I moved from Mycelium to BlockTrail.
Mycelium just seems too geeky for me, all dark and all. I wouldnt imagine a person unaware of the tech behind bitcoin would manage it well. BlockTrail's wallet is very easy to use for anyone.
Deff recommend it to anyone.
@ETFbitcoin You probably won't regret , even if they just launched they seem to be very serious on their work , yesterday I reported a bug , and like five minuts after that they fixed it

What are you using , smartphone wallet because I have nothing called PIN on my side (Web wallet) and I don't want to screw things up
Android wallet. I have created web wallet too, and there is no PIN on web wallet.you only need a pin to send bitcoin from your mobile wallet. it's an extra security for mobile apps. btw, make sure to use authy/2FA
Since this is a service discussion topic, i think this is the best way to give feedback of the app for developer.
We're going to add a reset button very soon, we hear ya.
Good job dev. Can't wait to see te improvment.
Here is what HD wallet means basically , from the BlockTrail CTO :
Another results I found by searching little bit :
HD is short for Hierarchical Deterministic. Typically, bitcoin wallets generate each new bitcoin address from a unique random number, requiring you to make a new separate backup each time you create a new address. To avoid losses from lack of backups, such wallets tend to use a single bitcoin address for all transactions. HD wallets instead use a «master seed» to derive all future bitcoin addresses sequentially, with each new address created by appending a counter to the end of the seed. In this way, all the bitcoin addresses created by such wallets are «hierarchically determined» from a single seed, only need to be backed up once, and can be fully restored at any time in the future just from the backup of that single master seed. When using a single address wallet, all your transactions will be associated with a single address, and because all bitcoin transactions are public, anyone can see what addresses you are sending funds to and how much money you have. HD wallets greatly improve your privacy by being able to generate new addresses whenever you send and receive funds, making your transaction activity and total balance very hard to track.

The Blocktrail wallet is a HD wallet, this means that all your private keys are generated from 1 master key, which is generated in your browser/app and then encrypted with your password before sending it to be stored on the Blocktrail servers.
Additionally the Blocktrail wallet is a multi-signature 2of3 wallet, 1 is your primary master key, 1 is your backup key and the 3rd is the blocktrail server key.

So it's nothing that you should be afraid off , it's not like they are sending these informations to their servers or anything , in fact they don't store anything on their side as far as I know. only one of your private keys which is not enough to take control of your coins .
Alright, thanks. I like more the mobile app rather than the website wallet app. But what does HD wallet mean? sorry for the noob question

Hey ETFbitcoin thanks for giving Blocktrail a try, did you know you could sign up with a username instead of an email? This gives you greater privacy and doesn't link you to your identity
What are you using , smartphone wallet because I have nothing called PIN on my side (Web wallet) and I don't want to screw things up
Android wallet. I have created web wallet too, and there is no PIN on web wallet.you only need a pin to send bitcoin from your mobile wallet. it's an extra security for mobile apps. btw, make sure to use authy/2FA
Since this is a service discussion topic, i think this is the best way to give feedback of the app for developer.
We're going to add a reset button very soon, we hear ya.
But uninstalling and installing the mobile app again and login with email/pass does it solve this problem of PIN?
Yes that solves the problem of your PIN.
I just made a topic so you guys give your suggestions about the things that should be added to BlockTrail wallet : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blocktrailcom-wallets-your-suggestions-1181934 & yes they will be taken seriously .

Since there is no private key I wouldn't move to blocktrail, i see that their overall platform is great.
When blockchain is down i check there the transaction if confirmed or not etc..
If you haven't seen online to sign a message then you can do through coinbase.
Blocktrail uses 2 of 3 multisig method. They control one of the key while you control two of the key. Limits can be set and it would be impossible to bypass that limit without the 2 of your keys. I don't know the technical details about signing a multisig address but it would undoubtedly be harder than standard 1 address used by coinbase.When blockchain is down i check there the transaction if confirmed or not etc..
If you haven't seen online to sign a message then you can do through coinbase.
But we should analyze the worst case what if their website goes down.
Is there any way to recover and get back our btc? Yes or No?
Yeah that is how this should work but that does not happen all the time.
"Bter" exchange was hacked and the bitcoin were "stolen" from "cold wallet"
About the blocktrail i just installed their mobile app, the UI is perfect
For the UI is very good, simple and easy. But i have the problem when i forget my pin.
i can't recover my pin, since there is no button to reset my pin. I think you sholud add advance setting button to reset pin and password.
