Title: Easy to use and yet secure wallet Post by: refaelsh on March 20, 2013, 02:22:27 PM I currently use an blockchain.info as My wallet.
I am very paranoidal person by nature, but I am also a creature of comfort. Blockchain.info seems to the best of two worlds. But what I want a more secure wallet? I would go with all the hassle of booting up a Linux livecd and etc... But this is not very convenient, I will have to do it EVERY TIME I WANT TO USE MY BITCOINS!!! I was wandering, what does the community thinks, what can be a great solution of both easy and secure wallet?

Easy yet Secure in this case are oxymorons, just like Easy yet Secure tends (some software addresses this) to also be an oxymoron. It can't be both. If it's easy to use, it's not so secure. If it's secure, it's not easy to use.

Ye, I am aware of this oxymoron. But I am an engineer by profession: every problem has a solution. We just need to find it.Easy yet Secure in this case are oxymorons, just like Easy yet Secure tends (some software addresses this) to also be an oxymoron. It can't be both.

So, the third component is price: I believe in the future, you can pick two from the follwing three properties: easy, cheap, secure :) Title: Re: Easy to use and yet secure wallet Post by: crazy_rabbit on March 20, 2013, 02:57:55 PM I think should be thought of like this: What is the best way to stores- Easy yet Secure, a big box of gold.

EDIT: I run terrawallet.com, and one thing I had been thinking about was multi-sig accounts for every account holder. Where to send money the private key from both the service and the user would be required. Title: Re: Easy to use and yet secure wallet Post by: warpio on March 20, 2013, 03:19:45 PM I think of my offline private keys as my secure bank account, and whatever I have in my blockchain.info wallet as my "cash on hand". That way I can only get mugged for whatever amount I carry around with me.

I downloaded Electrum yesterday, but haven't had a chance to play with it. I did see that genjx contributed to Electrum, so that doesn't make me feel super good about it.
