Cryptocurrency users all over the world are always looking for ways to keep their funds safe and secure. That is a pretty big challenge, especially when buying a hardware wallet is not an option. COINiD, a new software-based cold storage solution, may offer a viable alternative in this department moving forward.

For those who are unfamiliar with COINiD, it is a software solution providing cryptocurrency cold storage solutions to Android and iOS users. This wallet solution is completely open sourced first and foremost, which means anyone can review the code to determine whether or not this solution is worth exploring.

What most people are interested in is how the COINiD solution works and what it has to offer. It is designed to support cryptocurrencies, with support for Bitcoin available at this time. Other currencies may be added moving forward, as the site makes mention of Litecoin, Ethereum, Monero, Dash, and a few others.

The functionality provided by COINiD includes full control over private keys, offline address validation, SegWit support, biometric authentication, and so forth. The biometric authentication supports fingerprint scanning on Android and FaceID scans for iOS devices. There is still more functionality waiting to be added moving forward, although the current set of features is rather compelling as well.

The COINiD solution exists of two different applications to provide additional security. The COINiD Vault stores private key information in a completely offline manner and signs transactions. The COINiD Wallet is a regular wallet solution to spend and receive funds. It also communicates with COINiD Vault for transaction signing.  As such, users can benefit from additional security and give one of their old Android or iOS devices a second lease on life.

For those cryptocurrency users who do not feel comfortable using anything other than mobile devices to keep their holdings safe, this option is worth exploring. Most people rely on hardware wallets, as they are more secure in general. However, the COINiD concept certainly has plenty of merit, assuming one has a spare device to “sacrifice” for this specific purpose. Having multiple options to store cryptocurrency is never a bad idea, though.
