Excellent.
My other "wish-list" for the steem wallet would be "security"
What I mean by that is hiding & protecting the keys for me / new crypto user types.
I think that latest malware that swaps addresses in the clipboard is ridiculous, security should not be able to be compromised by such stupid / simple / smart? "trick's ".
Well not if crypto is going to take off in the main stream market place. IMHO
Its stuff like that that could / might be the downfall of BTC.
their focus is on long 'keys' etc but they forgot the basics.
ie you can deadlock your doors & windows etc, but a key under mat or broken glass pane can bypass them.
If steemit can secure the steem coins in a 'usable' / user friendly way they will have an upper edge / valueadd that puts them above every other coin.
Yet another "sales / marketing tool" in a crowded ICO marketplace.
Everyone is crypto knows @fred777bear that steemit and the way they use the steem wallet is very gutsy - a way to make the perfect cryptocurrency. This is a different argument you present but think of it like this - Everyone can look at the amount people have in their wallets. So, in theory a hacker can see that the account holds this much - but why has none of it been taken?
Steemit is the experimental lure where everything is upfront and so far, no one has really been able to hack steem. Steemit just held a hackathon. You know, some people have millions of dollars in their account in plain view of anyone that wants to look at it?
Someday, somebody will realize this and when they do steem will go to the moon! How high will it go?
Think about it. When I started, steem was worth about 15 cents USD. It has gone up to $3.50 now it is down. There were some problems but Steem itself has integrity as a cryptocurrency or as I like to say for tax purposes a secure internet encrypted transaction token.
On poloniex and maybe other exchanges too, the steem wallet was comprised, hacked. It was fixed three times with no losses without a hardfork creating a new steem. A lot of cryptocurrencies have belly upped and died from such a thing. Ethereum has Ethereum Classic. Steem has graphene and a great group of developers
I agree.
And you are correct, the "bank balance" carrots dangle in the breeze to tempt anyone of such persuasions. Which is a very interesting "hide in plain sight" concept.
I doubt that the key part will or can be broken, like attacking a lock on a safe really. The hack will be a "tunnel" under floor or via an A/C duct or something. eg via the clipboard malware. these are the 'threats' that need to be addressed IMHO. once they are secure, then 9 billion can safely move there "money" to steem and have it in a 'glass box' for all to see. or at least the part they are not putting on the BTC roulette wheel!
