Hello Steemians!
Today I want to tell you about my favourite crypto currency wallet:
Exodus:
an all-in-one app to secure, manage and exchange blockchain assets. Your keys are stored locally! (and of course you can set up a password)
Exchange? YES! It has ShapeShift integrated so you can easily swap your BTC for ETH.
The Devs
Exodus is now at version 1.18.0 and I've been using it since the near beginning.
The developers are awesome and have always been there for me when I had troubles. When it was in Alpha the devs gave away Dogecoin to play with in the wallet. When I ran into a problem/bug I sent them an email, got a reply within 3 hours, the problem would be fixed a week later and they sent some extra DOGE! How nice!
(Before Steem I was into Dogecoin, wofe!)
What do I like so much about this wallet?
Easy overview & easy to use
The nice thing about this wallet, is that it gives an easy total overview of all your funds. The portfolio screen is the one you see when you open it, it shows a chart with all your assets and the total value in the middle. The transaction history also looks great, when you click a transaction, it shows you the details:
Everything works logically, no technical bullshit. It's the perfect wallet for your (grand)parents.
When you're not using a specific currency, you can switch it off in the settings:
Nice skins
Also the app has different skins, so you can easily customize the looks how you want:
wow
Integrated ShapeShift Exchange
This feature is beautifully integrated and works like a charm! The exchanged ammount will just show up in your other wallet, and your chart will change! Can't say anything more about the feature, it just works.
Active development
The devs are constantly working on the wallet. The app has improved a lot since I first used it, bugs get fixed really fast and theres a nice easy to understand changelog on the website. So that's a big WOW!
What I don't like
No automatic updates
The devs update the app nearly every week (which is great, constant new features).
Automatic updates wouldn't hurt.
Lack of... Steem...
and other currencies. Currently the team is working on integrating Factom, which is great! I'd really love to see more and more currencies integrated. Maybe if we ask them nicely they will integrate Steem.
What platforms?
- Windows x64
- Mac
- Linux

good post, thanks!
This is neat
Looks great and for sure something like this is needed. How secure is it?
It's open-source and you control your private keys. Your private keys are encrypted with your password so quite secure in my eyes. It's only secure if your computer is secure.
It's always better then having your private keys online, but for storing large amounts I'd recommend keeping offline (paper) wallets in a vault.
Thanks for replying.
I will down load it and had a gander
Cheers for the info
