Anyone Actively Using BEST Wallet? Honest Thoughts?

[KillerEyez]

Hello all you wonderful people!

SO this Best Wallet - came across it, and it has a range of features like...
a non-custodial crypto wallet that boasts a range of features:

Multi-chain support, staking options, impressive security measures - i kindof like it.  Over 60 blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB, Solana, and more.


I'm curious to hear from those who've used Best Wallet - if u have

How intuitive is the interface for daily transactions?

Have you encountered any issues or concerns regarding the wallet's security features?

Anything else that counts?

I'm considering trying it out but would appreciate insights from the community before diving in.

For reference - this is what i am talking about   Best Wallet

I am not using the wallet and I can not use it.

These are the cons
It is close source

It requires email


It encourage cloud storage backup. That is the only option immediately after you created the wallet.



I did not see the normal bitcoin private key when I want to expert the private key. This is what I saw:




There is no bitcoin private key that starts from 3.


Do not share your seed phrase or private key. I only used this as an explanation.


About the function of the wallet, I do not know how good the wallet is. Is the wallet recommended? No.

I'd advice you get a better wallet to store your coins mate. From my search above the best wallet, it doesn't fit in the criteria of a non-custodial crypto wallet like they claim on their review page. That's if they know what a non-custodial crypto wallet is. I feel like those reviews are paid to increase their rating on the app store. Again just like Charles-Tim said, the wallet is closed source requiring you login with an email not your seed phrase, meaning it's centralized.

[Charles-Tim]

I feel like those reviews are paid to increase their rating on the app store.

It may be that they pay for the review but alson maybe they do not pay for it. Someone only prefer convenience and they do not know what they are using. I remember Electrum had some bad reviews on Android before but that was also because of human ignorance. Many users do not know what features a wallet should have before they can use it. They like easy to understand wallets even if the wallet is bad in disguise.

I might have thought that this post was a hidden advertisement for this wallet if OP was called BestWallet or something like that.

Do the developers of this wallet lack the imagination to come up with a name?

The name "BEST Wallet" immediately makes me reject it. It immediately raises doubts. No good wallet will ever be called "the best", because a good wallet doesn't need this. Such a name looks like a semi-scam name, cheap and the name is the only thing that is "best" in such a device.

I "find fault" only with the name, because I have not used the wallet itself. Why so? Because there are many other wallets, working and proven, so I don't see the point in taking risks experimenting with such new products. And certainly not with a wallet that was called "best wallet".

are you sure you sent the correct link? what is that?

[nelson4lov]

Just as @Charles-Tim has suggested, my thoughts is the same—no.

Imo, the biggest issue I have with it is the cloud backup. Storing seed phrases and priv keys in the cloud has caused more than enough damages. Past incidents have shown that storing sensitive data loosely in the cloud have done more ham than good. From Evernote to Google drive to other cloud solutions.


When security becomes the priority, you will quickly find that intuitive interfaces and sleek UIs mean nothing.

[BitMaxz]

The provided link from the OP is not the best wallet. Have you notice the reviews it seems a scam wallet according to reviews.

If you prioritize security then don't use that wallet and since you are looking for multichain wallet the only best wallet is hardware wallets with open-source.
For example, Trezor supports a wide range of coins compared to that wallet you are trying to promote this wallet has high security feature and well-known wallet.

Be careful on using that wallet I suggest don't try to install it.

I did not know of any cryptocurrency wallet software as BEST wallet but quickly checking gives me very rough thinking that those BEST wallets are not good to use: no source, few users, removed. You can see there

The given website link in OP is not like a legit website with good website domain. This makes me more fearful and I don't want to click on the website link for further check.

That link looks really shady. According to redirect-checker.org it does lead to the Best Wallet website but it has a referral ID attached to it. I don’t know why a wallet would need a referral system.

The wallet’s website and the OP’s post history raise many red flags. I would stay as far away as possible from this wallet.

I did not see the normal bitcoin private key when I what to expert the private key. This is what I saw:

Why, just why would a mobile phone wallet display the private key in plain text when you export it?

There is honestly no point in doing that, it's not like anyone is going to write down the private key, it's just going to be copied to the clipboard which is an even less secure area of the device.

If you're curious on the displayed private key; that's a private key which isn't encoded to WIF.
It's in bare 32bit Hex format.
Most multi-coin wallets do that but it should be WIF if it's a private key of a Bitcoin address for convenient import/export.

Good points on its cons, BTW.

Electrum Android does it too. Just saying.

Really? That's a surprisingly odd decision. A hex private key offers no typo protection at all, there's no partial checksum, nothing. It's easy to make a mistake when you have to copy 64 hex digits. Humans are no good in this.

I never tried it with mobile Electrum because I wouldn't want to expose unsecured private keys to such a potentially insecure online platform as a mobile phone.

And copying a private key in whatever form to the clipboard of Android is a bad idea, because literally any installed app on Android can subscribe to changes of the clipboard's content and inspect it. If someone then still believes the privat key is still private, well, good luck with that.

Hmm, you may have misunderstood my post, maybe I shouldn't have snipped next sentence of the quoted reply.
I was replying on NotATether's note saying "in plain text" and the security risk of showing it on screen and the possibility of being saved in the clipboard, not about the private key's encoding
since whether it's WIF or HEX, the risk is just the same.
