Title: Leftover bitcoins in my SR wallet
Post by: RudolfRassendyll on May 01, 2013, 10:45 pm
So I made a rather large conversion and now I'm sitting with a bit of extra btc. Usually I leave like .1 btc in my account and forget about it for a month, but I'm a bit nervous leaving ~1.8 btc in my account and not checking back in.

Is there any reason to worry about keeping the coin where it is, or is it pretty good to go as it is? I can transfer it back to a wallet but I hate to move stuff all over in and out of SR. I do imagine I'll probably spend everything I've got in a month or two.

Thanks!

i think it's safe, unless the amount is say 1000 or so.

I don't see any issue as long as you:
- take care not to go to a phishing site instead of the real SR,
- know you'll not need to cash your btc in t o pay an expense (in case SR is down)

All good unless there is a keylogger on your computer.

I'd leave it. As long as your password and PIN are strong it's safe.
And as PavlovsD said don't log into a phishing site!!!

Given the instability SR has experienced I see little harm in transferring back out to a non-SR wallet...

I also prescribe to this notion. As much as I believe in SR, it's not a bad idea to keep your funds in a non-SR wallet. Sometimes I'll leave .01 BTC in my wallet to prevent my account being archived for inactivity (don't think it happens for several months of inactivity).

You could always spend them.
