Thanks for your recommendation and opinion.

Most of the ethereum wallets are closed source since there's a high competition.

Competition for what? For coins, commission or what?

Are you familiar with that?

No, not at all. I haven't even bought ether (that's what the altcoin is called, isn't it?)


It's probably the closest to what you are looking for.

Available on Mac, Windows, Linux. It's free, open sourced, and fully audited.

I surfed to https://github.com/MyCryptoHQ/MyCrypto/releases/tag/1.7.13 and two software caught my eye. They are:

https://github.com/MyCryptoHQ/MyCrypto/releases/download/1.7.13/linux-x86-64_1.7.13_MyCrypto.AppImage

https://github.com/MyCryptoHQ/MyCrypto/releases/download/1.7.13/standalone_1.7.13_MyCrypto.zip

I won't use linux-x86-64_1.7.13_MyCrypto.AppImage because I'll need to install AppImage on my Debian 10.9 OS. From what I read on the internet, AppImage contains many security vulnerabilities.

As for standalone_1.7.13_MyCrypto.zip, I downloaded and unzipped it. You know what, it's for the Mac OS.

Summary: It's rather disappointing there's no open-source wallet for Ethereum, unlike Bitcoin which has Electrum.
