Ripple is the only crypto without a wallet, generally speaking... They are attempting to do the following:

• Encourage third parties to provide centralized service based accounts that have co-Incident 'wallet' software. The definition of wallet software will be interesting. Example, BitGo to my knowledge is the only company engaging in this capacity. I understand that the BitGo centralized service account and attendant software may be available in two (2) months for the Ripple network. It is alleged that BitGo has credible Bitcoin software today. BitGo is a service that enables the creation of an web account (which may be KYC-ed) and then this account may be accessed with attendant iOS and Android wallet software. It appears that all BitGo software is JavaScript based. BitGo has bugs in their software on iOS. More could be said.
• Ripple discontinued their own wallet technology and Ripple Trade service a number of years ago.

There are hardware wallets from the following:

• Ledger
• Keepkey is rumored to be working on one

The problem with Ripple's approach is that Ripple does not intend to be customer facing. They will leave this service to the centralized KYC-ed entities, doing business in the same old way. Telcos could step into the wallet void as they are doing in India, as Telco's for their subscription based customers are in a position to KYC those customers. The same would be true for the existing monolithic banking systems. This is how Coinbase is extending its service... by linking a Coinbase crypto account to the existing customer Chequeing, Savings accounts within the web banking portal.

I see no need for centralized crypto services in this business model, technically. Presumably, Ripple is doing this because it is expedient and does not compete with the banking sector's business model. It probably solves regulatory issues for them.

It does not advance the interests of society.

--

We need software wallets that can transact directly with the Ripple network and not depend on centralized banking systems. The Ripple network should now be considered a global public service utility. I expect it to replace Bitcoin which is why independence from the existing banking sector is important.

I may have missed something...

I built this one here to essentially fill the void with RippleTrade gone.  It literally is just a UI to Ripple and leverages Ripple's built-in decentralized exchange.

There are other Ripple wallets as well on the Links tab but all by non-Ripple developers like myself, which unfortunately makes it difficult for people to "trust" that it's a properly functioning and supported.

With regard to BitGo, it is no secret here that I have been singularly dismissive of the BitGo company and the decision by Ripple to use BitGo software... for anything - period.

Briefly,

1. BitGo is a centralized/wallet software service supports Bitcoin today and not Ripple... yet.
2. However, I have experienced and unhappily reproduced software bugs in the BitGo iOS software that are significant and demonstrate that BitGo does not know how to test software. This is in itself a significant statement. I experienced the account access bug on iOS iPhone 6s and 7 and two (2) flavours of iPad on iOS 9.3 and 10.0. Four (4) mobile devices all behaved identically. One might imagine, that BitGo would have tested centralized account access from iOS devices.
3. In all cases the BitGo software locked up; would not time out; would not die and had to be terminated. The user interface froze and nothing could be done with the app.
4. BitGo software appears to be JavaScript running in a iOS Safari view controller... wrapped as a native application. This means that all the software functionality runs on the BitGo centralized servers. They apparently and this may be required because they are running Safari as their JavaScript engine... all User Interface and WebView code runs on the 'main thread' in an iOS app. For this reason, if their is a communications failure and the JavaScript connection code does not time out, then their software locks up... totally. Nice design. I believe that BitGo does this because it is expedient. They can run all their code centrally. Yes centrally. Just imagine the people at the crypto company running all software centrally on their servers... what could go wrong?
5. Because you need a centralized service account for BitGo, this account is created and administered via a 'desktop' web browser... you can imagine how excited corporations and enterprises will be putting Corproate payments on to their corporate Windows machines... connecting to the centralized BitGo.
6. More could be said...

The issue is not BitGo, but Ripple's ability to make useful product decisions.

Someone, in Ripple is actually assigned these business objectives, thinking and then actually arriving at these decisions.

I can't vouch personally for it, but there's a New Zealand team that created a new Ripple wallet and debuted it today:

Reddit Link

Use at your own discretion - I don't think anybody's one a full code review on it yet.

Thanks for the reference.

I have looked briefly at the github repository. It looks real enough, however, I do not see the iOS build. I did see a reference at Reddit saying it had been submitted to Apple. I will look more into it,

If the code is real enough I would pay money to this New Zealand company. It is worth say, 50$ or more to me. This price would be roughly 50% of a hardware wallet price.

I like the approach to releasing the build and the binaries via PhoneGap. I have been thinking about how to do this, and this sort of process makes sense. Since the build and release process is from Adobe this is good enough.

There should be a way to certify the build.

Again, if this software is real enough, these guys should be approach the Telco's. Maybe starting in India or Germany with Vodafone.

It may be the case, that we here can help the Toast Wallet product. [Not sure toast is a good term] There may be a 'water' term that works conceptually with Ripple and drops. Maybe reservoir... or something along those lines.

Thanks Hodor!
