How safe/secure is the web wallet? I have issues with boot2docker and will wait for one click install. But in the meantime I would rather not leave my xcr on bter so hence my question.
I feel like there may be a group of people out there that hold Crypti and may not fully understand the technology behide it... So this post will be to help better understand whats going on with your investment...
Ok I see a lot of ppl asking about sending Crypti to wallets and if the wallet is safe... or I can't open the web wallet are my Crypti gone?
Let us look at Crypti as your not sending them to a wallet... your sending them to an address... the wallet you use is only a way to access them... and the way you prove ownership to that address is with that passphrase...
So you can access (open) the
same address on the web wallet, docker in windows, and on a cloud server
all at the same time... the wallet is only a tool... the address holds the Crypti...
It might also help to read this Bitcoin Wiki article about the "Brain Wallet", which is essentially what the Crypti web wallet is.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BrainwalletSo basically, no matter what node you login to, as long as you use the same pass phrase, and the node is up to date with the right block chain, your funds will always be there.
It is important to remember that with a brain wallet, if your pass phrase is compromised, you're funds can be stolen. This is why we encourage using the second passphrase for transfers.
It is also important to remember that if you forget your pass phrase, no one can help you retrieve your funds. They will be lost. So ensure that you have a way of remembering, but also protecting, your pass phrase.
