RE: Hate putting private keys into websites? Introducing Steem Keychain!

in #steem6 years ago

This is a nice idea and good implementation. It's even asthetically pleasing.

The only thing I worry about with applications like this, is it requires me to trust you (not that I don't). At any time you could release an update and acquire people's keys could you not? You state your issue with that concept with regards to steemconnect etc, and it's a legit gripe. Keeping the keys local, and accessing through the browser is better, but does it really solve the trust issue?

Sort:  

Well if you are concerned about that (which is a legitimate concern) you can always download the extension code from the Github repo and just install it locally rather than getting it from the chrome web store. That is definitely not an option with Steem Connect!

Touche!

Distrust is the building block of society.
