22 Bitcoin Software Wallets, compared feature by feature

Coin control is different from address freezing. With address freezing, you will only be able to freeze the coins on an address or some addresses that you want to freeze. But with coin control, you can be able to freeze UTXOs of your choice. Coin control also allows you to spend the UTXO of you choice.

I understand the difference. But because I always have no more than one utxo on each address I have full control over my coins.

If you make transaction on wallet that support RBF and CPFP and you want to pump the fee, only RBF can be used to pump the fee for outgoing transaction.

Logical because you are the one sending the coins, hence you can increase the fees you want to pay.

For incoming (unconfirmed) transaction, you can not use RBF because only CPFP can be used.

Again, logical. By including the unconfirmed incoming coins in a new transaction that pays much higher fees, you increase the total fee rate for both transactions. I know all that.

But I think this is what Pmalek meant: that will the pump fee appear as CPFP in a way you will be able to differentiat it from RBF as it is on Electrum?

Exactly. Kruw already answered that Wasabi wallet doesn't have that. That makes it slightly different from Electrum where you have an option called CPFP by right-clicking on an unconfirmed incoming transaction in your wallet.

Added MyCitadel software wallet to the comparison.

Added MyCitadel software wallet to the comparison.

First time I hear about MyCitadel wallet, but it looks interesting and it has similar clean interface like Electrum wallet.
I see it has support for hardware wallets, so I downloaded it and I will probably test it next few days.
Nice to see list of supported hardware wallets on thebitcoinhole.com website.

I did not bother to download the wallet because I think OP is almost accurate in what he is posting, although not only that but also because I can not completely recommend the wallet for now. If it is a wallet that support everything needed that I use to recommend people, I might have downloaded it and tested it.

According to the site OP is referring to, the wallet does not require anything like pin unlock, the passphrase is only supported for connected hardware wallet, not supporting backup and recovery with BIP39 seed phrase, which means it is not supporting BIP39 seed phrase, it does not have replace-by-fee.

Is there a reason to recommend this wallet? Although, it is an open source wallet.

I think he doesn't want to add any software wallets that support altcoins, except Green wallet by Blockstream that supports L-USDT. L-BTC and other liquid tokens.

Stack Duo wallet was not updated for months, and last time I checked it I saw they are in experimental phase, so I wouldn't use it as main wallet.

@thebitcoinhole
Can you please add new software wallet on your website?
Aqua wallet supports Bitcoin on-chain, Liquid Network and Lightning Network.
Currently released for Android and iOS, pending desktop release and open source code publishing.
https://aquawallet.io/

Another suggestion is to add information for BIP formats supported.
For example Aqua wallet uses BIP84 for Bitcoin and BIP49 for Liquid.
Electrum has it's own format, and I am not sure about other wallets, but it's important to say that BIP39 is not standard for all wallets.

[thebitcoinhole]

Good list, is the code open source or are there plans to translate it, I can help with that if possible.

The wallets database with all the info is now open source and open for collaboration -> https://github.com/thebitcoinhole/software-wallets

[thebitcoinhole]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will add it to the backlog.

Ummm.... as a BlueWallet user, I always thought that the app was OpenSource. On its main website page, it's clearly stated that this is an OpenSource wallet where the GitHub repo can be publicly viewed and each change can be reviewed. Shouldn't the table on your website clearly state "YES" for this option?

You can check out this link ( https://bluewallet.io/features/#:~:text=Open%20Source,own%2C%20without%20any%20custodial%20dependencies ) to see the features available on BlueWallet that I'm talking about.

Github repo : https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet

TBH.. the table you provided is really cool and easy to understand. If you're asking for my advice, maybe allowing users to apply some filters to those features could be a good idea.

I strongly believe you were looking at the wrong sections ^{[Web/Linux/Windows/Umbrel OS support]}, hence the empty red boxes.
^{- They're labeled as open-source under the Android/IOS support sections.}

If you're asking for my advice, maybe allowing users to apply some filters to those features could be a good idea.

The above feature already exists and you can find it near the top-left corner of the page.

My bad, I thought I was being careful, but seems like I still missed checking out some corners of the website page.

Thanks for the correction.

I feel like there's nothing missing from the website page now. It's pretty comfy for comparing one wallet vs another.

Hi. Stack Wallet was added to the website !!!

You finally decided to start adding multicoin wallets from now on?

Stack wallet is not bad, but it feels to me like it is still in beta phase, especially desktop version that is randomly crashing on me, and it doesn't support monero.
Good thing to see they are posting regular updates, so I hope they will fix those issues I mentioned in future, and they should add hardware wallet support.

[thebitcoinhole]

You finally decided to start adding multicoin wallets from now on?

Yes, but not sure yet if this is a good decision or not for the website. I will see what happens. I added a new Btc Only row so it's clear if the wallet is multicoin or not.
