Review on NEM Nano Wallet by Danh Huỳnh Ngọc Công
The official wallet for NEM blockchain!
NEM Nano Wallet is the official wallet for the NEM blockchain lover. The wallet is very lightweight, well-designed, and is not so difficult to use. Once the users can understand how it works, it will become very useful. However, it seems that the wallet is mainly created for the developers so the way it delivers the functions is quite exotic to the knowledge of normal users. This needs some slight changes
Pros
- - NEM Nano satisfied me as a lightweight wallet which does not need to have a very strong mobile phone to run un. From the download progress to the set up progress, the whole time it takes is just a few minute. This is because the wallet does not need to download all the data and become a node like other wallet. This is just a client made to be used widely
- - Account registration does not last so long. To have a NEM account, users must firstly set a password for their app which is not necessary to be long. After that, they can can start accessing an address using three ways. They can enter they private key of a NEM address they possess, or they can scan the QR code of the account, or create a brand new account for themselves. Users can create an unlimited number of accounts, as many as they want. However, managing all of them is nothing so difficult. Harvest details can also be checked via the app. All of the these things are all simple and quick. With the accounts they have, it is possible that they can create a multi sign account. Users private keys will be held by themselves and the developers of this app does not have any right or ability to seize them as all the data of users are encrypted before reaching the servers
- - The outlook is simple but nice enough to say it is so intrigue. This is a different level of simplicity which some wallets need to adopt
- - Sending and Receiving is extremely easy, fast, and convenient. To receive, users just need to touch on QR code section and they will be given their own address and QR code for it(can be . About sending, it is as basic as transferring on other wallet; but transaction fee can be adjusted. The address book on the wallet was synced with the contact book on the phone to easily recognize the acquaintances
- - The wallet is founded by the developers behind NEM Foundation so it is totally trusted
- - There are a lot of things allowed to be configured to enhance the experience of the users; for example, users can choose the languages for display, set up invoice message, set primary account, switch between the servers and so on
Cons
- - It is very easy to accidentally delete the existing account on the wallet and this may be painful to everybody if they forgot to note down their private keys
- - It's hard from the beginning to figure out how to send and receive with the wallet properly. To send XEM, you have to press 'New' (why not 'Send') and to receive, you have to press 'QR code' (there are more things inside than just QR codes
- - The wallet use some confusing technical language on it but there is no obvious guidelines on what these part are for. The solution is renaming these parts with simple terms or showing some explanation or tips to help the users
- - It does not support the balance display in fiat currencies while most of the wallet add this feature to be more convenient
