emanuelb commented 3 years ago

There is app on google-play: "Bitcoin Wallet: by Bitcoin.org" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.bitcoin.wallet which use appid org.bitcoin.wallet but this repo use appid com.bitcoinwalletmobile , the org.bitcoin.wallet is used in another repo which is not a mobile wallet?! https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/Bitcoin-Wallet/blob/896565580cb1fe162f67bfc59124d8924231e347/vue.config.js#L8 so

So the question is this app in google-play yours? legit? if it's legit please point to it in the README of the repo and also git tag releases/version (so easier to test for reproducibility, etc..)

Yes, it's legit. I'm currently just testing for issues with live users from the app stores. Still need to do more work on improving this repo, as you suggested. Thanks for the heads up.

emanuelb commented 3 years ago

can you point to the commit used to build the 1.0 version on google-play? also it's better to mention the app in google-play in some places like README.md here, as due to missing mentions, no related tag, mismatch in appid, thought that the app in play-store was fake/scam...

Yeah, I totally get that, I'll update the README soon to point to the app in the Google/Apple store. It's obviously legit, but we're trying to be lowkey about it for now, we need to make sure users aren't losing money before we promote it more.

Closing this issue, as I rebuild the app and compared it, so it's legit.

but we're trying to be lowkey about it for now, we need to make sure users aren't losing money before we promote it more.

for this you might add some warning like "app is currently in BETA state, use with caution, don't store lots of money with it.." to the README and in google-play, so people who download it or compile to use will know...

Thanks @emanuelb for finding this. I updated walletscrutiny accordingly. Personally I think it's asking for hate and trouble to release an "official" bitcoin.org mobile wallet but the current name "Bitcoin Wallet: by Bitcoin.org" shows clearly that ambition.
