About bitWallet™ — Bitcoin Wallet
bitWallet is a Bitcoin Wallet. It securely stores your Bitcoins and shows account balances, transaction history, exchange rates and much more.
bitWallet doesn't require any registration or asks for any personal information. Your Bitcoin keys are stored on your device only, and controlled only by you.
bitWallet features include:
- Securely store your Bitcoin addresses and their private keys.
- Create multiple wallets with multiple Bitcoin addresses per wallet.
- Create wallets for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin.
- Send payments directly from the app.
- Print paper wallets to store your Bitcoins offline in cold-storage.
- Create SegWit addresses for lower transaction fees.
- Dynamic fees for timely confirmations at minimal costs.
- iCloud backup protects your Bitcoins if the iPhone is lost or damaged.
- Receive notifications when new transactions occur in your wallet.
- Create Classic wallets and Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) wallets (supports BIP32 / BIP44 / BIP49 structures).
- Create Watchlists to follow interesting addresses.
- Restore TREZOR Accounts, both Legacy and SegWit.
- Check balances and transactions per wallet and per Bitcoin address.
- Verify balances and transactions from multiple data sources.

- Shows live Bitcoin Network statistics.
- bitWallet is FREE, for now.
Wallets: bitWallet supports two types of wallets; Classic wallets accept all Bitcoin addresses and private keys. New random addresses can be generated, and existing keys can be scanned and imported. Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) wallets derive all accounts, addresses and private keys from a single master extended key. HD wallets adhere to the BIP32 / BIP44 / BIP49 address generation methods and wallet structures. Wallet seeds and deterministic keys are derived from BIP39 mnemonic sentences. TREZOR Accounts are restored with Legacy or SegWit address generation.
Data Sources: bitcoin data is pulled primarily from Blockchain.info. Balances and transactions can be verified against BlockExplorer, BlockCypher and BitGo. Exchanges rates provided by BitcoinAverage.com are limited to 100 updates per day, per IP. Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash data is pulled from various Insight providers. Additional data sources will be added as they become available.
Data Security: bitWallet uses advanced techniques to encrypt the wallet using AES-256 encryption. Your password is not stored on the device or anywhere else - if you forget your password there is no way to decrypt your wallet and recover your Bitcoins! When the wallet is decrypted, the Private Keys still remain encrypted in memory until needed to resist memory scrapping attacks. For added security, a setting is available to clear the wallet data from memory when the app is backgrounded. Data is never placed in a web browser and it never leaves the app's memory space, unless printed, shared or backed up. iCloud Backup data is encrypted with the password before transmission.
Privacy Policy: securely storing your Bitcoins is a key feature of bitWallet. Only public addresses are transmitted to query balances and transactions - no other data is transmitted from bitWallet!

New: iCloud Backup. Wallets are now backed up to iCloud whenever addresses are added or deleted. iCloud Backup can be disabled in Settings. Backups are only accessible to the iCloud user, and wallets with a password are encrypted before transmission. See Settings > iCloud Backup for more.
Changed: The Exchanges Listing has been removed because the data is no longer freely available. Bitcoin exchange rate quotes are now limited by the data source to 100 updates per day, per IP. Alternate data sources are being investigated.

This updates focuses on optimizing transactions fees for fastest confirmation at the lowest price.
bitWallet now calculates transaction fees based on current network conditions and suggests higher fees for fast confirmations and lower fees for slower confirmation. The default fees confirm transactions within an hour or less, and can be overridden for each transaction in the Fees view. For more details and setting defaults see Settings > Fees & Confirmation.
Currently trending transaction fees can be monitored on the Bitcoin status view (accessible by tapping the status bar on the bottom of most views). Fees are shown in milli-bitcoin per kilobyte. For a typical small transaction of 225 bytes divide by 4 to estimate fees for the transaction.
New Bitcoin addresses are now generated as compressed keys instead of uncompressed to minimize transaction sizes and fees. Compressed private keys begin with the letter “K” or “L”, instead of the number “5” for uncompressed keys.
bitWallet now downloads and processes data faster than before.
Minor improvements and fixes.
Note: Use of Touch ID may be turned off after the update and you will need to turn it on in Settings. Please be sure to know your wallet password before updating!
