RE: Account Security Is Hard. The Edge Wallet Does It Right.
Thanks for sharing this detailed review @lukestokes. I have heard of the Edge wallet, but never really gave it a chance. I try to stay away from mobile wallets, as I'm pretty big into security when it cryptocurrencies!
When it comes to wallets, I generally use a hardware wallet, and have some other things that I do to secure my cryptocurrencies. The issue with this is when I want to pay for things! For example, a cryptocurrency cafe has opened up in Dublin, where they accept cryptos. I realised when I was there the other day that I actually did not have any crypto that I could access on my phone, so had to pay with FIAT: I think that I'll download this wallet, test it out, then put enough money for a few weeks worth of cups of coffee in it if it goes well!
Thanks again for sharing this, I'm finding your posts really useful!
Can you blog about your experiences using it in a few weeks, assuming you actually do that? I don't know of a single physical location around me that takes any form of cryptocurrency, but the concept of being able to exchange it for something tangible in realtime fascinates me and seems like the biggest roadblock of serious real-world adoption.
I will yes, it will be interesting to see how well it works! There are very few places where I am from, maybe 10-20 max in a city of over one million people! Have a look at OMG, if they do what they say they can do, they could solve this issue. It's a big if though!
I'm glad you do! I hope you find this wallet helpful as well.
Cheers!
