I have my funds 'safely' stored off Bittrex. I was surprised to see that only the private key is needed to access a wallet. I obviously hadn't done enough research (currently reading a book on Ethereum / Blockchains) as I had originally thought that the Wallet Address and Private Key formed a Pair together and that you must know both to access funds. After using the Mac Wallet, all I had to enter was the private key and it tells you it's associated address and balance, with the availability to send. Without going too much off the topic of Neo, how does everyone else feel that your Neo is just a lucky computer guess away from being accessed? Even if the odds are extremely remote. I would love to be told that my understanding is incorrect here That is not just extremely remote, it is virtually impossible (for now). But doesn't is seem viable that an ethically challenged person would set up an entire network devoted to testing millions\billions of key attempts per day at the hope that the machines will strike lucky?? Even so it would take years to find a viable private key and probably there would be nothing or next to nothing in that wallet. Maintaining the network would cost a lot more than the return. We don't have to worry untill quantum computing comes along. You say years, but maybe someone will get one in their first guess! I'd feel much safer if you needed your address AND your private key as credentials to access a wallet. Anyways - I hope everyone has their seat belts fastened on this Rocket ride

Thanks @greentea and @memberx I saw an interview recently of DHF (Neo founder) that they won't be developing a Mac wallet for sometime because their primary focus is the windows version - however now we have a Mac version that looks like it's from a third-party developer. How can we be sure that it is safe?? After reading a horror story from one of the members here recently I am very hesitant! Am I the only one who it too chicken to act at the moment??

Quote from: PeterPalmBeach on August 09, 2017, 02:23:26 PM Quote from: asky on August 09, 2017, 01:26:21 PM Hi All Neo enthusiasts. I am a Mac User and have held ANS/NEO for a while now. I have previously used the ANS wallet and held for a good while. Recently topped up via Bittrex and I want my funds out there ASAP into my ANS wallet.. As with Cryptos, you need to be careful when transferring them around. Transferring a BTC to an ANS wallet means disaster and lost funds, so I got cold feet when seeing that Bittrex calls it NEO (the rebranded name), and my ANS wallet is surely ANS. I transferred 1.1 (to include the bittrex fee) and the ANS wallet still isn't syncing, stuck around 90%, however I can see my balance is +1 on NEO trackers. I want to see my FULL balance in my wallet, but I worry about using anything unofficial as a wallet of my NEO/ANS. I can't install the new Windows client because I am a MAC user, and I want my GAS to generate so I want it out of Bittrex.. Do you guys have any advice for me? Sorry for the huge message! Thanks Asky Just download Mac wallet from here; https://github.com/CityOfZion/neon-wallet Excuse my naivety here - but how can I be sure that this link is safe??

Thanks Freo & Schubi and the others recommending the wallet. I have a Mac so I can't access the PC wallet at the moment so i'm going to have to take a look at using a web wallet temporarily while I hold them I think
