xtinepink Posted May 15, 2018 #1 Posted May 15, 2018 You heard it right. There is amew wallet. A new bitcoin wallet that works without internet. Siblings namely Daniela and Jorge Perdomo, is partnering with Samourai Wallet to launch this summer an Android app that users can use to send bitcoin payments without an internet connection. How cool is that? Check more here: https://www.coindesk.com/gotenna-bitcoin-wallet-mesh-network/

CaptainLorca Posted May 16, 2018 #3 Posted May 16, 2018 Not possible at all. Maybe setting everything up.. but somewhen you need a connection to the blockchain to get everything set and done. This will be nothing more than a digital paperwallet.

You can read more on the link that I attached.
CaptainLorca Posted May 16, 2018 #5 Posted May 16, 2018 Okay I've read it. goTenna device. So this only works, if any device is in close range to your device. If not, that won't help you at all.
barbaris Posted May 18, 2018 #6 Posted May 18, 2018 It's really cool. Great news. I would like to try this wallet.

Ok another device should be near to sync but its misleading that it can sync witouth internet. Any blockchain sync requires some internet condition. Anyhow it need internet indirectly though You should read the source to understand. There will be phones for it. You need one of them to use it. If you're in an area where no internet works, you just need someone else in a radius of 1 mile with internet connection. Your phone then connects automatically through it to the internet to send a transaction.

But it says no internet required You don't need it on your phone, but you need any device that can connect to the internet in your radius. Still this idea is good and I hope that they can make it better over itme.
barbaris Posted May 18, 2018 #9 Posted May 18, 2018 Such transactions may not be safe, I will become a target for hackers. But the idea is interesting.

And also we would sometimes have to pay the phone that has internet in the radius.
