Edge wallet for simple usage and security
Edge is a wallet of a serious business, trying to make cryptocurrency the means of payment for everyday life. The wallet provide very simple and private sign up method. The security is audited by OBPP organization and their support is good. Although the product is simple and secure, there are something that need to be changed. It is worth for a try and I think you will like it

They works with Shapeshift, Changelly, Wired, Simplex, and ChangeNow to enable swap exchange function, allowing the almost instant exchanges of fiat currencies against cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrencies against cryptocurrencies. Also, thanks to Bitrefill, gift cards and phone balances are be paid using BTC ETH, DASH, and LTC stored on Edge wallet. Finally, market data of cryptocurrencies on Edge is analyzed by Nomics to benefit the users. I really appreciate their efforts
- - Managing, storing, sending, and receiving cryptocurrencies on Edge wallet are as easy as pie. There is no need for sweat effort do carry out them
- - There UX/UI is not the best but very simply nice and all features are arranged in a good way to find
- - Data of balances can be displayed in almost every existed fiat currencies in the world
- - Edge wallet is an open-sourced project so it can be verified by the public and this means the project is transparent. There source code was reviewed by The Open Bitcoin Privacy Project, an organization whose mission is to enhance the financial privacy of blockchain industry
- - The wallet favors the developers and give them some tools such as API/SDK to work around the wallet. Inside the wallet, it is possible to enable developer mode to work on it
- - They are featured on many big websites such as Forbes or Bitcom dot com. These are the evidence that their project is very legit
- - There customer support is available 24/7 and receives so much good words from the community
Cons
- - Their design can be better as now it does not look fun and dynamic enough. The more beautiful is the interface, the more active users they will get
- - Right now, they don't have some interesting features like DApps Browser or Airdrop hosting. There are a lot of things they can add to their product so it will be useful for a lot of purposes
- - It must be more advanced as to compete with the huge competitors such as Trust wallet or Coinomi
- - It only requires users to create a username, a password, and a PIN. The question is what if the users create very simple ones and they get cracked?
