About security:

Personally, I simply keep my accounts separate.
Inspired by that sad tragedy last year, by the way, I stick to my multi-tier architecture.
Because I want to be able to trust, so I need to be able to trust my own precautions.

Low amounts / would not matter much:
Using any wallet, incl. webwallet (site could have been hacked).

Mid-amounts, and need to access often:
I am using my own local HZ wallet, on my browsing machine (could have a trojan).
Uptodate firewall, antivirus, Java, kept as clean as possible - but there will never be 100% security.

Larger amounts, access seldom:
Booting Linux from a current LiveCD (read-only = no easy way to get hacked);
Blockchain & HZ & Java unzipped from a USB-stick, incl. checking sha256sums.
Usable within a few minutes, once I got that shellscript ready.

If I will ever own really large amounts, I would definitely learn to sign transactions
on an offline machine (cold storage), so that the privatekeys / passphrases never
enter a computer which is / has ever been / will ever be ... connected to the internet.

Be you own bank = Be your own security department.

That's exactly what i'm doing now , plus linux as a platform, firewalls on both PC and router (just for the sake of paranoia) and a bunch of other stuff.

SILVER's back-up account is actually a network of accounts for extra security and protection. Those accounts i only access once when i create them, and will access once more in case liquidation of the asset is needed.

Oh, and for extra extra security i clear my browser cache every day... just to be sure
...

Very good.

And let's keep on extending this list, whenever we find new sec hints.


I have just come across a novelty in brand new NXT, which closes an attack vector in using "webwallets"

... In fact this has always been the case your passphrase never left your browser when signing transactions. The novelty of the light/roaming client is that the JavaScript code used by the client is loaded from your local installation thus closing the attack vector in which a remote node could push a malicious JavaScript to steal your passphrase.

Moreover, for the high security/large-amount-of-money-accounts, better use a fresh browser, one without any add-ons/plugins installed!

Nice advices for keeping coins secure.

You also mentioned about signing transactions on an offline machine. I know how to do it for Bitcoin. But is there any tool to sign raw transactions for HZ?

[mirador17]

Come on. I am waiting for another pump.

[llildur]

Seems that the blockexplorer and the website are offline someone can confirm that?

Thanks for reporting, Pharesim fixed it.

If you only want pump and dump coins, HZ may not be a good choice for you.

[MikeGike]

What's the Currency Code to send HZ? I'm at NextHorizon.github.io ---- been owning HZ for four months. Why's the horizonplatform.io site only up sometimes?

  please excuse me, sent hz to poloniex most easily

I am holding several millions and different assets since more then 2 years. But i want a pump to sell high and buy more cheap coins after the pump.

No, not under 80 satoshi.

Why not? HZ blockchain is stable. Price is also relatively stable. You won't lose much by holding long. But if the price will recover later, you will earn more.

Just seeing roadmap here https://horizonplatform.io/about/development-roadmap/

What's going on with development ? smart asset coming soon? I see final testing

Basic idea of determining the 'owner' of crypto currency is someone know the 'passphrase' of account. Most of all crypto currency is work with public/private key pair, mean every account/address of any cryptocurrency you see around is their 'public key' which have their relative 'private key' in pair. As this crypto world run on most 'trustless environment' (mean no one needs to establish exclusive trust other like Banking system for doing value transfer on crypto currency transaction) only way to identify ownership of any account who knows the 'passphrase'.

As like paper currency cash, owner can prove himself showing physical paper where money was printed by 3rd party earlier. Owner of that piece of paper somehow 'own' it and have rights to spend it. But losing that physical paper will lose his ability of spending the money. Same with crypto currency account created with some 'passphrase' only known by creator can spend. As there is no 3rd party to provide identifican for account holder, cryptocurrency system without real brain will only allow someone to move/spend from account as soon he/she provide his hidden passphrase key.  Losing passphrase doesn't necessarily mean value of account has just gone, but value might be still on account/circulation but nobody can spend/move from account without actual passphrase and it virtually become valueless....
