Dead/Abandonet wallets.

[satscraper]

Dead or abandoned wallets are risky to use , the trivial statement in fact.

So it’s probably time to open the dedicated thread that lists such projects, so everyone can be aware that they should no longer be used.

Relevant projects:

1. Copay
The latest release, v12.12.2, is dated July 28, 2022. Relevant pull requests are also old. These are clear signs that BitPay has stopped maintaining it.

2. Breadwallet
Discontinued after being acquired by Coinbase. Users were advised to migrate to Coinbase Wallet.

3. Bitcoin Wallet (known as the Schildbach Wallet in the community)
I couldn’t find the relevant page on Google Play. GitHub commits haven’t been updated. It appears to be abandoned.

4. Jaxx Liberty  
Both desktop and mobile versions are effectively dead, as there have been no updates in their repositories.

5. Airbitz. Replaced by Edge.

6. DarkWallet. "as of 2020 it’s not really maintained anymore.", @BitMaxz.

7. Hive Wallet . "the last submitted commit is from the year 2017." @BitMaxz.

8. bitaddress.org. Last updated 10 years ago based on https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org @ABCbits

9. warpwallet. it's popular alternative of traditional brainwallet that have better security. Last updated 9 years ago based on https://github.com/keybase/warpwallet. @ABCbits

10.mSigna . Outdated and not supported any more. Last release is dated August 14, 2017, which is almost nine years ago. @nc50lc

11. MultiBit HD "Development stopped, and security updates ceased" @nc50lc


To be continued.

Please help me extend/refine this list.

Since this list also includes those wallets that have their official "retirement" announcements, not just abandoned wallet.
You may include the old MultiBit Classic/HD and mSigna wallets.
Just DYOR about the related details and dates.

I did some research for dead Bitcoin wallets, and here is my list below that you can add to your list.

~ DarkWallet ~
Wiki page: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/DarkWallet
Opensource: https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet
This one seems abandoned and is considered dead because the last commit was 10 years ago. The weird part is someone claimed the domain, but there is no answer from their GitHub page, so be careful; the domain may be bought by the scammer.

~ Hive Wallet ~
Wiki Page: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Hive
OpenSource: https://github.com/hivewallet
This one is dead; the last submitted commit is from the year 2017.

And I think the last one is the Samourai wallet since the founder was arrested in 2024; their GitHub page no longer has any updates then this should be considered dead?

Wow, I’ve never heard these names before.

 Regarding DarkWallet, the Bitcoin Wiki states that “as of 2020 it’s not really maintained anymore.”

The outdated commitment seen with Hive Wallet clearly indicates that it also belongs to the category of dead wallets.

Both have been added to the list.

Thanks, will take close look tomorrow.

Consider adding these,

warpwallet. it's popular alternative of traditional brainwallet that have better security. Last updated 9 years ago based on https://github.com/keybase/warpwallet.

1. BitPay (formerly Copay)

I'm not sure we talk about same "BitPay". But it seems BitPay wallet still updated recently.
https://github.com/bitpay/bitpay-app have v14.40.0 released last week.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitpay.wallet&hl=en-US says it's last updated Jan 24, 2026.

I'm not sure about this one. Bitaddress is still a widely used paper wallet generator. Adding it here might encourage people to use something else that may not be secure. Obviously though one should run it offline, but still.. I don't think it should hit the list.

Sorry, corrected, I actually meant Copay.

Agreed, formally abandoned in terms of development which in turn may cause security issues. Besides, I consider any kind of brainwallets as potentially unsafe. Added to the list.

I found that the official mSigna repository shows its last release dated August 14, 2017 ^{i.e. nearly nine years ago}. Clearly abandoned.

Regarding MultiBit HD, my research indicates that the wallet was eventually discontinued,  development halted and security updates ended.

 Both points have been added to the list.
