RushWallet is a new and extremely easy-to-use bitcoin wallet -- launched by KryptoKit -- that can be used on all mobile devices and web browsers. The service could help make bitcoin an even more popular currency.
RushWallet is essentially a mobile-enabled website that allows you to instantly send and receive bitcoin payments. Individual wallets are created by using a special 'color-in' feature that lets you drag your mouse around a specific area to generate a unique secret URL that gives them access to their RushWallet. A password can be added for enhanced security.
Users can view their balance, send or recive bitcoins and view a history of transactions. KryptoKit does not store any information or bitcoins. The source code has even been made publicly available so any user can verify the security of the system.
