I just signed up and have seen ton wallet now available. What do the real crypto guys think about it? never even heard of ton and its available to a very large crowd.. the mobile app cant verify on same phone easily due to bugs on minimizing which is stupid for an audience that large. killing crypto maybe backed by the big banks...conspiracy?
If you can, it's always better to use wallet app designed specifically for wallet only because it concerns about security much more than extension of an app like ton wallet.
I've tried it and I think the UX is as simple as other wallet, personally never liked it.
On the second point if you are talking about phone verification on telegram, yeah they sucked, even using new mobile phone number they won't allow you to verify and I've got plenty of people that faced the same problem. The problem is there for more than a year already.
