From where does it collect the price feed for crypto-to-crypto conversions? Anyone got more info?
Because they use Bransfer, that possible they use that application to collect all crypto exchanges API in one application. But I don't know how important that is. because when I want to trade my crypto, I always use price data from an exchange I want to transfer. it is real and more accurate than average.

First of all, I do not like a wallet that encourages fingerprint, I mean that makes it noticeable and possible during the wallet setup. Secondly, I like passhrase, it makes me to feel secure while I backup my wallet offline on paper, but the wallet do not support passphrase, even I wanted to import BIP39 passphrase along with seed phrase but that was not possible.
You don't have to use fingerprint, but all smartphones already have biometrics like face and fingerprints, so you shouldn't use any smartphone  Cheesy
Passphrase is a different story and I like it, but I don't see a point in using it for mobile wallets that holds small amount of coins.

Quite a weird choice of coins to support. I have never heard of Wownero or Epic Cash in my life.
It's all privacy based coins, wownero is monero fork with better privacy but it's a meme coin like doge.

So, you are given a choice to use standard seed backups or their own native backup method or how does it work? Can the Stack wallet recover wallets created by other BIP39-compatible bitcoin cliets?
Looks like they have two methods for backup, but I am no sure seed words are compatible with other BIP32 wallets.
I didn't test wallet with transactions, but I plan to test in soon and see if there is coin control and other features.

So, you are given a choice to use standard seed backups or their own native backup method or how does it work? Can the Stack wallet recover wallets created by other BIP39-compatible bitcoin cliets?
When you want to create a bitcoin wallet, it will generate you a BIP39 seed phrase which I used iancoleman to check if true or not. For each coins, it will generate you different seed phrase which depends on the coin of your choice that you select, you can only select one coin, no box available to check the coin of choice to make it a multi currencies wallet for a single seed phrase, it is different seed phrase for each coins.

Another type of backup is the file backup which can be 'auto backup' which backup your wallet data every 10 minutes on default but you can select other time range for the backup. The other is 'create manual backup' which is also the backup of the wallet files but just  in a way no automatic saving of wallet data every 10 minutes or the time chosen.

File backup can restore all the wallets (bitcoin and including all altcoins wallets) that you generated on the wallet app, unlike seed phrase, one seed phrase for one coin wallet, another seed phrase for another coin wallet. So both backup can be necessary to people. The file backup is encrypted.

Too bad, that's the main thing. It would be like deciding what car to buy, but without giving it a test drive. Any information about coin control, UTXO selection, or the liberty to enter your own fees?
If no comment about this, I will find a free time to review the wallet more and give answers to these. If it has fee customization, I still doubt it would have coin control because most wallets do not have it.

...it supports Bitcoin, Monero, Bitcoin Cash, Firo, Epic Cash, Namecoin, Wownero, Litecoin, and Dogecoin.
Quite a weird choice of coins to support. I have never heard of Wownero or Epic Cash in my life.

...for each coin I have to create new wallet, add name and generate seed words.
So, that's where it got it's name from. It's multiple standalone wallets stacked up to be used through the same interface.

Stack wallet have backup option but this is NOT compatible with any other bitcoin wallets, so I suggest keeping seed words instead of custom backup.

I didn't receive or send any transactions with Stack wallet, but this could be alternative if you want to keep few shitcoins along with Bitcoin as pocket money, don't use this wallet for larger amount of coins.

Did anyone else tried this wallet and what do you think about it?

Does it support HD wallet function for BTC ?
Does it have pay-to-many feature (in single transaction) like bluewallet?
Lightening support?
What types of BTC addresses supported ? ( can we access legacy and bech32 with same key here?)
From where does it collect the price feed for crypto-to-crypto conversions? Anyone got more info?
It is a HD wallet for bitcoin, I did not tried altcoins but you can even generate new address on the wallet if it is bitcoin.
I did not see anything like pay-to-many on the wallet, it is not supporting it.
It is not supporting lightning network
It supports segwit version 0 (bech32)

I never tried to use this wallet but it seems good if we know this wallet better, I've done also a short research, and I see not bad at all though there are minor problems like coins support I think that is very common on a decentralized and open-source wallet.

Stack wallet github page is available but I still didn't saw anyone confirming if their code is verified by wallet scrutiny or someone else:
https://github.com/cypherstack/stack_wallet
In addition, they also have Twitter and Reddit accounts which are also good to follow if you're interested in them.  I read on Twitter they have giveaways.

Yes, they're and it's Changenow.io which is I think NOT good for me, it has a high fee.

Never heard and tried this wallet before. Also i never used an open source multi crypto wallet before unlike coinomi and trustwallet which are opposite, or I guess there is no open source multi crypto wallet yet so this should be a must to try.

There are not many open source Bitcoin wallets and even less of them for other cryptocurrencies, but recently I saw one called Stack wallet and I didn't saw anyone talked about it in forum.

I decided to install Stack wallet and make a quick test to see if it is any good or not.
Website stackwallet.com is saying that Stack is open source privacy-preserving cryptocurrency non-custodial wallet, and it supports Bitcoin, Monero, Bitcoin Cash, Firo, Epic Cash, Namecoin, Wownero, Litecoin, and Dogecoin.

Installation was quick, I was asked if I want privacy or regular mode (with coingecko prices), and for each coin I have to create new wallet, add name and generate seed words.
You can select your own Bitcoin node, and there is built-in exchange in wallet, but I think they are using some third party centralized exchanges.

 

Stack wallet have backup option but this is NOT compatible with any other bitcoin wallets, so I suggest keeping seed words instead of custom backup.
I didn't receive or send any transactions with Stack wallet, but this could be alternative if you want to keep few shitcoins along with Bitcoin as pocket money, don't use this wallet for larger amount of coins.

Stack wallet github page is available but I still didn't saw anyone confirming if their code is verified by wallet scrutiny or someone else:
https://github.com/cypherstack/stack_wallet

From my short testing  I can say this is not a bad wallet, but alternative called Unstoppable wallet looks and works much better for me.
Another alternative open source wallet is called Cake wallet, that is oriented more towards Monero, but Bitcoin and Litecoin are also supported.

Did anyone else tried this wallet and what do you think about it?
