Good review, thanks, actually I will like to know if trust wallet or enjin wallet is open source, I haven't been able to find answers to this since a while now, I use trust wallet and that Infinito wallet to store EOS but Enjin wallet is badass, it combined all available wallets in crypto space in one, that's if you want to import seed or private keys into enjin wallet, the options are huge, whichever wallet you are coming from enjin Wallet got your back.

Not in "a while". Veriphi has updated it within the last two or three months. Plus the point is for newbies to know what their wallets truly are, and to know the difference "why" open source is safer than proprietary software.

I believe Bitcoin, and the open source software ethos, should go hand in hand, not only as a philosophy, but for better OPSEC as well.

For plebs, although it's bad OPSEC, I believe it MIGHT be OK to use a wallet to HODL some $100 worth of altcoins, but would you actually trust a wallet that's not fully open source for $500,000 worth of altcoins?

Nobody can claim otherwise in this regard. Hot wallets always pose risks. However, I have never encountered anyone who has had a big problem with the wallets I shared here.

Cold wallets should always be preferred for investments involving large sums. For this, you can find dozens of reviews written in the forum. Especially Ledger and Trezor may be one of the best options in this regard.
And if you want to see how important cold wallets are, watch the short film in the post I quoted below. This fan-made amateur movie can help you have a great half hour.


For HODLING your savings in cryptocurrencies, it's always better to over-shoot security, than under-shoot it in my opinion.

I would never recommend any wallet that isn't fully open source, especially to plebs who HODL with everything they have left.

I think it's all about the hot wallets you're talking about. In this case, can we find out what your suggestion is?
Choosing a wallet is not an easy task. If you want your assets to be safe, you need to be very careful. It also needs to be useful. My purpose in creating this topic is to find useful ones. I would be happy to see a topic on security.


For Bitcoin wallets, I would suggest users who want to HODL Bitcoin a large part of their life-savings to read Veriphi's wallet comparison, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aZ1zbaUEzCo9NCctN8-eL2VLIiSdY009tTJvRXDUWEw/edit?usp=sharing

For large part of life-savings in altcoins, use the official software.

For small amounts, use any wallet, BUT trusted sources.

I know that Veriphi's wallet reviews already. But I think it has not updated a while. I see that some newly released crypto wallets are not listed.
The subject of the wallet is really complicated. Usability, security, network status etc. It is not easy to evaluate them individually and make a healthy decision.

My personal preference is to evaluate my long-term investments in hardware wallets and my short-term investments in useful mobile wallets. Also, I do not forget to change my addresses in mobile wallets frequently.

I've used trust wallet and Infinito wallet but for different reasons, I used trust wallet for altcoins and tokens because it's easier to use, no need to add tokens manually but I tried to use Infinito wallet for EOS but the experience is not so good

I have used all those wallets. Agreed with all points of thread owner. To me, I am not familiar with the code analysis, so i m not going to choose that security privacy. I think I will be comfortable with those ones which are able to export the private key, it's definitely easy to use, also I can protect my assets as well. Trust wallet and Infinito wallet are ones I used to use for 2 years but personally, I prefer using Infinito wallet because I could receive an active support from Admin team. They are so nice all the time I need helps.

OP, your reviews are appreciated, but can you make your reviews to especially include the security information about, latest known vulnerabilities, and if the vulnerability is patched?


Actually, I'm staying away from security matters. Because as you know it is not a certain thing that anyone talks about it.

For example, due to a security weakness in the wallet application published by IOTA, they had to stop their network from working for days.

The security status of the wallets can be very good today, but a security vulnerability may occur with a future update. Therefore, I am not willing to give too many ideas about security. It is necessary to follow the updates constantly in this regard.


Then update the report, especially for the newbies. Not open source is already a "trusting a 3rd-party-security-hole", and add a "no report of vulnerability, and if patched", doesn't help.

Updated:

IMPORTANT: I have no connection with any wallet in which I wrote my opinions in this topic. I only studied the features of the wallets and wanted to convey my own opinions. Sometimes our friends are just looking for a few simple features. I found it appropriate to create this topic to help with this kind of situation.

I did not have any information about software security, so I could not perform any examination on those issues. So please do your own security research before using these wallets !!!

I think you did not understand the point @pooya87 mentioned. there are basic and additional features. You spoke extensively about the additional features, (you did not talk about the basic.)
For example, is the wallet open source or closed? Developers? Code update? Is the data encrypted? lightning network? Segwit support? Is the wallet encrypted? Recovery options?
Then you can talk about the other features.

You can use this code.

Finally, to give an example, I used the Infinito wallet for a long time. When I check in this process, I see that Infinito has released more than 10 updates. It is not easy to follow them all the time. We call these wallets hot wallets, so I don't think it's right to have assets over a long period of time.

INFINITO WALLET

Quote

I met with Infinito wallet when they were giving free EOS wallet for promotion. I've started to use it and used for a while. Actually it is one of my favorites but they have some disadvantages also.
They are keeping develop their wallet software day by day. They have a good and working team for wallet. It is rare but Infinito has its own token. INFT listed on Bitmax already.

1-   It is another multi-coin wallet and it supports a lot of coins. They continue to add new coins every day.
2-   It has a big DAPP market in it. Also unlike most wallets, it has Binance DEX access directly. Apart from that, unfortunately, there is no dapp browser feature. In other words, it is not possible to access other applications other than DAPPs that Infinito officially supports. But I must say that one of the most stable DAPP running wallets is Infinito.
3-   It is possible to make atomic swaps with Changelly integration. But conventionally, its fee costs are very high.
4-   Infinito wallet doesn't have XPUB feature either. However, it is possible to create an unlimited number of wallets. Although not as useful as the XPUB, it allows you to create at least multiple wallets.
5-   You can adjust transaction fee with Infinito wallet. If you want to make transaction with Ethereum tokens, don't forget to hold ETH. You will need ETH when you sending ETH tokens.
6-   Unlike other wallets, there is a reward section integrated into the wallet, although it is not very useful. Here you can earn tokens with airdrop, bounty and reference. But I have to say that it is not functional a while.
7-   You can import your existing wallets easily in Infinito wallet. Also you can add your public key and just follow its balance easily.
8-   There is a theme option. You can select a theme. I am using dark one.
9-   Initially, it allows you to add security options such as password, fingerprint or facial recognition.
10-   It allows you to save your favorite wallet addresses and access those wallet addresses from the registry again.
11-   The user bar under your wallet can be personalized.
12-   You can export your all private keys with Infinito wallet. And you can use these wallets with another place or its own blockchain applications. As an example, unfortunately some Ethereum tokens are not listed on the Infinito wallet. To use them, simply add a private key to another wallet.
13-   You can buy some coins with Infinito wallet. Infinito is constantly organizing campaigns so you may pay a lower commission on purchases.

Let's talk a little bit about our criticism. I think it has very good properties and is useful in general. However, I still notice some of its shortcomings.
First of all, although the wallet contains many features, it works very slowly even on my phone with 6gb ram I bought in late 2019. It can only take 10-15 seconds to open, and I don't think this has anything to do with device capacity. There seems to be some sort of stability problem.

Unlike other wallets, I said he had his own token. Again, a different wallet like membership has been added. So you need to create an account on Infinito to use some extra features. I don't think this was necessary.

Ah, so that's what you meant. Looks like I misunderstood your previous post.

Yeah, there's no option to change your receiving address and that's a bummer for me too. A workaround would be creating multiple wallets but that's so ineffective.

By the way, let me talk about a feature that is not on Trust wallet. As you know, wallets generally offer XPUB for BTC and LTC. But the Trust wallet does not feature XPUB addresses.

Are you sure? My latest version of Trust wallet offers this option. If you check the wallet details, there is an option to export the XPUB key for Bitcoin & Litecoin and many more. Well, it's true that they don't offer "xpub....." and "zpub..." instead, but that's because they use bc1 addresses.

There are some zbup and xpub file in settings but Trust still doesn't offer Xpub wallet addresses for us.
I am using same BTC address for 5-6 months. So there is no option that I can change wallet when I want.
But in Enjin wallet, I can see different BTC wallets after each transaction. I also can reach all wallets with just a file.

ENJIN WALLET

Quote

Enjin wallet, which is known to many people with the announcement that it will be integrated into Samsung Galaxy 10 devices about a year ago. I think it's another wallet worth evaluating. Let me warn you, Enjin wallet is not a wallet with such fancy promises. It does not have a super interface also. It is just simple and useful. In fact, I am also sure that this is just what it takes. I have been using Enjin wallet for over a year. And I am very pleased that it is useful. But the number of coins it supports is extremely low.

Features;

1-   Enjin Wallet is also a multi-coin wallet, but unfortunately it does not offer as many options as Trust, which I mentioned in the previous post. It is basically a wallet in which BTC, ETH, LTC and BNB and their tokens can be used.
2-   Like Trust, Enjin has a DAPP market. It does not have a rich DAPPS market as Trust, but it is likely to develop soon.
3-   Although it does not have its own DEX application or add-on like Trust, it is an exchange-enabled wallet thanks to swap applications. When we slide the screen from left to right, if we choose the exchange from the menu that comes up, you will see the options "you send-you receive". When you select the coins and tokens you want to exchange from here, it will show you the offers of the platforms that can provide this. At this stage, Enjin wallet offers you a some options which you can use integrated with Enjin wallet (Changelly, Kyber Network and Bancor...) Enjin can offer you dynamic and fixed offers with 2 options. Thus, even if the fee you pay when you select the fixed option is slightly higher, you can see the figure you will get.
4-   Enjin wallet is designed as a wallet that is fully decentralization. Thanks to the XPUB feature, you will have more than one wallet adress and it all will be visible behalf after each transaction and prevent you from being revealed your identity with different payments you will receive. By the way, let me explain that the wallet you used in the previous one can still be actively used. So do not be afraid that the wallet address has changed. All transaction will be arrived still. In the use of this feature, you can access all addresses by clicking the 3 dots on the upper right in the relevant coin and you can download that XPUB addresses file and see all the addresses defined to you. But this is not recommended. Because if someone gets this file, the anonymity of all these wallets will be gone.
5-   You can adjust transaction fee when you are sending a coin with Enjin wallet. Although the wallet offers you the most suitable option for the current situation of the network, you can also adjust it manually.
6-   With the notification feature, it is possible to receive the notification of the cryptos coming to your wallet.
7-   As s security tools, you can add password and fingerprint layer on your wallets. So when you open the application, you should provide a password or fingerprint.
8-   There is an option to import your old wallets to Enjin. And you can add as many wallets as you want.

As a result, I like Enjin wallet and I am using it still.
So but I have to say negative feedbacks also.
Well I like Enjin wallet but its interface doesn't look professional. It is like ancient version of any other wallet. Simple but it can be good than that! There isn't even dark theme in it. You can reach your private keys like Trust wallet also. Yet another issue is that only a wallet that runs on mobile does not have an application or login to different platforms. I think it is a beautiful wallet that needs improvement. I think they should create a desktop wallet asap.

good job but now try adding the following more important information to each wallet you review:
1. is it open source? if yes add a link to their GitHub


https://github.com/trustwallet/

Not fully, I believe just some parts of TrustWallet is open source.

Quote

2. is the code on GitHub being updated and corresponds with what they release or is it there for show and has not been updated for a long time aka released binaries aren't related to the source


There are no packages on Github. It's a mobile wallet.

Quote

3. are the releases signed using PGP


I believe that, you trust, and hope that Apple App Store and Google Play Store did their jobs.

It also requires us to always use Trust wallet for the wallet we use. It is not possible to use the wallets we have acquired here from a different wallet. Because we cannot obtain the private key information of any of our wallets.

You can still export the seed as far as I'm aware. So it's not necessarily Trust wallet exclusive.

This method works for Ethereum wallets. So if you want to use it in a different wallet with your seed keys, your Ethereum address remains the same. But this is not possible for Bitcoin and other coins.

By the way, let me talk about a feature that is not on Trust wallet. As you know, wallets generally offer XPUB for BTC and LTC. But the Trust wallet does not feature XPUB addresses.

Although I usually write in my native language, I wanted to share my opinions about crypto wallets here.
In fact, I have already shared my wallet reviews in Turkish. Now I wanted to present my views to more people by translating them here into English.
I hope you will like it.



TRUST WALLET
ENJIN WALLET
INFINITO WALLET




IMPORTANT: I have no connection with any wallet in which I wrote my opinions in this topic. I only studied the features of the wallets and wanted to convey my own opinions. Sometimes our friends are just looking for a few simple features. I found it appropriate to create this topic to help with this kind of situation.

I did not have any information about software security, so I could not perform any examination on those issues. So please do your own security research before using these wallets !!!



First of all, I want to state that I have tried more than one wallet before making these reviews. I tried to list the most useful ones for me.

TRUST WALLET

Quote

This crypto wallet from Binance is no doubt one of the best in the last period. Trust wallet, which everyone finds easy to use, also has a door opening feature to Binance DEX, which is the biggest difference from others. If you want to log in to Binance.org and proceed through the "connect wallet" option, you can start trading on binance.org with a simple QR code scan from TrustWallet. In this DEX where you can trade BNB and BNB tokens, you can technically use it in BTC. But for this, you need to convert your BTC fixed tokens to BTCB via Binance first.

Features;

1- Multi Coin Support: Besides BTC, ETH, BNB, TRX, XLM, Doge, it also supports the tokens of the networks to which these coins are connected. And more and more coins continue to be supported by Trust wallet.
2- With the DApps platform, it is possible to reach staking, DEXs, auto-swaps, and gambling dapps. You can also reach other dapps with its dapp browser easily. For example I've joined Ferrum Network's staking pools easily.
3- As I mentioned above, besides its transportation to DEX, there is a chance to trade directly from the mobile wallet with instant swap logic. You can use market trades or instant trade both you want to use.
4- It allows you to open one or more wallets. Each wallet has its own seed keys separately. (Don't forget about get your seed keys with safely)
5- As a security measure, additional security elements such as passwords and fingerprints can be enabled at the settings.
6- It can be used as light and dark with 2 different themes.
7- When sending coins or tokens, transaction fee or GAS fee can be adjusted using the settings tab at the top right.
8- Trust wallet is supporting TRX, ATOM and XTZ staking for now. And they will start to support Waves, IoTeX and Compound soon also. And you may find a lot of staking options with its DAPP tab. Aave, 0XStaking and TOMOMaster ...etc. There are a lot of staking options in there.
9- Within the application, you can see the data for graphics, market value, 24-hour volume, circulating amount and total amount for each coin or token. For this, after clicking on the coin of your choice, just click on the graphic icon in the upper right.
10- It is possible to add old wallets. It is also possible to create as many wallets as you want. Just click the setting button and pick wallets then you can see "+" at the top of right. Create your new Trust wallet or import your old wallets.
11- You can create your wallets offline with Trust app. Turn of your internet connection and create your new wallet with Trust if you want.


Although the wallet is supported by Binance, it also offers support for many coins that are not yet listed on Binance. (For example DGB). And I think it has its shortcomings. First of all, there is no desktop or browser version of the wallet. It can only be used on mobile devices.
It also requires us to always use Trust wallet for the wallet we use. It is not possible to use the wallets we have acquired here from a different wallet. Because we cannot obtain the private key information of any of our wallets. Finally, thanks to the wallets that support Lighting network, "bc" is at the beginning of BTC addresses and "lc" is at the beginning of LTC addresses. This can cause confusion from time to time.
