None of these wallets (except Electrum maybe) could gain a significant amount of new users during the last year or so, if you look at the stats of Google Play. Specifically Mycelium lost a significant amount of users during the last stress test when their centralized infrastructure was overloaded. As a consenquence, their developer announced on Reddit to try moving the wallet to SPV. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3db7qr/mycelium_servers_down/ _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
