A BIP-0032 compatible Hierarchical Deterministic Groestlcoin Testnet Wallet



The app allows you to send and receive testnet Groestlcoins on your Android device using QR codes and URI links.
When using this app, please back up your wallet and email them to yourself!  This will save your wallet in a password protected file.  Then your testnet coins can be retrieved even if you loose your phone.
