Why I love Exodus wallet (TREVON JAMES PARTNERED WITH THEM!?!?)

When I had first got into crypto-currency the first thing I needed to do after researching was decide on the type of wallet I needed. I did not want to spend 100$ on a hardware wallet just yet as my investment started small, I am a bit to oriented towards how something looks to choose a paper wallet, and most software wallets only were capable of holding one asset and if they had more I had read several bad reviews about them. I wad having a really tough time deciding on this until I came across an image of the Exodus wallet pie graph.

Enters Exodus. When I first installed exodus I was at first surprise by how easy the set up was.

First I needed to create a typical login password to access my account. Then deposit a small amount of any of the many currencies it accepted in order to complete the encryption process. The wallet creates your 12 word key and sends you a confirmation email and you are done! And just like that I began to stare at my little investment going up and down up and down as it gives you real time prices based on coinmarketcap.com.

Starting with the basic assets like Bitcoin, Litecoin and Doge Exodus has greatly expanded it's integrated coins. The wallet itself is fun to navigate, you can see the amount of each asset you hold in one view or how much it's worth in USD or the currency of your choice in another.

Shapeshift is built into the wallet to allow for seamless exchanges of coins within the wallet. Customization gives a personal touch which no other wallet provides. Customization also hurt the wallets credibility a bit, something I will get to later. As time went on it seemed like Exodus was coming out with an update every 2 weeks and each update massively improved the system in ways you didn't even notice needed fixing. Along with the constant updates new coins where being added almost every month. for the basic Exodus wallet the number of assets is quite large with solid coins like Augur, Decred, Eos and Litecoin to name a few. Then the news that everyone was waiting for that Exodus would introduce Bitcoin Cash into their wallets. But unfortunatly not honor the 1 for 1 fork split.

Whenever I had any issues (which was rare) I could e-mail them directly, and within minutes one of the 2 co-founders wrote me back and had the appropriate action I should take and just like that, problem solved. I even applied to work from home for them as a customer service technician but was sadly rejected , No hard feelings, I'll try again later.

Just as I was thinking this wallet could not get better Exodus released Exodus Eden wallet for more advanced users. A wallet you could run simultaneously with the original wallet. But what was the benefit of Eden? Well it added tons of new coins to it's already large list suddenly Firstblood, Omisego, BAT, Storj, Zcash, Verge, Tron, Gnosis, Salt, Status, Matchpool, edgeless dent and civic to name a few. This got me so excited because now I could hold many of my investments in one place.

Then an update was released that blew my mind again, Eden had expanded to Several more Ethereum based tokens which are much less known yet I hold large investments in, principally Dentacoin. I was super excited to see DCN added to the list of supported coins.

So Eden has proven not to be only user friendly, an active and engaged team always looking to add the most up to date coins and mostly gives users a problem free experience.

Not all has been perfect though, at times the prices can get completely messed up, this can be solved sometimes by a quick closing of the application and re-opening and if it is still off, simply click on the logo of the asset you are trying to fix and it will refresh it's connection to the block chain and represent the actual valuation. Sending assets sometimes seems a bit expensive, Exodus claims to not charge fees and the cost of transactions are just what the blockchain charges or shapeshift as their standard fees, and since Exodus puts by default high priority on all of it's transactions the cost is always a bit higher than other options.

Also Exodus made a mistake in the past which they have since correct. For a while it's customization options allowed you to use a Trevon James and Craig Grant wallpaper as a background, 2 character whom have since come under scrutiny as being fraudsters and promoting the ponzi scheme Bitconnect. I would be curious to know who came up with this idea. Did Exodus pay them to help promote their wallet or did these scum bags approach Exodus looking to make money? Either way its a fascinating bit of history in Exodus's past. Here's what it looked like:

These Schiller's will be in jail soon while Exodus continues to grow and strive.

Overall I would recommend Exodus to any friend or family. I feel that it is completely safe and a really sleek design which anyone can understand. For people who are new to crypto I would recommend the basic Exodus wallet as hey provide 100% support for this. As Eden is constantly being worked on and coins added to it , Exodus offers no guarantees on functionality and only offers support through their discord channel, something which I have yet needed to do. I really hope Exodus becomes a household standard as they made user friendliness a top priority when no one else did. Hopefully they can avoid scam artists in the future and perhaps extend to a hardware wallet which would work in sync with the software.

Eden Can be downloaded from www.exodus.io/eden

This link can only be typed into a search bar as exodus does not provide a link to access from the main wallet page. It wants to make it clear that you must be an advanced user before dabbling with it's higher end wallet.

I've been wanting to write this for a long time as I have been a huge supporter of Exodus wallet and have helped almost 100 people download and begin using it. My experience has been excellent and despite not getting the job i hold no grudges, but I will be trying again. I hope you all enjoyed reading. and Happy Hodling
