Title: Blockchain, yay or nay?
Post by: Caudillo on August 09, 2013, 04:35 pm
What do you guys think about it? Searching the forums I saw one person recommending it.

Frankly I was mostly attracted to it by the idea of being able to just log onto it from tor or a public computer.

I assume you mean blockchain.info. If you do, then I can recommend it. They make a pretty good argument for why it's as safe as it can be, being a hosted wallet. If you *do* use it, use the browser extension and the smartphone app. These add another layer of security, helping prevent a malicious hacker from doing code/content injection on the web site.

Use a really great passphrase. Back up your wallet. etc, etc.

Please excuse the noob (me). How would one back up their wallet, csillag? Much appreciation for any clues.
