Title: Need opinions on a new project idea...
Post by: flagup on November 09, 2014, 11:09:53 AM
Hi guys, just signed up to get some opinions on a Bitcoin related project I'm planning to develop.

Basically what I plan to create is an online vault for your wallet.dat files, you create an account and upload your wallet file. (so not really a online wallet) To make this secure as possible I'm going to mangle the file on upload and then re mangle when you want to export it. This will require a separate password... I will have top SSL encryption and secure everything I see that might cause harm.

What's your opinions on this?

The guys behind that have pretty good reputation; you, less so. This is 99% of the battle.
Also, is too an online wallet.

I see your point. I'm sure I could built a solid backup service but getting people to use it/trust it is another factor.

A vault is a magnet for thieves. I'd rather use some free back-up service and hide my wallet files in a thousand of innocent files.

Why not just use storj or maidsafe?
