The list of child boards in this sub-forum needs to be updated!

[zabzob]

I hate the child board area on the Wallet Software sub-forum! It fills up the top half of my screen, and it's mostly useless. Almost all the wallets on there are obsolete, and their forums have close-to-zero activity, like only one or two threads from the past two years. And most of the most relevant wallets are absent from it, except for Electrum. The Electrum and hardware-wallet forums are the only ones getting any activity. Bitcoin for Android, Bitcoinj, Armory, Mycelium, all legacy wallets from the stone age. Admins, please free up some screen real-estate and consign these dead forums to the dustbin of the Archives forum! Might make sense to add a new sub-forum for Sparrow, bur not really necessary.

You can actually ignored those child boards so it won't show again when you visiting this board.

But yes, you are right, those child boards are so old and need to be replaced, there are lots of open source  wallet with lots of community e.g. Sparrow and blue wallet, that are excusively for bitcoin just like electrum.

I can see why those considered as legacy, but they still receive update.
1. Mycelium (Android version) last updated on May 15, 2026[1].
2. BitcoinJ last updated May 4, 2026[2].
3. Armory last updated on May 2026[3].

IMO position of those less active child board could be moved to bottom instead. Deleting those child board or moving those child board to "Archival" doesn't sound ideal either.

P.S. This thread is more suitable on "Meta" board.

I think sparrow is the only wallet I can think of that would deserve a place in this sub.

But it is so new, it was released just 2 years ago. I would wait the test of time before adding it. (lots of wallet fails over time)

Why did you not post this on Meta instead? I think Meta is the right board this supposed to be.

You can correct me, but I have known about Sparrow wallet since 2020. I browsed about when Sparrow was released and I also saw August 29, 2020 while the project’s initial commit was March 22, 2020.

You are right, they launched about 2020 pre release version
The first non- beta was released in December 2021
