Topic: Launch of Ghost Electrum (Read 154 times)

lol this guy gets it, thanks for the support BenCodie. You seem like a decent guy. The ecosystem needs more people like you 🤙

The project was originally started by John McAfee but its been community ran since late 2021. We're just a small group of people trying to bring more privacy utilities to our users and anyone else who's interested.

If anything about the project inruiges you or anyone else you're welcome to stop by and say hi! 👋

Its common to make a fork of open source wallet code and have the type of wallet in the name. Everyone does it and those that don't are only trying to hide that fact. IMO.

Anyways, GHOST is still developing new stuff, latest being a Wrapped Ghost token on Polygon and a bridge currently in testing!

You both could say the same about Litecoin, who name their electrum wallet Electrum-LTC. The name is used because that is the technology/software that is being used for the wallet. There is nothing wrong with including Electrum in the name. Electrum is software. If I create PlopCoin and fork electrum for it, and call it PlopCoin Electrum Wallet, people will know that it is the Electrum wallet software being used for PlopCoin.

Aside from these shitposts, it is funny (also sad) to see how many other incompetent people shitposted in this thread. It is clear that this wallet is only for "Ghost" and yet most are posting as if it is a wallet for more than that. Whether the project is good or not aside, I feel sorry for the OP...
Really OP? Using "McAfee" in your project channel names? John McAfee has been reported dead...unless this is a lie and you are him/promoting for him, then why is this included in the post?

Yeah, that is the confusion there, I mean if they are not related to Electrum itself, then why used their name?

So I agree with what the community is saying, it's hard to trust this wallet.

Is this open source wallet btw?

Yes, this is a very important point, and I agree with you about it. Is there any connection with the Electrum wallet, which is very well known to the Bitcoin community? If there is no connection, this name will be considered an exploitation of the well-known trademark, perhaps phishing too!!

In addition, I did not find any review on Google Play so that we know at least the opinion of the people who have tried it.

Despite the name used, as mentioned by @MWppW, Ghost electrum is a fork of electrum made for the coin store they developed. Ghost Electrum naming. not entirely good, because there is an electrum element, so that makes the members a little hesitant to try it. If indeed anyone can check every code in the source code, please check, and let us know if something goes wrong. But if it's pure, there are only changes for coins that can be accepted, meaning that this is for the storage of the Ghostcoin.

Then, there is one thing I wanted to ask @OP. on Github the domain of this project is https://ghostbyjohnmcafee.com/ is this McAfee's project

Then why creating an Electrum to support Ghost when the developers of such apps can simply name it Ghost Coin wallet and that should be much better and not create confusion for people.I think though that the majority of the people who are dealing with crypto since a long time they have already settled what wallets they use,they use Electrum/Hardware wallet for their Bitcoin operations and there are a lot of multi currency wallets that most likely the majority of us use for such other cryptos like,Exodus,Atomic and Zelcore wallets to name a few.

For coins like this there is Metamask as the best wallet.

The problem is that you cannot use the original Electrum to manage Ghost Coin. It is only for Bitcoin. Ghost Electrum is open source, as it should be.

Ghost Electrum was obviously created on the play store so that it can be downloaded to the mobile phones of individual users in the crypto industry, that's why I see it causing confusion for most of the Electrum wallet users.

So if you ask me, it's still better to use the original electrum than the ghost electrum promoted by OP, I'm just telling the truth, because it's hard nowadays to just trust new cryptocurrency app wallets. But, of course it still depends on the research of other communities here if they still want to try it, they are free to do so.

The name itself is fishy, why they even use the name Electrum while they know it is belong to a popular Bitcoin wallet? They just want to have a quick recognition??

Since they've been working with this wallet, they should know that people are looking into the kind of wallet where they can trust the owner and the Devs behind it. No one will ever try to put some crypto on some random wallet like this without any proper Data or Ann Thread.

No, they have official channels to announce this if its from the Electrum wallet.

This is not from the official Electrum team. Right?
I have no confidence in using or recommending this wallet to anyone. If it is not from the official Electrum wallet, why would you use the name Ghost Electrum in the wallet name? Just to confuse and attract the customers 

Will like to hear views and feedback from other members of this forum about this wallet.

Wallet launching is very much different from the other project launch because it involves your assets you don't launch it like this be professional and put it in the right section, where people are looking for wallet information not here in the Altcoin discussion, this is a discussion about altcoin, not a wallet, I also check your website it's blocked by my anti-virus because of the certificate, configure your certificate first you're losing visitors and users ifAV keep blocking your site.

Point is, at least OP should have given it a lot of thought and effort rather than making such a post at all. If one is very excited in the release of their app, shouldn't it be evident in the announcement first and foremost? I'm not accusing the app and its creators anything, just agreeing with the other commenter that there should have been "more" with this announcement of theirs. Hopefully OP relaunches and with a lot of effort the second time around.

Its a legit wallet. It's specifically for the ghost privacy project. Cleanly forked from the #1 electrum app on the app store. It's just an announcement. Relax

Forgive me if I’m wrong but i won’t put a single dollar in you wallet, first the announcement here on bitcointalk is very bad looking, you could buy a copper membership so you can add pictures and good design launch  announcement with much details to attract people. What this wallet has and do you charge extra fees. Which coins do you accept.
Second your application on android is also looking so old and copied from very old android apps without any attraction. Beside security and garantie of losing assets.
You miss many things to gain people’s trust

We are very excited to announce the launch of Ghost Electrum!

This is a lightweight wallet that delivers speed and security right from your Android device! Users can download the official Ghost Electrum App directly from the Google Play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ghost.ghostelectrum&hl=en_US&gl=US

Ghost Electrum paves the way for Ghost to be integrated into hardware wallets such as Trezor & Ledger. This is because the wallet supports third-party plugins which users have complete authority over.

A huge advantage of this wallet is the easy to use coin control features. This takes managing your coins to a whole new level!

For those who do not want to use the Google Play store or are unable to access it, the apks can be downloaded here: https://github.com/ghost-coin/ghost-electrum/releases/tag/4.3.3
