According to bitcoin.org \"Copay wallet relies on a centralized service by default. This means a third party must be trusted to not hide or simulate payments.\"\r\n\r\nIs it possible to use SPV mode similar to Bread Wallet? According to bitcoin.org \"Bread Wallet uses SPV and the Bitcoin network. This means very little trust in third parties is required when verifying payments. However, it is not as secure as a full node like Bitcoin Core.\"\r\n\r\nUsing SPV won't make Copay more secure and trustworthy? Why Copay doesn't use it?"}}
