Our wallet review process
We examine wallets starting at the code level and continue all the way up to the finished app that lives on your device. Provided below is an outline of each of these steps along with security tips for you and general test results.
Disclaimer
Our Analysis is not a full code review! We plan to make code reviews available in the future but even then it will never be a stamp of approval but rather a list of incidents and questionable coding practice. Nasa sends probes to space that crash due to software bugs despite a huge budget and stringent scrutiny.
Do your own research
In addition to reading our analysis, it is important to do your own checks. Before transferring any bitcoin to your wallet, look up reviews for the wallet you want to use. They should be easy to find. If they aren't, that itself is a reason to be extra careful.
Be Among Smart 8%
Only about 8% of bitcoin owners are estimated to keep their coins in complete safety and privacy. There are hundreds of bitcoin wallet apps. Most wallets are custodial, therefore — not secure, not private, and not independent.
Mycelium wallet is non-custodial, it may still not be secure. Only reproducible wallets are completely secure. Mycelium is among them. Mycelium is the most popular among them.

Attention!
How to make your funds secure?
Make a backup by following the instructions in the app.
What if you lose your phone?
No problem. It takes one minute to restore your accountsfrom your backup.
What if you lose your backup?
You lose your money.
What's the point of putting up with such inconveniences?
Because bitcoins are better than money in a bank. WithMycelium Wallet, you avoid banking nonsense. Paymentscan not be reverted, suspended, or declined. Accounts cannot be blocked. No cross-border control and fees. Storageis secure and free. No subscription fees of any kind. Nopayment limits; no maximum daily or monthly amounts.
How much do payments cost?
There is no one to address your complains to. Myceliumdoes not touch your money. It is only a relay between youand the Bitcoin network. There can be no fundamentalBitcoin failures, but things can slow down, and your walletmay be out of sync for a while. On the other hand,custodial wallets (those that explicitly stand between youand your money) do not solve the problem entirely anyway.But you still pay for an illusion of smoothness with the fullphysical control of your funds given out to some randompeople.
One more piece of advice: NEVER store your bitcoins on theexchanges.
If you use centralized exchanges to buy bitcoins, withdrawyour assets as soon as you bought them. You do notcontrol your coins there. Bitcoins are like physical coins.That's why crypto-exchanges are vulnerable to outrightrobbery. And that is YOUR problem. The relevant regulationis inadequate. In case of a hack, no reimbursement offunds is guaranteed to you. Take a look at thecomprehensive historical list of cryptocurrency exchangehacks here.
