Billion cryptocurrency Wallet is a new groundbreaking open-source product intended to manage Bitcoin.
It is created in compliance with the latest UI/UX trends and is easy to use
as for experienced Bitcoin enthusiasts as for first-time users.
The app is developed by international team of professionals.
Now available on iOS, both iPhone and iPad.
It looks like this:
What's unique:
Privacy
Not only Billion never asks you to enter email or phone number, but it also implements a unique feature called Reusable Payment Codes.
Payment Code is a special kind of address that can be freely published online and no one will be able to calculate the amount received.
Kind of Monero Stealth Addresses but in a Bitcoin world!
You can read a high-level overview of this technology on our Medium blog (a 10-min read).
Usability
To make cryptocurrencies easy to use for everyone we have developed an entirely new visual paradigm.
If you ever experienced struggle while using a crypto wallet, we encourage you to try Billion – that's something new on the market.
You can read a brief explanation of Billion user-interface on Medium as well (4-min read), or watch a 30 seconds-long a brief explanation promo video.
Social
One of the most important aspects of Billion is a system of contacts based on Payment Codes.
Once you have added your friend to a list – either using Air Connectivity (Bluetooth connection) or by importing/scanning a Billion Card
– you can make payments without any copying/pasting/scanning.
This way, a payment workflow is simplified drastically, and the privacy is not sacrificed at all.
Moreover, such a system is cross-platform: you can add contacts from other wallets that support Payment Codes.
As of now, Samurai and Stash on Android are two wallets that support Payment Codes (and Stash can be used on TestNet).
This is how it works:
Try it out:
1. Download Billion MainNet from the App Store. To try Billion TestNet (NOT REAL BITCOINS), please, follow this link .
2. Create a new wallet. Once it's synced, tap onto the balance tab to display your Billion card. Assign a pseudonym and avatar to make it more
recognizable.
3. Share your BillionCard picture in comments, or join a dedicated Telegram
channel . In case you use TestNet, we will send you some TestNet bitcoins so you won't need to use any faucets!
4. Involve your friends and add them to your list of contacts (tap onto 'Contacts' icon -> 'Add contact' -> 'Scan BillionCard' -> 'Extract QR-code from
picture' and choose the image you saved to media library or simply use Air Connectivity). Send them some coins.
5. Tell us how you enjoy the workflow.
P.S.
- Yes, there will be Android version later this year.
- Yes, there will be support for your lovely cryptocurrency (what's yours btw?).
- Yes, there will be more options for full control of your funds (eg. ability to connect your own node for broadcasting and receiving payments).
