I was going through the wishlist on the Mobian wiki for things available on flatpak; with auto-scaling I tested both Monero and Electrum(Bitcoin) wallets, both work. I didn't try any of the side stuff like mining functions or generating a new wallet as I am not really familiar with the software and protocols. The fonts are really small with scaling but they seem to run fine. What cryptos do pinephone users want/need a wallet for on their phone? Another option is to run the CLI for the crypto wallets which support that.

It can take at least 10 minutes for a Bitcoin transaction to be confirmed, which makes it unwieldy for use as an everyday currency.

I totally get your point about Bitcoin not being practical for daily stuff because of the weird fee changes and slow confirmations. I messed around with Monero for a bit on my PinePhone and liked how focused it is on privacy, but the mobile wallet scene for some newer cryptos can be kind of hit or miss with support or updates. Usually, I just want something that's easy enough to pay for small things and keeps my info private, without crazy speculation or corp control. If you're into newer projects, there’s a lot happening with Solana-based tokens lately, especially since there’s tech like automated volume booster for solana tokens making trading more accessible. That could be fun to explore if you want something fast and not stuck in the old scaling issues.

While I hate piping or holding large amounts cryptocurrency through website based services you can keep most of your value in say litecoin(have to compile the electrum wallet or use the CLI wallet) or monero then shoot it to a website for the approximate amount you are spending to then make a payment, then make a webapp for that service.

I’ve run into the same stuff with mobile wallets on open-source phones, they work, but for newer chains or some privacy coins, it’s kinda hit or miss, and the UI can be rough. I usually just want something simple to move small amounts without giving away my info, so I end up hopping between wallets depending on what I need to pay for. Lately, I’ve been poking around decentralized trading tools that let you swap fast without all the usual headaches or juggling a ton of wallets. If you want something that does more than just hold coins, check out this web based platform. Lets you trade on multiple chains straight from your phone, has a ton of advanced tools, and runs pretty smooth. Worth a look for managing everything in one spot Banana Pro.

Worth a look for managing everything in one spot: https://pro.bananagun.io/app. OK, I hear the convenience; but in crypto once sent it is lost so nobody who has more than a few dollar/euro etc for betting or tipping would ever consider using a wallet like that as it has access to your spend key or keeps your 'crypto'(probably fractional deposit) and can rob you of everything all while out gambling with your cryptocurrency's value. |
