Whats up Community,
What is this all about?My name is Alan. Me and a small group of students are what you would call "crypto-nerds".
We are following the entire crypto scene for a very long time, and Ethereum has raised our attention a while ago.
We found that the ethereum clients (that you find out in the wild) are too geeky for the average user. So
in order to improve the mass adoption of ETH, we want to give our contribution to the community and introduce
A Secure Ethereum Web Wallethttps://ethereumwallet.orgYour password is never sent to the server. What the server does save, it your AES encrypted wallet.
When you visit the website it would then download the encrypted wallet, and decode it locally using your password.
The decoded data at no point leaves your computer.
For an additional security measure you may export your 12 word mnemonic seed, so even if you lose your password you can recover your funds.
Also here, the mnemonic is never transmitted to the server.
This web client works just like any other offline ethereum client.
The source code is based on a fork of blockchain.info's source code for the HD wallet.
What you basically get is a Web-Wallet which is entirely is in your possession. That means that you are the only one having the private keys to your ethereum addresses.
A copy of your wallet is stored on the webserver AES-encoded with your password that also at no time is transmitted to our server.
So even when our server should get compromised, your coins are at no time in danger.
Other security features allow you to set up a Two Factor Authentication using Google Authenticator or export your wallet using a simply memorable mnemonic string.
So start your wallet now with an unlimited number of accounts (all derived using BIP0039 techniques from the mnemonic secret of your wallet)
Alpha StadiumPlease note that the software is in alpha stadium right now, yet fully functional when it comes down to sending and receiving ETH. Further versions of the software will be entirely compatible with the wallets generated by the alpha.
However, there will be bugs. And this is good!
If you like to contribute to our project, feel free to test excessively and give us feedback about possible bugs or errors.
