Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet

[HCP]

...
Your customers are your best designers. (:-)

You've never working in software development have you? Most of the time, the customer doesn't even know what they actually need (or want)...

Personally, I don't think that we need fancy sliding bars with pretty colours... the 4 options they currently have (Priority, Normal, Economic and Low-Prio) combined with a 5th "Manual" option (probably best to be hidden by default and only enabled via advanced settings) would be my idea of the a "good" solution.

It would allow those who want to "Keep it simple" to do that... and for those that want more control to be able to specify their own level of fee/risk. Everybody wins.

Keep the existing 4 options: "Low-Priority, Economic, Normal, Priority".
In a new version include a option in the advanced settings for a fifth option "Custom" or "Manual" (prefer Custom, sounds better), where you can set your own fee as "satoshi/byte".

Very good idea, would really like to see that option in the next update.

i also stopped using Mycelium for this reason

are there any cell phone wallets where you do have control over the fees? i wonder if fee control is a hard thing to integrate because it doesn't seem very common.

no.. there are not, but anyway impossible use mycelium when sending 7 $ +5$ fee now im never use some phone apps  i use this Coinb.in i will come back when mythelium will update with this option ( custom adding fee in digits sat) and if it willl mycelium will be the best..but for now it same as electrum ad other sucks apps

Sending $7 with a $5 fee?  Well, that's not true unless all your inputs are dust.
No cashier wants to accept $7 if you're paying with pennies. (In this case, micro pennies.)

If you don't like the fees, then bitcoin isn't for you (at this time).  Complaining that it's the wallets fault is funny.

If you don't like mycelium because you can't specify the exact amount you want to pay as a fee, then simply go to another wallet that does.  Also demand your money back that you paid on the free wallet.

What are you guys using then?

For mobile, I use Mycelium almost exclusively - android and iOS (although the iOS version needs an overhaul, it still works fine).
I also use breadwallet on iOS.   Never thought to even lookup Electrum on mobile until it was brought up yesterday (Android yes, but not available on iOS).

I've been known to use blockchain.info wallet app as well - until I can finally rid myself of coinbase tracked coins.

For desktop (laptop), I only use Bitcoin CORE wallet (full node).

I should definitely start a full node myself as well and keep using mycelium for low amounts only.

Are there any plans for the Lightning Network?

One thought is that using Lightning is quite similar to using a debit card. Both have to be charged up before use. So the user interface could build on that familiarity.

Is the 12 word is my private key backup? 

[gentlemand]

Is the 12 word is my private key backup? 

Yes. It's the backup for all private keys created in that wallet as it creates a new address with each transaction. You can also import those 12 words into other wallets that use the same system and your coins will be there too.

[jaceefrost]

Is the 12 word is my private key backup? 

IIRC it's called a passphrase. It's a backup of your wallet that is encrypted. It means you can not use that to import your address in another wallet. If you want the accessible backup, export your privatekey and save it in a document or print a scannable version of it so you can import it in any allet which supports address importing.

No it isn't. It's a seed. You can use it in any other wallet that works similarly and the same addresses and coins will be in there. It's all you need to backup or move your coins wherever you want if it's BIP 39 or 44 like Trezor and a few others.

Thanks for clarifying that. I may have been talking about the privatekey you can get on the PDF file, that one is the one that is encrypted with a passphrase right? Passphrase is the letters?

Yes, that was long time ago, before mycelium switched to being a HD wallet.
There you would get an encrypted backup and plus a password consisting of some letters.

Now mycelium is BIP32, BIP39 and BIP44 compliant, and you can totally import your mycelium backup word list on a trezor and vice versa, for example.

It is. It understands QR codes which encode URLs of the format: bitcoin:<address>?amount=<amount> which is what ATMs generate.

Mycelium also understands the "&label=<description>" parameter in a bitcoin: URL and shows it in the "transactions" list. (Although the label is not saved anywhere else, AFAIK.)

@Michail1

You are a mug. It IS the wallet's fault and the original Mycelium devs (not the new owners) will end up in jail before too long. Wise up!

what the hell are you talking about? they're somehow keeping the extra fees? i think we'd have noticed that.

[OmegaStarScream]

I was on Telegram a few minutes ago, the SPV wallet is under development and people are testing it I believe. It should be available in the upcoming weeks probably. (We will no longer connect to Mycelium nodes anymore)

Calling me a mug?  Ha, sounds cute.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what you're complaint is.  You didn't counter a single thing I said, but simply said someone is going to jail and name calling.  Please provide information as to which statement you disagree with.

For an account that is dormant which makes a couple of posts a year, I thought it funny you mainly play with ALTS and ICO scams.
Good luck with those.

My guess is that you're simply mad because you invested a year ago which hasn't made you a millionaire yet, so you're bitching the devs haven't programmed the ability to specify an exact amount for TX fees.

Great, that's fluctuating all over the place (tens of dollars) right in front of my eyes... what was it before that kept the price movement more steady? 24h average?
