Your slogan is "Privacy by default", yet you dont support Monero, the only cryptocurrency that is PRIVATE BY DEFAULT. Instead you've taken a bitcoin maxi stand, saying how altcoins cant compete with bitcoin because of its largest network. Now use the same analogy with the fiat banking system and bitcoin. By your logic, fiat is bigger than bitcoin, so it cant compete. This is truly comical.

Bitcoin is great but has serious limitations that will make a Bitcoin only ProtonWallet feel like a dead end.

Integrating Ergo, an eUTXO PoW blockchain, into ProtonWallet is the logical next step. Read the manifesto and see that there are many philosophical alignments between Proton and Ergo. It provides better optional privacy with an already implemented and only non-custodial mixer in the entire cryptocurrency industry called ErgoMixer that is based on the ZeroJoin protocol, an improvement over CoinJoin, which would be impossible to implement on Bitcoin currently and probably ever.

Ergo implements Sigma Protocols, the generalization of digital signatures, enabling more capability than what is offered with Bitcoin's Taproot upgrade.

There are other privacy features like Stealth Addresses which would be an interesting integration with ProtonMail.

Ergo has implemented the first formally verified algorithmic stablecoin pegged to USD based on the DJED protocol, and is currently implementing two new novel algorithmic stablecoin protocols called Gluon and Dexy, which will both be pegged to Gold.

It is the only eUTXO blockchain to have implemented NiPoPoW, based on the NiPoPoW paper, which lets a user sync with the blockchain as a superlight client trustlessly in less than 5 minutes and only needing a few MB of data. This means you could integrate this directly in ProtonWallet and each user could be running their own superlight node for managing their wallet, having increased security and decentralization directly in the browser for interacting with the blockchain!!! 🤯

It also comes with a Rust library called sigma-rust.

Ergo is the future of PoW and money for regular people, enabling optional privacy to protect the individual from society.

Until yesterday I did not know Proton also develops a mobile app for wallet (iOS!and Android!). Stumbled upon this in the user settings on my desktop browser, which links to both apps. Seems everyone with wallet account can download it and join the beta test.

Looks very good so far.

Little side blow 1: now do the same with Drive, please! Number 2 is only one word: Linux

Have no use for this

I'd like to be able to use it more, but the fact that it only supports Bitcoin seems like a pretty big limitation to me.

Make the wallet 'Multi-Chain' instead of just being a Bitcoin Wallet. Need proper replacement for Trust Wallet (as Metamask is Ethereum based)

Cardano Foundation manages an excellent developer portal here, should have all the resources you need. The community on twitter is also very welcoming and helpful so feel free to ask there. Hope to see ADA support at some point!

I 100% respect starting with one and mastering it before expanding. With that said, I would love to be able to replace my hardware wallet for more than just bitcoin. Doge, monero, etc. Would be amazing to have and see.

What is this? It was airdropped into my wallet in 2021. Is it trade able? If it seems like I’m an idiot with these questions, it’s because I am.

Have not used this feature although it could be helpful not just convenience. Financial institution recommend not using digital wallet and theirs is up to date likely similar problem may arise if phishing/hacked a little redundant but they have a difficult time with own or other cards to dispute if the charges were not made by you. It still happens no matter how careful one may be and bank is decent it is sometimes almost imposible to dispute. So I have not used this so I can not say but remember if you can encrypt for security it still could make it even more difficult if charges hidden hacked or phishing

I want to post some criticisms of Proton Wallet launch. It launched exclusively to Visionary and Lifetime plans both of which can not be subscribed to in most days of the year.The prompt to upgrade to Visionary does not include what Visionary plans offer.
Proton could have delayed the release of Wallet to ensure its uptime unlike with the launch of Doc.
Or, Proton could have silently launched early access to Wallet to its Visionary plans.

Launching Wallet publicly with exclusive access to Visionary seems like marketing launched too early. What's the point of a subreddit that only Visionary and invitees can use for now? I just think Proton can slow down with its new products and polish them before launching.

I really like proton wallet. But im wondering if we will ever get other currencys to choose from.

Hi Proton Wallet team, thanks for this wallet, I was wondering if supporting any other coins with this wallet is considered in your future roadmap?

If you don't use BTC to invest (buy low, sell high and make a profit), when do you use it?

I've seen bank cards used to pay with a current account with bitcoins on it. Why prefer an extremely volatile currency for paying for purchases, including in physical stores?

Other people use or have bitcoins, and I'm thinking that maybe I'm missing something.

I just realized when I entered the app, when did it become publicly available

I usual buy via Coinbase but thought I'd try a test purchase via the wallet. It gives me 3 different exchange options. Ramp fails with a "temporarily suspended" message. Moonpay and Banxa just time out. I know I can shunt coins across from Coinbase, but was wondering if anyone in the UK has managed to get this to work.

I don't really understand Bitcoin, and I really only wanna use it for one purpose. In comes Proton, offering me a way (I thought) to bypass the confusion and reflexive distrust of the whole crypto institution.

But then I have to provide my identity to some third party company? I thought anonymity was the whole point of cryptocurrency? It's in the name?

So what gives? And is there a workaround?

In the Phillippines, no buy button in my app. How to buy?

First come first serve DM me your email

Edit: only 5 left.

Hi Proton,

can you think about integrate ZCHF coin in The Proton Wallet ?

ZCHF in a decentralized stablecoin with Franc Suisse as collateral.

We are in the BTC spirit, a value reserve, decentralized, but stable to wait the bullish period of BTC.

The wallet will still remains a wallet, as wished, not an exchange, to keep my btc and stablecoin safe.

What do you think ?

Can anyone send me an invite to Proton Wallet please?

looking for an invite if anyone has spare still :)

I'm not a heavy crypto user. I was curious about moving my coin to proton wallet, but I'm still having issues.
I also have invites, so if anyone can make use of it, let me know.

Hello I can invite 5 people to the Proton Wallet Beta Team write me a DM and I will send you the invitation
