People ask me often if Cake Wallet is good,
My answer: it is!, but, as a privacy middleware wallet, specially if you are transacting with Bitcoin.
Cake Wallet
Cake Wallet 🍰 (nprofile…j73l) now supporting coin join and silent payments for Bitcoin has done a lot more than most Bitcoin wallets, only Samurai Wallet used to be that privacy oriented while it could.
Why?
No decent seed signer (HW) support. To the best of my knowledge as I write this post, it only supports Ledger, which is, probably the worst Seed Signer considering the scandals of that company.
Some think this is not a big deal, IMO, it is, hence only for pocket cash and as a middle ware while transacting, same used to be with Sanourai Wallet.
Now, while I have not seen plans to support Trezor or Cypherock or Tangem (all HW supporting XMR), there is a work in progress to support a very good one: Keystone. That would be a game changer, if that hapoens soon... EXCELLENT!
