Could it be that decent people hate liars, especially serial ones, and those who consistently defend them against their better knowledge.
still focusing on the man, not the message. Wtf is wrong with you?
That's why you're sending greetings with a link to Greg's forum for decent people.
1. They consider their coding not worth a shit.
Checking out Handcash as well.HandCash is a privacy nightmare, all ID's and wallet addresses and transactions are connected via their server, (your phone number, full transaction history ready for KYC with the ability to potentially freeze your funds as they seem to have proprietary backups, in addition, their wallet depends on their serves to broadcast your transactions), I've been told this is a feature, not a bug.
The fund freezing is indeed something that worries me.
tbf, the original SPV wallet (Mycelium) could do this too, minus the phone number and split key. i just looked over the Handcash site having never used it, and i can see why they think using one's cell number as a 2nd factor and splitting the key in the name of decentralization might be desirable for security reasons. but yeah, potentially freezing your access is not/never a good thing.
also, i'm not happy with the wallet space ever since it was shown that Trezor is susceptible to the STM32 glitch. hardware wallets were sold from the beginning under the assumption that the seed could never be extracted making it possible to carry either large or small balances around in your pocket. now, it's been reduced merely to pwd (25th word) security for small balances for most situations. it's almost like the original full node wallets and/or Armory (not great) are the best for security these days.
i like it too but ever since malicious and gvt monitoring nodes have been introduced, connecting your wallet blindly to their server network seems unsafe. one thing i've done recently is setup the Electrum Personal Server by Chris Belcher (my arch enemy) and it works great and was easy to configure with all the components local. it works in pruned mode (after IBD) too which is a big advantage. once it imports your balance addresses into bitcoin-qt, that's all you need open for watch only status. this feels much safer. i'm looking to experiment/setup ElectrumX for BCH/BSV (appears significantly harder to setup) but not sure if it can run on the same OS (maybe different -datadir?). probably not, so a VM will have to do. but see the problem here? if you have a hardware wallet, now you're dealing with 4 things to integrate: hardware, electrum server, full node, electrum software variant. if BSV can get direct hardware wallet integration with it's full node software in prune mode, that'd be a huge win:
