User reviews

Lost My Key

I didn’t put any money or bitcoin in. I lost my key. Once lost, you cannot get it back and you cannot start a new account. Once this happens the app is useless.

FAQ

How does BitKey work as a cold wallet?

BitKey functions as a cold wallet by storing all your data, including Bitcoin addresses and private keys, locally on your device. These are then encrypted and backed up to your personal iCloud. Private keys only exist temporarily in device memory when signing transactions locally.

Can I withdraw my funds from BitKey?

BitKey is designed as a cold wallet for secure key storage, not for direct fund withdrawal like a hot wallet or exchange. The concept of 'withdrawing funds' typically applies to platforms where your keys are managed by a third party.

How do I add money to my BitKey account?

As a cold wallet, BitKey allows you to import existing Bitcoin private keys. The process of 'adding money' is different from hot wallets or exchanges; it involves bringing your own keys into the secure environment of BitKey.

How can I make a transaction or pay with BitKey?

BitKey provides a transaction signing tool. You can use this tool to construct and sign transactions locally on your device. Once signed, you can then broadcast the transaction to the Bitcoin network.

What security measures does BitKey employ?

BitKey prioritizes security with features like user-controlled keys, encrypted data backups to your iCloud, and advanced password protection with security questions. It is designed to be decentralized and anonymous, with no account required.

What happens if I lose my phone or delete the BitKey app?

Your wallet data can be retrieved even if your phone is lost or the app is deleted, thanks to the backup feature in your own iCloud. It is crucial to remember your encrypt-password, as it is not stored on your device or uploaded to iCloud and is necessary to decrypt your data.

Does BitKey have ads?

The provided data does not specify if BitKey contains advertisements. However, it does offer an in-app purchase for 'BitKey Pro_all' which suggests a freemium model.

What are the extra features in BitKey Pro_all?

Subscribing to BitKey Pro_all for $79.99 unlocks additional features such as the ability to watch any addresses and receive email notifications. This subscription offers enhanced functionality beyond the free version.
