With more than 6000 products listed, it's time to extract some numbers again.
The following are some findings in the data, followed by the full data.
Removed or defunct#
Of all the 3381 products that are no more,
- 1600 had less than 1000 downloads at the time we first listed them
- 628 we did not get to review before they were removed or defunct
- 607 were custodial or did not even allow to send or receive BTC. That is 607 products that if you used them to store bitcoins, you would now not be able to do anything with those bitcoins.
- 18 had public source but we failed to build that source
- 13 we managed to build but not reproduce
- 2 were reproducible - namely Zap which was discontinued in favor of BitBanana and ABCore which was a very limited experiment from the start.
Obsolete or stale#
Of all the 775 products that are not getting updates in years,
- 221 have less than 1000 downloads (and many of them are likely to disappear as shown above)
- 179 are custodial or "no send or receive". You definitely don't want to use these.
- 0 are reproducible
OK#
Of the 2164 products that look well and alive
- 937 are custodial or "no send or receive"
- 143 are do-it-yourself projects (20), not yet actually released (41) or most likely never getting released (82)
- 306 are closed source
- 46 are not compilable (12) or the compiled app does not match the released app (34)
- 20 are reproducible
