Due to the request of the community we decided to make available a Fly online wallet at Steps Stay Safe. We trust this will make it easier for Fly holders who do not want to download the Fly wallet before the fork. Once the Fly Team post the updated wallet we will compile it and you can move your coins.
You can register and use the online wallet at
www.altcoinsteps.comWTW?...I thought a web-wallet was 'out of the question'? Now I'm confused! Have I been telling ppl the wrong thing? Sheesh...wish someone would clue me in before I open my big mouth to help them.
Im going to tread lightly here and just say the facts. I was approached by Altcoin steps about a web wallet, and I told them I was 100%
completely against the idea, and I dont like webwallets. So just so you know, I got the news just now too , that they went ahead and did it anyway.
Vegas
Vegas is very clear to all here that he prefers a wallet in his posession on his computer with security he has put in place.
I have to agree that the best safety is that which you control. Without proper backups, virus and malware software and
an anti-keylogger you could even be at risk on your own computer. If you are missing any pieces of the safety puzzle, please
take steps to correct it.
This mean that each Fly holder should carefully weigh their desire for a web wallet vs. any risks associated with a web wallet.
I am only familiar with CoinBase, which is essentially a BTC web wallet, and StaisyBit. I am comforable with Coinbase
because it is a Silicon Valley company with major tech investors and StaisyBit Cloud Staking because I personally
know some of the people behind it. Exchanges are also basically web wallets. If you decide to use a Steps web wallet,
make sure you ask enough questions concerning security to be satisfied your coins are safe.
The best wallet is always the one that only you have 100% control over and have set up strong security for.
Everyone should determine for themselves the risk vs. the convenience and, if you proceed, do it in an informed manner.
