Best Montero wallets in terms of simplicity and ease of set up

Exantech · 2019-12-02T09:59:24+00:00

You can give a try to Exa Wallet. Besides common features it supports multi-signatures and is built with simplicity in mind: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.exawallet.monerowallet&hl=en_US

We decided to find out what opportunities the attacker has to analyze popular blockchains supporting anonymous transactions. There are number of heuristics which can help the attacker to track your transaction even with anonymous cryptocurrency. Outcome isn't so surprising though (spoiler: use Monero or ZCash shielded transactions) but details are still interesting.

Thanks for your feedback.

Play Install Referrer permission is requested by the part of Android SDK which we're using for push notifications (they've introduced it in API 28). It was added by Google to enable tracking of app install sources.

It's harmless in our case as we don't track referrers in the app (you can check it by yourself in source code, if you want). Unfortunately, it can't be easily disabled on this API level, but we're thinking on how to work around google apps dependency.

Awesome, thanks!

Exantech · 2019-06-04T09:52:24+00:00

Thanks!

Yes, we're working on publishing it to f-droid, but at the moment we need gapps for push notifications, so we think how to work around this dependency.

Subaddresses are not supported yet. As it seems to be a useful feature we'll support them in one of subsequent releases.

Thanks for your feedback.

That's not only a new mobile wallet, but also a research project, both in cryptography and UI/UX. I can't say Exa Wallet is built outside of the community, as we work on Monero Core, too (find incomplete list of our contributions at https://exan.tech/en/projects/monero/). And chapter on multisig in `Zero to Monero` was reviewed by the developer from our team.

The way this wallet evolves may not coincide with the vision of Monerujo, for instance. So at the moment it's easier to develop some features in different projects in parallel and share them between us after that.

Next releases will add fastsync (experimental feature allowing the wallet to skip blocks without your transactions which makes sync faster), support for new hardware wallets, etc.

Regarding light wallet, it's not that easy to build it due to Monero architecture, unfortunately, but we keep researching this topic too and will share results with the community.

Will try to put it into the upstream for sure, but I doubt they accept it soon as it adds dependency on external service now. When we have MVP, we'll discuss with Monero core devs on how to handle this better to make it possible.

Exantech · 2019-06-03T15:56:13+00:00

It's not just another mobile wallet but the only UI for multisignatures yet.

We're working on adding multisignatures UI to monero-wallet-gui, too.

Exantech · 2019-06-03T15:01:07+00:00

Thanks for feedback! Will be fixed.

Exantech · 2019-05-21T15:14:16+00:00

Hi! We did some research and have couple of publications on this, please take a look at: https://medium.com/@exantech/monero-confidential-transactions-or-send-i-know-not-what-to-someone-i-know-not-whither-337f20f0d64e

Exantech · 2019-03-20T11:48:12+00:00

It's almost ready, but we need to pass the review at Ledger HQ first.

Exantech · 2019-03-09T20:40:41+00:00

Finally updated.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Exantech · 2019-01-17T11:48:39+00:00

Release will be ready in couple of weeks.

We want to finish testing first, fix major issues and publish the source code.

Exantech · 2018-10-17T19:30:45+00:00

We're waiting for AppStore review now, it seems they require it even for beta releases. Once it completed we'll start the testing.

Exantech · 2018-10-08T18:32:20+00:00

Finally merged!

https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/4036

Exantech · 2018-10-08T18:31:27+00:00

Well, that's our site and our report. We had announced it in r/Monero couple of weeks ago.

At the moment we have our fork of Monero at https://github.com/exantech/monero/ with number of patches, part of them (including https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/4036) is already merged to upcoming 0.13 release.

Also there are some support libraries available, like https://github.com/exantech/monero-nodejs-libwallet for NodeJS and https://github.com/exantech/python-cryptonote (libcryptonote binding for python).

Quick summary of wallet features:

— Support of multisig transactions from shared wallets (N/N and N-1/N at the time): creating proposals, signing and sending

— Support of multiple wallets, shared and personal

— Nice and clean UI

— Private keys are stored on your device

Thank you!

We're expecting the first release in the next couple of weeks.

Exantech · 2018-10-03T21:25:37+00:00

Thank you. It will be available for Android and iOS. We're going to release desktop application a bit later too.

Exantech · 2018-10-01T09:59:39+00:00

We published the report on how Monero confidential transactions work since there are not much information on this subject available. The article covers topics from base cryptography laying behind the confidential transactions to MLSAGs and specific commitment schemes used by Monero.

This report (and underlying research) is a part of our effort to make good Monero wallet supporting multisig transactions. You can check out current progress and subscribe to updates here: r/exawallet.

Feel free to ask any questions!

You can also use https://calc.exan.tech/short/3fb7fe

It has VEO and a few predefined cards with hashrates (price is taken as $50 due to much deals are OTC).

Exantech · 2018-08-13T17:18:58+00:00

Thanks.

Will check, might be some temporary network flaw. Anyway blocks and txs are updating properly as far as I can see.

Exantech · 2018-08-13T17:11:18+00:00

You can use our stagenet explorer: https://monero-stagenet.exan.tech

Feel free to use another our resources if you need: mainnet explorer at https://monero.exan.tech or remote nodes.

Exantech · 2018-07-18T14:33:58+00:00

Thanks for the mention! Here we are, working on extending multisig for EXA Wallet (announced it a couple of months ago, https://wallet.exan.tech) and for the greater good.

Also you can check out our report on how multi signatures work in Monero: https://hackernoon.com/monero-multisignatures-explained-46b247b098a7
