Pirate Wallet

About this app

Pirate Chain (ARRR) is a 100% private send cryptocurrency. It uses a privacy protocol that cannot be compromised by other users activity on the network. Most privacy coins are riddled with holes created by optional privacy. Pirate Chain uses ZK-Snarks to shield 100% of the peer to peer transactions on the blockchain making for highly anonymous and private transactions.

Ratings and reviews

If you install on android with at least 4gb ram. Then it works great. I've used it on several different android phones and the only time it didn't act right was when I had less than 4gb of ram. It was slow then but still worked. I've used it for over a year now and never had a problem. It's actually their best wallet in terms of easy to use and lack of problems. It displays the ARRR value in BTC and USD. Don't discount the ram issue.

Sync was clunky. It seems to time out, then resume after I reopen app. I am not sure what made it stall. It was a very slow process too. Overall serviceable. I confirmed that I could receive and send coins. I'd like the send interface to show how many coins are available to send. This seems a pretty obvious feature to have. Not too concerned though because I would not stupidly keep a lot of assets on a phone wallet anyway. It's mainly for minor transactions.

This app is abysmal. The sync interrupts every time you leave the app to do something else. It's taken 2 days to get to 89%, and earlier it made me log in again and the sync was at 49%. That is with fast internet and 4GB of RAM. The desktop version is just as bad, I have 16GB of ram in my laptop, the sync is just as slow. I reckon ARRR has been abandoned as a serious crypto, dreadful investment.
