Account Security Is Hard. The Edge Wallet Does It Right.
The business I co-founded over 10 years ago (FoxyCart) has focused extensively on the complexities of online security. Having processed over a billion dollars through our platform and managed encrypted credit card numbers and customer data for many thousands of stores and their customers, I get how hard it is do it right.

<h2>I think the Edge Wallet does it right.</h2>

Previously called Airbitz, Edge is a simple to use, secure cryptocurrency wallet for your phone. I was really impressed with their team which I met at Anarchapulco. They had a booth set up and were giving away a bit of free cryptocurrency to anyone who installed the wallet. I tried it out and loved it! No, they didn't ask me to do a review, but after I spoke at length with RJ Ricasata, their QA and support manager and later with Paul Puey (@paullinator), the CEO and Co-Founder, I knew I wanted to.

Here's a basic overview of how they handle security from <a href="https://edgesecure.co/">their website</a>:

The way they encrypt information directly on the phone and use that login and password to securely encrypt and secure a password recovery solution really impressed me.

As I started working through the app, I liked it even more. I took some screenshots while I was setting it up and really liked the on-boarding flow which also educates the user:

</center>

The Edge Wallet supports Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dash, Ethereum and all ERC20 tokens.

On my last day at Anarchapulco, I had lunch with @jonathanmohan, and he paid me in Dash using the Edge Wallet (he didn't have to pay me back, but I think we both just wanted an excuse to use it). It's really slick.

I've been involved in cryptocurrency since January of 2013 and so many applications in the blockchain space are just too complicated for every day "normal" users to figure out. The Edge Wallet, I think, makes things simple with an elegant user interface without sacrificing account security.

They've also extended their model so other systems can use their authentication APIs instead of rolling their own. If you're a developer in this space, definitely check them out: <a href="https://edgesecure.co/developer/">https://edgesecure.co/developer/</a>. Examples of projects which have already integrated with Edge for authentication include Augur, Wings, and Open Ledger.

If you're looking for a good, multi-currency crypto wallet for both IOS and Android, I'm going to be recommending the Edge Wallet. Keep in mind, no security system is perfect, so always stay informed about the tools you use and keep your software up-to-date as this environment is constantly evolving.

I hope this review helps you if you're looking for a good mobile wallet to store some spending cryptocurrency. Find out more including where to download it here: https://edgesecure.co/

This is good news and fun. Although I am not an expert and not a person who understands crypto, but I think this is a good future. I imagine in the future the development of crypto will be more modern and far away from paper money. For example we are no longer busy carrying a lot of money while traveling. Enough with one tool only we can buy everything like shopping to minimarket, or pay a starbuck coffee. This is totally unexpected. Just like the first time people switch to using atm cards to shop.

On the other hand, I think the development of crypto can also be one good alternative for the development of early education to self-help communities that are working to help civil society in both conflict and disaster areas, in this case the quick delivery of money to cope.

Hopefully we are always healthy to see the development together.

I think in this modern world we cannot trust anyone but ourselves. I think every wallet and every website is hackable and the best thing is to write you secret codes to your personal book/diary 
thats it.

I did try to install and use edge wallet, design is attractive, how they handle security is 9 out of 10. However, there downfall, it doesn't compatible with some old android phone. Compare to other wallet who offer the same security, coinomi does. It support even the lowest version of android phone and old os android 4.2.0.

I prefer Electrum - it's been around longer than the others, is fast, safe and the most secure IMHO.  But don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself.  It's free and the simply the easiest of them all.

Thank you for the review! I Had not heard about the Airbitz re-brand yet. 

End user experience is so important that I'm happy to see it being recognized and addressed within multiple efforts, Dash comes to mind as one. Thanks for highlighting the experience.

How are the tx fee settings? I screwed up using Mycelium once and underfunded a tx. Immediately followed by over-funding the next one - Doh!

I haven't messed with that yet, but the AirBitz site says you can click on miner fee to select "Low, Standard, or High" so it should be flexible there.

Hi @lukestokes ! Thanks for your recommendation about edge wallet! I currently use trezor, but will consider this one for mobile use.

By the way, continuing with the @steem-ambassador guild shout out, I just posted  a shoutout for the whales and huge investors on the steem blockchain, for delegation to the @steem-ambassador guild! I saw over 2 million in delegations in the last week, and just 2.5% of that on the @steem-ambassador would make a huge difference! Huge!

Here it is:
[How 50,000 SP Initial Delegation Will Help @Steem-Ambassador Reward Hundreds of Voluntarysts Already Spreading the Word About the Steem Blockchain and Using #Promo-Steem Tag](https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@gold84/how-50-000-sp-initial-delegation-will-help-steem-ambassador-reward-hundreds-of-voluntarysts-already-spreading-the-word-about-the)

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Regards, @gold84

Constant means of theft only show the severity in which hardships man has to face (regardless of greed). 

I'm excited for Blockchain and these future technologies. As they have not only helped everyone here, but will change the very face of this planet as time pushes forward. 

The more man helps one another, the less thieving there will be on the planet thus easing the tensions of things... 

..But.. 

Will man ever decide to stand up and reach out his hand to all those in need... If he knows that he can pull that hand back.. And potentially make a profit πŸ€”βœ¨

The android app is new and not tested much. Initial reviews are confusing but I am not worried after reading your post. Edge wallet app is what I am going to use and test for sure. Bitcoin wallets are Segwit enabled so there is an advantage to store Btc on this wallet. More crypto wallets are enabling Segwit support, which is great for Bitcoin.

That is the key, isn't it? 9 out of 10 I talk to about cryptos in real life don't have a clue about the goings on and are too intimidated to try. They key thing for mass adoption is to make it accessible to normal users. I'm so happy for the new products that are popping up these days. They're so simple to use because they obfuscate any complexity involved. The only thing people need to be careful of is to learn how to distinguish those services that are genuine from the fraudulent. I just took a look at Edge and it looks like a very cool product. The authentication they use seems really innovative. Thanks for sharing it, Luke! I hope that it adds support for more coins soon, so that the battle of the multi-currency wallets would be a competitive one.

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 always think about trust whenever I see an app like this. I "trust" my bank because I have to trust **a bank** and have been with them for long enough that based on their past history I'm relatively certain that they won't rip me off. And even if they do, I assume that the federal goverment's consumer protections will protect me (though we can obviously have a conversation about whether that's a good assumption).

One of the problems that I've had getting in to cryptocurrency is this trust. While I can trust the math as much as I'm able to understand it (though I'd be lying if I said I completely understood it) as a developer I have a harder time putting trust in a software package from another developer and my phone.

Without being a security expert, how do you go about vetting a wallet such as this to know that when they say they have no access to my currency that they really don't?

For the record it is open source which means that anyone can inspect the code. There are vetted teams integrating Edge into their applications, including Augur & Wings and a growing list of teams.

The Edge team has invited security experts to inspect their code, but you can also never be 100% certain that something is completely secure.

While open source is awesome and I trust it more than closed source for security, just because the code is **able** to be audited doesn't mean that someone with the skills to do so have actually audited it. How long was that OpenSSL bug around last year before it was found? 

I mean, I'm still going to try this one out, but how a technical end user that is not a security expert properly vets something like this is not an easy problem!

It's a good question, Omni. For me, "trust" in the banks is completely lost because I've been paying attention to what they've been doing worldwide and because the purchasing power of the dollar is constantly being eroded. Some who are living pay check to pay check are fine with that, but they don't realize how much value is being stolen from them. For those who can ride the volatility waves, cryptocurrency is the future, we're just a bit too early right now for price stability as a daily currency until the market cap grows much, much larger.

As to trusting the software installed on a phone, that's a really big deal. That's why, up to this point, I haven't ever recommended a mobile wallet app. Having met their team and the CEO and talked with them directly about the security model they've implemented, I felt it was worth giving them my trust. Am I able to look at the source code of the binary that is directly installed on my phone? No. Ultimately, I do have to trust someone in that regard. For that matter, I have to trust the phone itself also. At the same time, I don't store much money on my phone anyway. Most of my holdings are on a Ledger Nano S, but even then, I have to trust that manufacturer and all the software vendors they work with.

Ultimately, I trust the cryptocurrency system more than the banking system because government regulations, from what I've seen, don't protect consumers as much as they create monopolies. When HSBC got their hand-slapped for outright drug cartel money laundering, it barely phased them. They just keep on doing whatever they want to do. At least in this space, reputation matters because we have choice.

I guess that's why I convert so much of my fiat money into liquid assets (beer).

In all seriousness though, the problems I've had with the banking system seem like they'll only get worse going forward, and I trust the US banking system more than I might trust some outside of the United States. With inflation working against saving as it does, a little more volatility isn't necessarily a bad thing for me. You can't have a whole lot of upside without facing some risk.

As for using cryptocurrency as a daily currency, the lag with Bitcoin makes it really difficult to take seriously. Whether I'm transferring it to an exchange to convert to USD or sending to a reseller, the amount of time it takes to process compared to just entering a credit card number is a pretty big hurdle. Steem seems to be snappier by design from what I've read, but I'm not enough of an expert to really know if that's really a feature of the network or just a byproduct of popularity.

I'll probably be trying the Edge wallet since I need **something** on my phone, and the implicit trust I have in you using it is better than I have in any of the other wallets I've heard of. I imagine the volume of currency you'd be dealing with on your wallet is an order of magnitude greater than what I'm dealing with, so if you don't get ripped off I probably won't either.

Thank you @lukestokes for this wallet info I may just use it. Do you have any thoughts on Pillar and what type of wallet they may be coming out with soon ??

I'm not familiar with it. Watching their intro video now. Looks interesting. Ah yes, I remember this ICO. Looks promising. I'll keep an eye on it.

well we have been waiting so long for the STEEM wallet (should have been december!!) would it be possible to integrate into this? :) - installed it, looks really easy to use, thanks for the headsup.

That sure would be nice. I wouldn't mind having a separate STEEM account that I just used as a wallet for holding spending funds.

Does Edge Wallet works like MyEtherWallet? They just provide private key and UCT file. If i lost my private key then finish.

When it's about money which is hard-earned, you invest effor and time for it the security should be and is number 1 priority! Also, there's always possibility of phone theft or phone losing. There's always more loyalty when you know the team who created it like you did. Do you think we should have face scanning or similar additional checks regarding to such important Apps?

Maybe? For me, it's all about being careful and only putting in an appropriate amount of currency in a mobile app. Same reason you wouldn't walk around with $100's in your pocket.
