###bitcoin done right
This is the Android port of the breadwallet iOS app, which can be found [here](https://github.com/breadwallet/breadwallet/).
#####a completely standalone bitcoin wallet:
Unlike many other bitcoin wallets, breadwallet is a real standalone bitcoin
client. There is no server to get hacked or go down, so you can always access
your money. Using
[SPV](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Thin_Client_Security#Header-Only_Clients)
mode, breadwallet connects directly to the bitcoin network with the fast
performance you need on a mobile device.
#####the next step in wallet security:
breadwallet is designed to protect you from malware, browser security holes,
*even physical theft*. With AES hardware encryption, app sandboxing, and verified boot, breadwallet represents a significant security advance over
web and desktop wallets.
#####beautiful simplicity:
Simplicity is breadwallet's core design principle. A simple backup phrase is
all you need to restore your wallet on another device if yours is ever lost or
broken. Because breadwallet is
[deterministic](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki),
your balance and transaction history can be recovered from just your backup
phrase.
###features:
- ["simplified payment verification"](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0037.mediawiki) for fast mobile performance
- no server to get hacked or go down
- single backup phrase that works forever
- private keys never leave your device
- import [password protected](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0038.mediawiki) paper wallets
- ["payment protocol"](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0070.mediawiki) payee identity certification
