There’s a whole folder on my phone that’s just a graveyard of old bitcoin wallets with nothing in them.

Why do I still have Blockchain? Anyone remember Edge? What the fuck is Copay?

I have the same problem but they're all in a drawer and paper copies. I'm pretty sure nostr:nprofile1qqsqu7utj8u49g7fjn6362nf7zmzcauftz4ds40pplhcsyau8qhdsgqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszymhwden5te0dehhxarj9eaxyepwvanj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z72pdmxh and I have an old savings wallet from Copay that we were saving for a vacation in around here somewhere.

Was that a multisig wallet? I think it was made by Bitpay. I remember I installed it but never did anything with it after setting it up.

Yeah that's exactly the one. They had done a good job on the UI for it but Bitpay....

I stopped using Bitpay years ago, after spending far too many sats with their preloaded Visa debit card.

It did score me a gold coin that I've since lost from their Bitcoin 2021(?) booth but had the same problem with it making it too easy to spend sats.

I abandoned them too... Bitpay is guilty of price gouging with their fees.

Among many other reasons to ditch them.

Better safe than sorry.

I had an AirBitz wallet 😂

Yes! I remember that one too, the precursor to Edge. It had a weird, nonstandard recovery method.

I tried getting in recently to see if I had any sats hanging out. I could not figure out recovery but am pretty sure it had a minimal balance.

I always liked Airbitz/Edge until they went down the fud route about lightning being a different token. That finished them for me.

They were very shitcoin-friendly, and I know the founder Paul was never a big fan of Lightning. Pretty sure he and Roy Sheinfeld have had some heated exchanges.

It’s been fun, though.

The last one is something to do with health insurance

Hahaha…what a terrible name. 😂

Copay is Bitpay's original open source version of their wallet... was cross platform and worked well !

But they eventually deprecated it, right?

Yes, it's deprecated but still at https://github.com/bitpay/copay. I still need it for history because of the buggy / strange derivation paths it was using.

Oh my god🤣 Delete everything! All you need is a secure hardware wallet! And a lithining wallet! And of course nostr 🤷‍♂️
