I use this wallet with small amounts (less than 150 dollars), but today and before broadcast TX, a red notification appeared that I needed to update the wallet, so I went to Gooleplay and made sure that I updated the correct wallet and I was able to send without problems, but that update notification is still there (even it was lastest version)

I checked the Twitter account and did not find any tweet about the need to update the application. In the past, I was able to make transactions without having to download the latest version, so did I miss something?

Have you tried to completely delete the wallet (of course, making sure that you have a secret phrase saved) and install it again? This is the best way out in my opinion. Your problem looks like it's some kind of bug with an update notification, and probably a complete reinstall should help.

I recently switched to Electrum, but the Trust Wallet app remains. It shows version 7.16.2 and does not require an update. Neither in the app not in Google Play.

In general, I do not recommend this wallet, it has a closed source code and it is unclear who carried out the certification. I recently found out detailed information about it, after which I stopped using it.

Trust Wallet does not show some of the dusting tokens that I screenshot above and only some official tokens from airdrops that I have participated in, but the tokens have been abandoned. It's just a matter of deactivating them.

Yes. I think both of us refer to the same method of filtering tokens that can work on Trust Wallet, so that's that. Still, you can't do the same thing if they attack Bitcoin and similar networks, since you need coin control to manage the UTXO if you care about deanonymization issues. CMIIW.

But about attacking Bitcoin addresses, is there token dusting for Bitcoin addresses or networks?
I have never heard of it or know about it, because token dusting is more attacking on networks such as ERC20, BSC, Polygon, etc.
If there are too many attacks, it is not good to use it as storage for a lot of assets, I separate the main wallet with a wallet that is specifically for airdrops and some other interactions.

Yes, it happens quite often, far before airdrops and stuff like that become popular. I think you can search more about it on this forum, I've seen several threads discuss it in the past. It is understandable that they attack ERC and its derivatives nowadays since they can actually exploit and benefits from careless users due to the weakness in smart contracts.

OP, if your issue isn't resolved yet, when I have a similar case, I backup all my phrases, wipe the entire wallet cache and storage, making the wallet look as if it's just newly installed, then import back all your wallet and the error notification message will be gone.

Maybe it can be a solution. It will also appear for Wallet updates automatically.

Yes trust Wallet or similar wallets like safepal only show official Tokens that work with them.
If some scam tokens come in it will not be listed automatically, it has to be activated manually.
That is quite helpful to avoid scam tokens. But there will still be some notifications that there are new tokens coming in.

Using the Filter feature provided by Mobile Wallet will be very useful to avoid token dusting.
Or for features that may be needed regarding addresses affected by dusting, you can use Bitkeep Wallet, there are several security tools that can be used.

That's true, It's only tokens that are somehow listed as "partners" with TrustWallet or "popular" that are automatically shown on the updated version of TrustWallet; all these airdrops and random scam tokens won't just show up unless you manually import them yourself. It's just a wallet like SafePal mobile wallet and one other one that I have used that usually shows all the tokens in their balance database, both scam and spend ones, etc. You will have to be the one to manually disable them in order to see the tokens or coins you only desire to keep track of.

For ERC tokens and its derivative, it might not be a pain in the ass to handle, but you'll definitely find some trouble if they attack your Bitcoin address or something similar. It is better to use other wallets to manage your addresses if you got attacked by them.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, tron, ethereum.. use accounts model unlike bitcoin which uses the UTXOs model. This means it's not possible to freeze or select which coins to spend. When someone sends you some coins it gets credited to your account and your balance gets updated accordingly and when you send coins it gets deducted from your balance.
The dust attack (if exists) on accounts based blockchains is performed for spamming more than deanonymayion.

The fastest and safest way is to avoid it or hide the dusting tokens. I even got a lot of tokens dusting into one of my wallets.
This is probably due to some of the address's participation in Airdrops etc, so it's a target for token dusting.

Yeah, that's why I mention disabling those tokens unless you refer to something else. I don't think you can hide them from Trust Wallet even on the latest update other than doing that. For ERC tokens and its derivative, it might not be a pain in the ass to handle, but you'll definitely find some trouble if they attack your Bitcoin address or something similar. It is better to use other wallets to manage your addresses if you got attacked by them.

What we can do is probably disable those tokens from Trust Wallet so that you don't send them by mistake. You also need to isolate them if they target your BTC address or the like of it, so you need a wallet with good coin control to do that.

As far as I'm aware, any address is targeted by these kinds of attacks. They probably monitor platforms like casinos that you used to see which address is active or not, so there is no way to protect yourself unless you stop interacting with any contracts. CMIIW.

And the scammer sending the dusting tokens also looks at how many assets the address has.
If there are some valuable tokens they start sending token dusting.
Especially in the recent Arbitrum Airdrop (ARB) distribution, more and more dusting tokens are sent to random wallets.

Does anyone know how to avoid dusting attacks with Trust wallet? Because I just withdrew some USDTs through the Tron network from a casino, and I immediately got 2 dust transactions in TRX at my address used for the withdrawal. I don't like very much this kind of things since the allegations of an Operation Choke 2.0 against the crypto ecosystem from the US/Biden administration.

I don't think those attacks are targeted at any specific wallet though, so you'll get more or less the same thing if you use another wallet. I believe this is not related/addressed by the latest update either so you should make a new topic IMO.

I no longer use Trust Wallet as a wallet after the update request and have switched to Stack Wallet. I last used Trust Wallet on March 10th. On that date I made a transaction by sending some Bitcoin to the wallet, but the process took an unusual amount of time even though I did not change the fee as set.
Of the several transaction processes I did, the transaction on that day was relatively long.

I understand that you are having problems with your Bitcoin transactions while using Trust Wallet. Actually there are several factors that can affect the length of the transaction time. It should be understood that the Bitcoin transaction time depends not only on the wallet used, but also on the state of the Bitcoin network itself. If the network is busy, the transaction time may be longer than usual.

So far I've been safe using the Trust wallet, but your suggestion would also try using the Stack wallet, I'd also like to see a comparison between the two.

People have been saying here in the forum that Trust wallet is not yet reliable, instead they recommend Electrum. I don't normally use that wallet because of their high rate fees in transaction.

Are you referring to Electrum or Trust wallet when you say the high rate fees? From my experience with Trust Wallet at least, most of the time they set the fees to the average proposed fee for the next block, so if there is a spike you'd definitely pay more if you don't change it. Both of them can be changed though, so just make sure to double-check before you send your transactions.

Even though I no longer use Trust Wallet on my android smartphone it still hasn't uninstalled the app. In the display menu what's new of the Trust Wallet displayed on the application allows a long transaction situation when sending a small fraction of Bitcoin to another address lies in a spike in transactions on the network.

I don't see the update you're referring to, is it the 'pending transactions auto-appear'? Personally, I get similar issues when I used Trust Wallet in the past, it is just a UI bug though, it won't auto-broadcast transactions iirc. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the slow update of the auto fee when there is a spike on the network. CMIIW.

By the right the update notification sign not supposed show again since you have updated the latest version of the app. By the right Transferring the funds from the old version of the wallet has nothing to with the new version. Though there are some apps that would not permit you until you update the app. We thank God that you removed the funds that were in the wallet successfully.

My question is it safe to move our funds to an app that is not fully developed and still in beta mode?

There is no right or wrong answer here. They are still working on it to create a final product, so it's expected there are certain bugs that users can notice and report. Whether there is a serious vulnerability or even malicious code created by the development team is hard to tell. A beta product doesn't mean there is something wrong with the app where you will lose your money. Something like that can happen whether you are using an early access or final product.

Sure, the wallet is open-source, and you can check that if you know how to. But the average Joe doesn't. And since it's a relatively new product, it surely hasn't been audited and scrutinized as much as Electrum or Bitcoin Core, for example.

My suggestion: Don't hold many coins in any mobile wallet, Stack wallet or any other.
dkbit98 created Stack wallet for mobile? in January. You can read a little about it there.

I'm not sure if it's safe to answer if it's still in the development phase. But there are update notifications coming in for the Stack Wallet app.

The Stack Wallet app and other mobile wallet apps are only for small transactions I think there is not much need to store funds just in case.

After reading your post i also decided to install the stack wallet and see what it looks like. However, when I went to the Play Store, I found this message that the app is still in the beta version (development phase) . You can see it says "Early Access " Huh

Well, this may be your personal decision but i do not think that there is anything to worry about regarding the trust wallet. If there was an issue after the update or if this was a potential scam update not triggered by the trust wallet, many people would have lost the money and this would have been on social media.

If your transaction of yours took more time, it could have been any other issue as sometimes the network is congested but i really don't think that trust wallet update has anything to do with this issue.

As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with what you did because you checked their official page to see if they have the latest updates on their apps.

Why? Did you try to make a transaction and it ended up failing to release? Because I read something in the review feedback of truswallet in their playstore that someone tried to use its stakes or one of the pool in dapps and someone suddenly sent an alert message on the smart contract page that the transaction failed.

Maybe you should try to contact the support of trustwallet apps so that you can know more clearly why that is.

I noticed that when the cryptocurrency price is increasing, transaction would delay compared to when the price is a bit stable. Sometimes, in such situations, trust wallet would suggest automatically a fee that can make the transaction faster like $2 fee depending on the amount you wish to send. Hence trying to set the fee can waste lots of time and you' may end up regretting why the fee was set to a better amount to fasten the transaction. I remember waiting for 24 hrs to receive a payment, I don't know the wallet the client sent with, but I saw on explorer the fee was below $1.

If you don't pay enough, you will wait regardless if you used Trust Wallet, Electrum, or Bitcoin Core.

At the time of the transaction, the fees may be at a low rate, making the transaction slower than usual but not spending days waiting for the process to complete.
You are right that wherever the transaction is done without paying sufficient fees, we will wait longer and it is not a big deal because it is basically a passing experience.
