This release includes new features, UI improvements for onboarding new users, privacy improvements, bug fixes and significant performance upgrades throughout the app.

Added / Removed Tokens

wBTC and wETH ERC20 tokens were added. Removed the Aurora DAO token as the token currently known as IDEX and already present in the app.

Privacy Control Center

The dedicated privacy control screen got a face lift. Plus a new info screen was added where each privacy setting is explained in detail. Some of the settings which are not relevant for users creating new wallets are no longer accessible for them.

Top 100 Crypto

The app lock screen now displays top 100 coin rankings from CoinMarketCap.com. Note that it's only available to those who have enabled the pin lock in the app. We highly encourage to enable that setting if you haven't done it yet.

The coin charts are now also available from the locks screen directly. Clicking on any coin will open the price charts and other detailed info about the coin.

Other

Apart from the above there has been a lot of architectual improvements throughout the app. Mostly aimed at performance improvements. We believe it will continue to be this way until we reach version 1.

Peace!

Version 0.13 Highlights

This release includes a number of significant privacy improvements, bug fixes, performance upgrades throughout the app.

Privacy Control Center

The security section in app settings now includes a dedicated privacy control screen. Privacy settings on that screen provide you with everything you need to manage your level of privacy when using Unstoppable as well as things you should know in general.

We feel really good about this as we have been struggling for some time trying to create that section without making it difficult too culex for an average user to grasp. There are some privacy points we want users to understand.

Ethereum Enhancement

In version 0.12 the entire communication with Ethereum blockchain been going through Infura service. it should be noted that at this point this seems to be the only option for mobile apps communicating with Ethereum blockchain.

The problem with such implementation is that it's neither trustless nor censorship-resistant. To free users from that dependency the wallet now allows the user to switch from Infura to Incubed service which works on top of Ethereum nodes.

Incubed is significantly better as it's more difficult to censor and significantly more reliable when it comes to trust. The results returned by Incubed clients are verified on an app level, making sure that the data returned is in fact valid/correct. That wasn't possible with Infura and the wallet simply trusted that Infura was providing it with a correct information.

Enhanced Privacy For BTC, BCH, LTC Transactions

To further add to privacy of Bitcoin, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash transactions there is a new setting (Settings >> Security >> Privacy) which enables user to control how the transactions on these blockchains are structured.

Market News

Coin price charts now display latest news below the chart. It displays fresh headlines from relevant blockchain resources giving some further insight to the charts.

We have some major updates for the charts and analytics in the pipeline. Some fo the staff we are going to add in the coming updates are likely to make you go wow :)

Hide/Unhide Balances

It's now possible to hide/unhide total and token balances on Balance tab. Next time you want to demonstrate your Bitcoin wallet to someone you can easily do so without revealing balance.

New Tokens / Blockchains

A number of users been asking us to add Litecoin support. We were able to work on it during this sprint and now the Litecoin is fully supported.

We have also added support for Synthetix token (SNX), an ERC20 token on Ethereum blockchain.

We also looked into adding Algorand token but decided to postpone it after researching the current state of that blockchain. Might revisit this in the coming months.

Rate Our App

Due to the lack of feedback on App Store and Play Market we are having problem getting Unstoppable listed on Bitcoin.org. if you're reading this do humanity a favor and rate/review our app on App Store / Play Market.

Peace!

Version 0.12 Highlights

This release includes a lot of minor improvements in the UI/UX and minor bug fixes throughout the app. Furthermore, there were a couple of privacy improvements for Bitcoin blockchain on the wallet side.

In this sprint we primarily worked on architecture elements preparing the application for TOR integration and other privacy enhancing features.

Double Spent Alert for Transactions

Starting from this version the wallet can identify when either incoming or outgoing transaction has a double spent alert. When you see a transaction that uses one of the inputs of another pending transaction the wallet will notify you, as well as show you the IDs of conflicting transactions. Not a lot of wallets out there that can do this for you :)

Privacy Enhancements

When it comes to privacy Unstoppable wallet can already be considered as private as the underlying blockchains. While the wallet doesn't store/pass any data there are certain recommended best practices in individual blockchains i.e. Bitcoin blockchain that can further enhance the privacy for the user.

This release integrates Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 69 which documented here, https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0069.mediawiki

Moreover, we took significant steps to enable wallet to communicate fully over TOR network. This feature is work in progress at this point and hopefully will be available for use in release 0.13.

Coin Charts / Analytics

Coin price charts got upgrade as well. We have added a few more filters for visualizing price charts as well as the historical daily/hourly trading volume data.

The version 0.13 will add another major update to the chart that will include:

  • coin news aggregator
  • on-chain analytics
  • detailed project overviews

Bug Fixes

All reported and discovered bugs were fixed.

We are working full steam. Stay tuned :)

Peace!

Version 0.11 Highlights

Another major sprint for the Unstoppable app!

This release includes significant performance improvements throughout the app. As a result, the app is now noticeably faster, both on iOS and Android platforms. All of the community reported and internally discovered bugs were addressed as well. And more importantly the Unstoppable wallet is now fully compliant with all standard Bitcoin address formats. Read on for details!

Full Support for All Bitcoin Wallet formats

Starting from version 0.11 the Unstoppable wallet is now (the only) fully compliant with all standard Bitcoin address formats. The wallet now able to create and restore BIP44, BIP49, BIP84 Bitcoin wallets.

This basically means that migrating from pretty much any cryptocurrency wallet to Unstoppable app and vice versa is now possible. This ensures that your wallet is never tied to a specific app and can be accessed from any third party app. (# decentralization)

Improved TX Fee Rate Logic

Previously the app would get the user recommended transaction fees for Bitcoin and Ethereum ERC20 tokens from IPFS (decentralized storage medium). This set up turned out to be slow and in general prone to breaking as there were two other services responsible for writing the data to IPFS and keeping it up to date.

Starting from this release the wallet is able to pull real-time transaction fee recommendations for Bitcoin from a standard Bitcoin node via standard RPC call. This resulted in significantly simple and stable setup.

At the same time the transaction fee estimation logic for ERC20 tokens has been optimized as well. The new implementation guarantees that the resulting ERC20 transaction fees are always below the recommended transaction fee values which are shown to the user prior sending.

Failed / Rejected Transactions

The wallet is now able to understand when the sent transaction has failed or been rejected for some reason by some blockchain node. When it happens the rejected/failed status will be shown on the respective transaction in Transactions tab

Design Improvements

There were a LOT of minor and a couple of major design improvements throughout the app with an aim to reduce complexity and make the wallet easy to use even for those who have little to know experience with blockchain technologies.

  • Balance Tab: coin cells are redesigned
  • Transactions Tab: minor layout changes
  • Wallet Create / Restore screens: full-support for all standard Bitcoin wallet formats (BIP44 / BIP49 / BIP84)

Base Currency List Reviewed

The version 0.9 allowed user to switch between 11 base currencies. While this was convenient for the global audience after extensive testing we discovered that exchange rate values are generally valid only for the top 4 fiat currencies i.e. USD, EUR, GBP and JPY. All other fiat currencies showed significant deviation from market rates for some tokens. As a result we decided to restrict the list to these 4 fiat currencies to ensure that users always see the values very close to the real market rates. This can be considered a security measure.

Delisted & Renamed Tokens

We have delisted ZIL(ERC20) and WAX (ERC20) tokens as both projects have migrated their token from Ethereum to WAX blockchains. At this point, the unstoppable app is not able to communicate with either of those blockchains yet. If you hold any of those tokens we advice you to follow migration procedures provided by these projects.

Moreover, the external project MakerDAO which used to control DAI and MKR tokens, went through a major upgrade as a result of which following changes were required on our side:

  • DAI token was renamed to SAI token
  • new DAI token was added to the app

If you're interested to know more head on to the project site and look for recent upgrade notes, https://makerdao.com

Version 0.10 Highlights

Another massive sprint for the Unstoppable! We are not in the version 1 yet and are already years ahead of any other wallet (or any blockchain-based service) that's out there.

This time we have introduced some new cool features as well as made extensive improvements to the performance as well as addressed some of the remaining decentralization aspects in various areas. Read on for details!

Design Improvements

Over the last couple of months we have received a lot of UI related feedback and took steps to address most of them in this sprint. There were a LOT of minor and some major design improvements throughout the app.

Highlights:

  • Balance Tab: improved page layout
  • Coin Charts now also include: volume (24 hours), market cap, in circulation, total supply
  • Transactions Tab: improved receiving/sending/pending indicators

Crypto-Fiat Exchange Rates: Better & Faster

Until version 0.9 the crypto-fiat exchange rates were stored and obtained from our IPFS node. Over the last few months this setup didn't meet our expectations as it had several issues ranging from slow download speeds, IPFS node availability issues and fairly complicated setup that was prone to bugs and downtime.

In version 0.10 we upgraded the app to be able to communicate directly with the largest public crypto-fiat exchange rate provider CryptoCompare.com. As a result, the apps are able to get the needed rates much faster and communicate with the provider directly without relying/trusting the middle man.

Locking Your Bitcoins from Spending

This is one of the very first features where we go beyond standard token transfer features in Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin blockchain provides means to program transactions in various ways that we have not observed in the wild yet.

In this new version we have added an experimental feature that allows wallet user to send time-locked Bitcoins, either to self or some other user. You're able to instantly send someone Bitcoin that can only be spent by the recipient after a certain date in the future. This was designed for HODLers as a way to lock your Bitcoins during these volatile times.

Disclaimer: This is an Experimental feature and should be used with caution. We have deliberately capped it to 0.5 BTC per transaction. While we are actively testing this feature using our own salaries we can not guarantee that there are no bugs in implementation.

New Tokes Added

  • Paxos Gold (ERC20) : Gold backed token
  • Binance USD BUSD (BEP2) : Stablecoin on Binance DEX blockchain
  • Ripple XMR (BEP2) : Ripple-pegged token on Binance DEX blockchain

Settings >> App Status section

Some of your been reporting technical issues/problems in our Telegram channel. In order to be able to troubleshoot such issues more effectively in the future we have added an App Status under the "Report a Problem" section in Settings. That section keeps some non-private info about the status of the application i.e. phone model, version of the operating system, the status for each blockchain that the app communicates with and so on.

Whenever you have a problem with sending/receiving transaction or some inconsistencies on your balance tab you may go to App Status screen and see if there are any issues there. That screen is a bit technical so if you're not able to debug the issue yourself you may easily copy it and send it over to us for troubleshooting over the telegram channel.

Bugs and Issues

Several community reported and a number of internally discovered bugs were addressed as well.

Version 0.9 Highlights

Get ready for version 0.9 which is faster and smoother.

Design Improvements

This update brings in tons of both minor and major design improvements throughout the app aimed at simplifying complex crypto-related concepts.

Latest Crypto Rates on Lock Screen

Starting from version 0.9 users are able to view current crypto rates as well as 24-hour % changes without unlocking the app.

BIP49 / BIP44 support

All new wallets are now going to be BIP49 wallets while the Unstoppable wallets created before that will continue to operate in BIP44 manner. That should enable anyone to export any external BIP49 wallet into Unstoppable app and vice versa.

Price Alert Notifications

We have added means to set price changes alerts in Unstoppable settings. It is now possible to set notification alerts for cases when crypto prices change more than 2%, 3% or 5%.

Bug Fixes

A number of discovered and community-reported bugs were fixed as well.

Peace!

Version 0.8

Get ready for another batch of improvements which made the wallet faster, safer and significantly more capable than the previous version.

Version 0.8 Highlights

This update brings in improvements to the wallet architecture (under the hood) aiming at making it noticeably faster and smoother to operate.

Furthermore, a number of discovered/reported bugs were fixed as well.

Price Charts

The wallet now provides the ability to monitor current coin prices as well as the ability to view price changes over time.

  • view % price changes for the last 24 hours
  • ability to sort coins by price change (from top to bottom)
  • price changes over time: 1 day, 7 days, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year

Design Improvements

Design improvements are always work in progress. Highlighted below are ones you should know about:

  • display estimate transaction duration on Send screen
  • display transaction fee for all coins in Transactions history
  • display exact amount for values below the 0.01 fiat units (ex: 0.00015 $)
  • improved animations and transitions throughout the app

Full BIP44 / BIP49 Compliance

In version 0.8 the ability to provide someone with a Segwit RECEIVE address will be disabled. All transactions to your previous Segwit addresses will still work and reach you without issues, you just won't be able to generate a new address. The new RECEIVE addresses will be provided in legacy formats.

This is being done to prepare the wallet to operate fully in BIP 44 / BIP 49 compliant manners. With that change in place you will be easily migrate your Unstoppable wallet to any other external BIP 44/49 compliant wallets without issues and vice versa.

Once the version 0.9 is out the wallet will be able to operate either in BIP44 or BIP49 manner. The existing users will be able to update from version 0.8 to 0.9 and continue using wallet in BIP 44 complaint manner, while users setting up the wallet for the first time will use the wallet in BIP49 compliant manner.

If you're an existing user and don't understand any of the above don't worry and just continue using the wallet. The wallet will keep functioning in BIP44 compliant manner and gradually migrate your funds to BIP44 format. Additional instructions will be provided to the existing users who prefer to upgrade the existing unstoppable wallet from BIP44 to BIP49 compliant formats.

Report A Problem

Added "Report a Problem" option to Settings tab. Allows anyone to report an issue or problem via email or team-monitored Telegram group.
