COINiD Hot and Cold Wallet for Bitcoin Available for Android and iOS Early Access Today
Wednesday, September 19, 2018, Sweden
COINiD Group has made the Android version of their wallet available for early access today. COINiD is a Bitcoin storage solution that supports offline storage without the need to purchase specialized hardware.
COINiD does not only offer impenetrable security in the form of offline storage (cold wallet) but users can also set up a separate hot wallet to store coins for easy access. Everything is packaged in a simple, beautiful and intuitive interface.
Anyone with an Android or iOS device can sign up for the early access on coinid.org.
“I believe our solution offers a lower barrier of entry into the world of offline Bitcoin storage. Simply because we do not require users to purchase expensive hardware. Anyone with an old spare phone and 10 minutes of free time can put their coins in offline storage using COINiD today.”
— Rikard Wissing, Co-Founder.
COINiD in Brief
COINiD is a bundle of apps, the COINiD Wallet for Bitcoin and the COINiD Vault.
The wallet keeps track of the user’s transaction history and balance and allows the user to receive Bitcoins and create unsigned Bitcoin transactions ready for signing with the COINiD Vault. The COINiD Vault securely stores the user’s private key and communicates with the Wallet to sign transactions using biometrics or the user selected pin code.
COINiD Vault can be installed on the same device as the COINiD Wallet for easy access, but it can also be stored on a separate offline device so that the wallet can be used as a so-called cold wallet.
In a cold wallet scenario, the COINiD Wallet communicates with the offline COINiD Vault via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) when signing transactions. That way your private keys are never exposed to an online environment.
Highlighted Features

- Hierarchical Deterministic: Use a single set of keys for multiple coins and addresses. When an address is used, a new one is generated.
