away from Copay just because BitPay might decide to do some funky stuff with it with 2X coming. Wouldn't want to accidentally be using the wrong chain.

There is a workaround, you can use your copay wallet with your own service wallet through bitcore client.
I am trying to but it seems it is not possible in a pine64 board.

I would say it's not worth it to use the wallet if you've got to go through that much trouble...might be hard to find another multisig wallet I guess though.

Seems a good wallet to try, enabled segwit. Even though segwit has been activated for 3 months, most web wallet still doesn't support segwit address. Moreover, this wallet has some features which better than others wallet. I will give it a shot for sure, how much fees to pay for every transaction, whether it's more convenient or safely.

Why multi-sig ? One could avoid all the trouble by simply checking the transaction fees according to latest network congestion and broadcast a transaction then.I wouldn't move to a wallet just because they have an ability to speed up my stuck transaction due to my inability to check the network requirements.I don't need that much of automation in life.

They love to make a whole lot of noise about the political positions they take, but I've had a fiddle with it and it was missing many of the features I use on a regular basis.

I'd want less shouting and more track record and features before it became my go to option. I'll probably sample it again in a few months.

what about if you make a mistake or something?
Wont you like to have a software (wallet) who has ALL the features available in the protocol?

You talk like having a mail client with no option to put someone in copy just because you can put several email address in the "to" field.
that is nonsense.

Has it launched on mobile recently? I have seen Samurai around for a while but on the web.

Are they the same devs?

It's been on the play store for a wee while marked as early access and therefore unstable. As far as I know it's never been a web wallet. Are you thinking of something else?

What do you mean on the web?

I think they only released an early alpha version to the Android Store, soon on iOS.

I wonder if I could link samourai wallet to my bitcoin core node.

...but that's not what multi-sig is, not even close. Multi-sig is a transaction that requires the signatures of multiple keys to send, like if you want to give away an inheritance, you can keep one key yourself, give one to a trusted family member and another to an attorney. After you die they can use their two keys to send the funds. Stuff like that. It has nothing to do with transaction fees. The multi-sig wallet I was referring to was Copay anyways, not Samourai.

It's obviously cool wallet. Design and promised technical specs looks great. I'll try use it

I have checked samourai wallet on play store for android, and it's still on development (unreleased), even though we couuld be an alpha tester (3).
And there is another version of bitcoin wallet which released by samourai developers I guess, called sentinel, isn't it?
There are few wallet developers which have enabled segwit address, so it would be great to install this wallet after it's officially released on play store.

So what about screenshots?

[aoluain]

Interesting wallet, i wasnt aware of it until now!
I like the "PaymentNym" function but I am thinking
I will continue with my Coinomi wallet, I like the
ability to add extra currencies.

Where can you get the APK file for the wallet or do I have to have a google account in order to get it?

Github is where it's at for the cool kids who don't want to go through google play.

Is this now a fully launched wallet? I haven't really bothered to keep abreast of anything.
