Title: Ethos wallet Beta
Post by: riksen on June 18, 2018, 08:17:21 PM
Are testers of the beta ethos wallet here.
I would like to know your opinion about the wallet.
I am not a tester myself.
Do you think this wallet is better than the others that already exist.

The user experience and interface definitely looks good however, I wouldn't suggest it to anyone as It's not open source and we can't know for sure the data that is being collected (seed, our portoflios etc.)

Do you expect that they will use an open source. What you say when they start collecting data I will not use this wallet. I have read that there are quite a few airdrops in your wallet at the lauce.

I found this on their Reddit, I believe it's from the staff:

Quote
"We can't open source everything, but we will undergo an open source initiative after the first few releases and encourage community involvement in our development efforts. Key management will almost certainly be open sourced so that everyone knows their keys are secure"

I've checked their GitHub and there is nothing related to the wallet so don't expect it to be open source, not anytime soon anyway. I understand how tempting it could be to use a wallet with a nice UI and good features but never compromise the safety of your funds because of that.

Thanks a lot for the information.
I will not use this wallet anyway.
What you say, the security of your money is very important.
I will continue to monitor the development of this wallet.
Who knows they are going to make it an open source.
