Inspired by my yours.org article earnings, I want to do a serie of wallet reviews, in detail and with screenshots and clear examples, but first I need to make a comparison scoreboard..
So far, I have been fiddling around and it looks like I will have 5 sections, with subitems I will be doing subjective opinions on.
The overall rating will then be 1~5 depending on how well I believe that the wallet performed, with 1 point for each section that it behaves satisfactory, even if not perfectly, in.
The five sections are Usability, Compatibility, Performance, Robustness and Support.
For usability, I look to the applications focus (does the user interface match the indended use case?), usabiltiy (does the user interface match reasonable standards for accessibility)
For compatibility I will look at address formats, connectin mechanics and backup formats
for performance I will look at first-time startup, user interface lag and send/receieve delays.
Robustness will look at application stability, 3rd party server stability and if you can choose you own, as well as network stability
and finally, for support I intend to check if there are known people/corporations as the developers, look for public support channels and see how responsiveness to help request they are.
I'm not sure if this covers all that is interesting however, and would appreciate if others could let me know what *They* want me to include in the overall score.
1.) review and test of basic functions 2.) Easy of use 3.) Is it opensource? 4.) Is it custodial? 5.) can you import the keys easily in other wallets?
Important data: release date, last update. Functions: support for multiple fiat currencies, multiple cryptocurrencies, tokens support, security (encryption of stored keys, fingerprint sup.)
If you feel I missed anything or that there is a better way to do this, let me know. In a couple of days i'm going to hold a poll here to see which wallet I evaluate first.
