Is it dangerous to have your bitcoin wallet's address somewhere that people can see it? Like if you post it to a forum so someone can send you money, would that make you vulnerable to a hacker getting into your account? Obviously, it's safer not to, but if it happened is it bad enough to warrant getting a new wallet?
I'm not in this position, it just occurred to me that somebody could offer some kind of bogus prize or something to get your wallet address so that they could run a script or something to try and rip you off. Like all those bitcoin faucets and whatnot. Is it possible for someone to crack a wallet?
