I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of that one person who's device was stolen, or their computer was hacked, stealing wallet addresses, private keys, and even security phrases. Well, that happened to me after someone broke into my hotel room and stole my work laptop. Fortunately, before they could figure out how to withdraw the funds out of my wallets, I was able to extract the funds and send them to entirely new address, but the difficult part of this was remembering the addresses. Storing the addresses seemed unlikely, since other secure information would also be stored in the same location. All I really wanted to was keep an address book to help pay certain vendors and also make deposits into my own accounts.

I'm not sure why, but most wallets do not have an address feature. Having a one stop shop for all your wallets just make the entire use case easier, and I believe it's that would help attract new crypto users to support the industry and it's movement. An address book like Digital Names saved me a lot of time to pull up saved files and find the needed address. Oh, and this is not limited to one specific blockchain, so you can have different wallet address like BTC, ETH, STEEM, ETC, and so on...

Use Digital names, because it helps you to easy remember your aliases in public addresses. It will help you to any transaction to easily pay someone using your account. It will also help you to secure your wallet address to prevent loss. Digital names will help you personally to make faster and quality transactions anytime.

Single crypto wallet must have a complex system behind, but once it work it would be really helpful especially for traders to avoid error while sending funds. Having digital name in crypto space is like having your own profile on facebook or twitter, they can imitate you but they can't duplicate you.

I think using the project that you have mentioned would be very helpful for every crypto users because it can saved lot of time for not entering long and complicated addresses. Good thing that they created a technology that could make your wallet address be more simpler, easy to memorize, easy to understand.

This might be the start. In exchanges, many issues are being encountered when it comes with private keys. Good thing that this platform came which gives total convenience to its user by providing a more simple platform and yet with additional security , above all these, smoother transactions. Digital Names is really something to commend.

I don't know but I find this somehow helpful. Since I've already seen a lot of thread here in the forum crying for help because of this issue. It's really frustrating to lose bitcoin with this kind of mistake. We've all worked hard for it and in a snap, just because of one mistake, everything could possibly disappear. I'm positive about this since I'm also afraid of losing my funds but I still need to research more information regarding this.

The moment that you can convert your address into readable letters, that is really great since you can now easily memorize it and to avoid mistakes on every transaction that you are going to do.

We are used to copy addresses when sending some coins to other wallet but come to think of it that there is Digital Names that can help you to make every transaction easier, no need to copy the address itself, it is more fast and secure for me. The idea was literally awesome.

Copying is pasting is pretty easy, but what makes it hard is the way of character selection. I still get nervous when sending funds to different addresses. Personalized address is awesome, can't wait to get one.

Beginners, of all people, are prone to this kind of crime for they are so naive about the process and what kind of system and approach could work in crypto space. They must assure themselves of the knowledge needed for them to survive what they are entering and of course, they must know who they could trust and rely upon, same goes with what platforms and third-party websites they should trust.

Most crypto users face this kind of problems in mistyping their crypto wallet addresses because it is too long and complicated that makes it hard to remember or to memorize their wallet address, that is why it will be helpful if there will be a technology that will convert your long wallet address into a simple and short wallet address.

You really don't have anything to worry about if your private keys and passphrases are not stored with the same laptop, because for a man who can afford a hotel room I'm pretty confident to say that you know how to protect your cryptos in your laptop and I don't think an address book would have any help with this situation. It's only purpose is store addresses you have and maybe for the purposes of other transactions, this won't be any different compared to saving this addresses on Google Keeps since the hackers won't have any use of it and a public address won't give them any kind of access to your wallet.

Looking for campaign manager? Contact icopress!

There's a service based on blockchain that does this. It's based on ziliqa and it's called "unstoppable domains".
And there's OpenAlias. And there are probably more.

And there are view-only addresses in the wallet of your choice, just to have them at hand.
And there are notes inside your phone.
And there is paper you can write or print on.

Of course, addresses without private keys can stay on cloud too, just make sure you don't put there private keys or mnemonic phrases.

... and there's this new thing that looks like an ICO.
LoL!

I think the Blockchain.info wallet has something similar to that called Address tag (this address 168WXhArv7Fasqvi2xm5MQMfLhG18jifMe belongs to OgNasty.
This feature can be for explorers or wallets as some wallets do like Bitpay.
In general, this feature is not considered essential in cryptocurrencies because it is a fundamental flaw because these currencies are based on encryption.

you can do it manually or using local scripts

It should rather be easy keeping a list of your addresses somewhere in you. Keeping it for yourself most of the time and guarding it would be the hard part since you aren't really used to doing such things. That or you could just safekeep it in a book, one that you could 100% guard or at least secure inside your house. These types of security measures should rather come as common to us but if someone was willing to create a project to make Addresses shorter and easier to remember then be my guest. But you should still keep up with such practices even with that kind of feature. Better safe than sorry after all.

I think that would be too hard especially if you really want to remember your address because the wallet address and the private keys are very long and this would probably became more harder because of the combinations of letters and numbers. It would really be better if you always have an copy or a back up of every wallet addresses that you have.

Not sure if you are telling the truth or just promoting that site but do you think you were specifically targeted because of your crypto holdings?
In that case I would ask myself who knows that I am holding crypto on my computer and storing all the sensitive information there which is a very bad habit.

People can make thousand of mistakes; it's not possible to create a solution for all of them because it might open another security issue. So, the best solution is not to make any mistake at all.

If you're that lazy double-check, then you should not use crypto. Even the bank will not process your request asap if you make a mistake here and there due to your carelessness.

Saving addresses on multiple devices or writing them on a paper
Double checking if you entered the correct address before sending.

It only becomes a problem when you become careless.

I think why sort of address features aren't being added on wallet apps is because it's really not a good idea(in a privacy standpoint) to be reusing wallet addresses. Hence why most wallet apps changes the displayed address after every time the wallet receives/sends funds.

In the first place, why does your laptop not have a login password?
