Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet

[StevenS]

In a normal HD wallet, after normal use, does each address not have exactly one UTXO?

If you use the "receive" button to get an address to send to someone, and they pay you in multiple transactions (for example, they pay you from two different wallets, or multiple people pay you to the same address), then the address will obviously have multiple UTXO's.

However, you are correct that when a HD wallet sends, the "change" address will be unique for each transaction, and thus will have exactly one UTXO.

Local Trader with premium 0% for USD BitcoinAverage is showing 4916.62 USD when that does not appear on https://bitcoinaverage.com/en/bitcoin-price/btc-to-usd at the same time.

Selecting other base price sources also show USD values in excess of their USD all-time-highs, with 0% premium.

Looks fairly accurate to me... Visiting https://bitcoinaverage.com/en/bitcoin-price/btc-to-usd I see


Seems like BTC is heading for $5k today

[TheButterZone]

NOW local trader says 0% premium on BitcoinAverage in USD is $4969.38.

https://bitcoinaverage.com/en/currency-markets/btc-to-usd doesn't say that NOW
https://bitcoinaverage.com/en/bitcoin-price/btc-to-usd doesn't say that NOW.

The daily high didn't even get that high. So what the fuck is Mycelium drawing "USD" from? Some other national currency's BitcoinAverage converted to USD at some foreign exchanger's rate?

Doesn't even match individual USD exchanges' spot prices at the same exact time.

[HCP]

Not sure where you're looking on bitcoinaverage... but when I click that link I see:

Today's Open $4,942.17
Today's High $4,984.50
Today's Low $4,589.02
USD Index  $4,719.87
24h Average $4,849.92
Global Vol ฿ 113223.61

Sure looks like it made it over $4969.38.



Just checked right now and the app says $4779... bitcoinaverage website says $4729... seems pretty close... I'm assuming that the app doesn't update in real time like the website.

Welcome to the wonderful world of volatile crypto currency values

I was looking exactly where you redboxed in your LATER screenshot.

App updates price source +/-/0 premium every time you change a price parameter, before all these bloody successive Play Store updates at least, the updates were in sync with the ticks. The daily high had not reached 4969.38 on Bitcoinaverage when I said NOW. Once again, you seem to have have no concept of what NOW means and you are taking your screenshots after what was NOW to me had passed, so of course with the bull run(?), it had a chance to reach what hadn't happened from when I said NOW to when you took your screenshots LATER. No, Mycelium was NOT pulling the daily high FROM THE FUTURE. So where the fuck were Mycelium's prices in excess of what BitcoinAverage actually said the daily high was AT THAT VERY MOMENT, coming from?

Now: Bitcoinaverage Global USD 4657.89 USD markets 4653.80 Mycelium 4689.68 (31.79-35.88 diff, not explainable away as average ticks move slower than exchange ticks)
Now: Bitstamp BTC/USD 4678.84 Mycelium 4726.11 (47.27 diff, not explainable away while watching ticks)
Now: Bitfinex BTC/USD 4,589 Mycelium 4645.15 (56.15 diff, not explainable away while watching ticks)

I dedicate this song to you, Mycelium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K0RzZGpyds

well 2 USD per transaction as low fee is far more than I am willing to pay. I have never ever paid such fee in my entire life for single transaction. As Bitcoin enhance, many services are more fraudalent than banksters system have had ever been before. Goodbye Mycelium!

It's not a fraud, they don't make any money out of it, it's just not being flexible enough to follow the movement of network fees. Most other wallets have the same problem. That's why it needs an adjustable fee. But yes, farewell for now for me as well.

does gear.mycellium development got stopped?
unable to see any update on that

[PilotofBTC]

Does anybody have an explanation, or a link to one, what colored coins are good for?

I just read the web page http://coloredcoins.org/, but my impression is that it must have been written by complete idiots, because they do not mention any practical, intelligible purpose anywhere. And I am sick of idiots. There are already too many in the cryptocurrency sphere.

Basically counterparty is a colored coin system. It allows you to have tokens on the block chain. For example, you could have the title of a car... you could sell that title and the owner of the title owns the car.

I wonder how Mycelium would fare with a free, basic version and a paid, high-powered version with extra features for people who use bitcoin more intensely and want special capabilities.

I have no experience with app marketing, but it seems that Mycelium is already a bit to good for a free app.

If they took all the adds and stuff out of mycelium I would pay for the app... as long as it is updated and they had decent support response... they would only support paid customers.

That would be my preference too but they seem to be slowly disengaging in all areas. If they were to offer a paid option I wonder how long it would be before they abandoned it or started sneaking crap back into it.

Custom fees are now a thing. Nice one, Mycelium. On the bottom of the send section it gives you a slider of fee options.

Thank god! I actually started only using Mycelium to watch by balances, and have been using only Electrum to send transactions because of the custom fees support. But I must admit that the new slider looks awesome with all the pre-created fees options and the estimated time for confirmation for each one of them.

Now, they just need to remove this crappy ICO advertisement and I will have no more complains.

[OmegaStarScream]

I'm the only one who can't manage to get the last update? the wallet didn't auto update and when I check for new update through the menu, It says that I'm 2.9.2 and It's up to date while there is clearly a new version out.

I like this new update I just saw it earlier tho, now you have more options to choose if you want a low prio and I guess there's 20+? option from zero to the largest fee for every category I mean if you choose from LP, Eco, Nor, and Prio.

I prefer to use Mycelium for fee purposes because electrum does take much higher fee than mycelium.

Now, they just need to remove this crappy ICO advertisement and I will have no more complains.

Well, I can't argue with this because they need also some funds so they have advertisement tab but of course, you can ignore that tab instead.

Maybe you can try to clear cache the app or the play store if you are using Android.

False. Electrum always allowed you to set up custom fees. Plus, even while using their fee slide, you could select a fee of 90 sat/byte, while Mycelium's "cheapest" fee option was ~140 sat/byte+ IIRC.

Do they really? I remember that they raised something close to $21 million with their ICO at today's valuation.

And if they need money, launch a paid version without ads or show actual legit ads instead of ICO scams.

Nice to see that they are still updating mycelium wallet. Just wondering when they will release the one with Segwit support. We need it soon so we can all maximize our bitcoin use.

If you can't select all the way down to 0 or 1 sat/b (as has gotten nextblock confirms when I looked at recent blocks within the last day), it's not 100% custom.

We hope you like it and leave a 5 star review 

EDIT: Release notes for version 1.3.3:

v1.3.3 was released to Google Play store, github, and our site.

The list of changes from last regular release include:

* Generic scan button in the main view - Use this to quickly scan QR codes to send bitcoins. In the future, this may be used to quickly log into websites with BitID.
* Improvements to barcode scanning with flashlight toggle and autofocus setting
* Email notifications for LocalTrader - Google Push Notifications system is still kind of unreliable, and we can't fix it because it's Google servers that are having issues, so this is a fix until we figure out something better.
* Fixes and connectivity fallback for dns issues - A few days ago we had an issue where our domain name, which is pointing to our servers, was temporarily turned off by our provider while they verified that we are who we say we are. Should this happen again, wallets will switch to contacting our servers with their IP numbers directly (this is also likely temporary, until we move everything to Tor)
* Various crash fixes

We think that this will be the last feature update for the non-HD version. Stay tuned for an upcoming Mycelium HD release.

I have been using this mycelium wallet and I would say it is a decent android Bitcoin wallet to use, does not have all the features I would like though.
