Coin Wallet - self-custodial open-source wallet. Discussion and News

[bitmover]

It's tough to reply on this forum, feels like we're back in 2005

i want to know what the extra fees are for, and who takes them.

This is a service fee.

What kind of services do you provide for this type of fee?

The service is provided by the miners.

They are charging for a service provided by someone else. 🤡

They are basically charging for ignorance/lack of attention of their users.

Coin Wallet firmware has been elevated to v6.29.0, featuring improvements particularly relevant to hardware security. I checked the pertinent commit ^{"improve hardware keys ui"} and it seems that  UI now tells users when they have not registered any hardware security keys yet, instead of leaving that state blank. The OP will probably have more to say about this.

Yes, you're right - in this patch we added some text for users. We also added an article to the support section. https://support.coin.space/hc/en-us/articles/360051635571-Hardware-security-keys-support

What do you do differently from other wallets to have these fees?

This goes toward wallet development. And given that we've been around since 2015 - how exactly are other wallets any different?
We have a killer feature, but it's not related to bitcoin - it's about Monero, so I'm not sure it can be discussed here.

You have a point, but given that WalletScrutiny is also the go-to place for those who don't know how to check reproducible builds, I think it's worth reconsidering that part [in the long run, it might be beneficial for attracting more users (a win-win situation)].

We didn't have a great experience working with them, but we'll think about it again.

So declaring this wallet to be "free" is misleading

Don't mislead and change your tone.
First, you're wrong on this point "So declaring this wallet to be free" - where and when was that ever written?
Second, I already answered the question about the service fee and the links were in the very first replies, and I also answered about the number of blockchains - 11 out of 24. If you ignored those answers - please don't spam.

Why not a donation system, instead of a direct fee?

When I used the test wallet I did in the past, it doesn't describe when the network fee and your commission fee is.
Currently, do these two pieces of information appear separately?

I have not ever saw a wallet that charged users to make a transaction. This is completely different for any other wallet.

You can discuss Monero here, no problem.

You should charge for this killer feature, not for bitcoin transactions, imo.

Did you see the wallet fee when you made the transaction? was it clear in the screen?

I think it is very important to show users how much money are paid and what exactly is being paid.

i don't think i have ever see a crypto wallet that charges 0.5% service fee for sending bitcoin transaction, and 0.5% service fee is fucking crazy.

and how exactly is it paid to you? do the wallet just add another address + the service fee when someone makes a transaction? that sounds like malware to me.
also, nowhere in the fee page that you say you charge a service fee, all you have is "transaction fee", bit misleading don't you think?

yeah, every other free wallet is either completely free, or they make their money through adding a swap feature where they get commission from every exchange.
