It looks like Samsung has finally got its house in order after it added support for Bitcoin in its Blockchain KeyStore. Despite the cries of mass adoption that would undoubtedly follow, Samsung decided to quietly add support for Bitcoin to its private key wallet that it calls its Blockchain KeyStore.
