In July last year, Swiss Privacy Tech Company Proton (Proton Mail) announced that it will launch its Bitcoin portfolio – Proton wallet.
(Along with about 100,000 other users) were given early access to the wallet to test it and was affected by the interface of the portfolio. I liked it in particular that it allows you to connect an email address to the user entitled Bitcoin, so that you just need to enter the email address when sending Bitcoin.
You can read my evaluation of the wallet here.
Now that the wallet has become available to the general public, I will recommend it to anyone I know and who is finally ready to transfer Bitcoin from the hands of the stock exchange and in his own custody. I will also recommend it to anyone looking to pay the semi -regular bitcoin payments on the chain with a relatively small amount of bitcoin.
The reasons for recommending the wallet are as follows:
- It is free for use (users can create up to three governors and have up to three accounts in each wallet, which is enough for most users – more on that here; To create more wallets or accounts, a proton receives fees)
- It is easy to prepare (you are not required to write the phrase seeds of 12 words when preparing the wallet; however, from good practices do so!)
- Like Proton Mail, Proton cannot access the data of Proton Wallet user, and cannot access the special Bitcoin keys for its users
- Use an email address (no proton post address) to send Bitcoin reduces the possibility of entering the wrong Bitcoin address in the recipient field for treatment
- You can specify the speed of the treatment priority when sending Bitcoin
- You can buy bitcoin via slope or Pile Using a proton wallet, enabling Bitcoin that you buy to be transferred directly to your reservation
The only negative aspects of the wallet are that they do not support lightning transactions (keep in mind SDK versionThe proton team!), It does not allow you to manage € (Bitcoin’s loose change, in terms of ordinary).
The latter is not very important, however, again, I recommend this wallet for those new in the bitcoin nursery. Robo administration It is more than the practice of moderate Bitcoin users to applicants.
All in all, Proton has created another great product here for its 100 million users and is calculated, a product that I will recommend to beginners in Bitcoin to move forward.
