BlueWallet - Bitcoin Wallet

Thin Bitcoin Wallet. Built with React Native, Expo and BlockCypher API.

• Build and run on your own using Expo Client
• Private keys never leave your device
• SegWit-first. Replace-By-Fee support

Alpha version, do not rely on it too much for now!

RUN IT

• In your console:

git clone https://github.com/Overtorment/BlueWallet.git
cd BlueWallet
npm install
npm start

• Install Expo client: https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id982107779?ct=www&mt=8
• With Expo client, open the QR code shown in your console after npm start

ALTERNATIVELY

• Install Expo Client
• Launch BlueWallet from https://expo.io/@overtorment/bluewallet

MOTIVATION TO BUILD IT

I was not satisfied with existing iOS Bitcoin apps, especially with BreadWallet (the one I mainly used) where development stalled and they could not even deliver such features as SegWit, RBF and custom fees (at the times where custom fees were especially needed). So I knew I could create one to use myself and let others use it. I had experience with awesome bitcoin-js lib (javascript), and since I dont own any Macs, don't plan to and not going to learn ObjC/Swift - ReactNative (where you also write in javascript) was an obvious choice.
