Last Wednesday, BCH fans were introduced to a wallet that is concealed by pretending to be a generic photo gallery application. The developer who designed the new BCH wallet, Bchgallery, calls himself ‘Pokkst’ and has been working on a number of platforms over the last few weeks. Bchgallery is an open source Android-based BCH light client that allows users to store funds while keeping the wallet hidden behind the veil of a fake application. Essentially the wallet uses a decoy home screen and the first time the wallet launches the user must set up a PIN. To make the wallet more masked, the application’s title bar must be tapped five times in order to access the PIN screen.

The wallet also features an offline mode for composing raw transaction hexes to NFC tags. Additionally, the wallet supports the Cash Accounts protocol designed by Jonathan Silverblood. The camouflaged nature of the Bchgallery wallet adds another effective privacy style wallet into the BCH ecosystem following the Electron Cash Cashshuffle release and the recent Neutrino launch. Moreover, Pokkst has been developing cryptocurrency applications for quite some time and is known for creating the BTC wallets Crescent Pay, Apollo Wallet, the Orion Client and server, and an app called Procedural Pass.
