I was just checking your website and I see that you finished your wallet . It's looks very simple and I have few awesome suggestions that should make it better if you don't mind of course
- Ability to import different wallets files [Electrum , Bitcoin Core , Multibit] into it
- Ability to see all our adresses and have full control of them including Signing and verifying messages
- SMS 2 Factor authentification
- Print Paper wallet from our adresses
We will take a look at these suggestions further. Thank you for your feedback, keep it coming!
I can keep the suggestions coming till the end of the world if you want however Iwant to know if you guys really will take a look on them or not . Also if you could make an email call it
[email protected] or something that would be awesome so we can send suggestions , for the meantime should I keep sending the suggestions here ?
Also I have a question , it says that we have full control on our bitcoins however there isn't the ability to export the private key , so how come we control them
The Blocktrail wallet is a HD wallet, this means that all your private keys are generated from 1 master key, which is generated in your browser/app and then encrypted with your password before sending it to be stored on the Blocktrail servers.
Additionally the Blocktrail wallet is a multi-signature 2of3 wallet, 1 is your primary master key, 1 is your backup key and the 3rd is the blocktrail server key.
So because it's a HD wallet you don't need make paper backups of every private key for every address, the first backup is enough for almost infinite amount of addresses.
It's also not recommended to 'export' any of the generated private keys, but more important, because of the multisig nature of the wallet there's no other wallet that by default can import it and can spend the bitcoins.
Your feedback is ofcourse very welcome, I think I explained about the keys, as for the importing of other wallets, the only way of doing this is by sweeping those wallets and moving the bitcoin into a new address, I think you're right that it's a nice feature to have to be able to do this in our wallet for users who want to switch, I will put it on the list but I have to admit that atm there's a lot of other things that are higher on priority then this one.
We have two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator (or Authy) already, is there any reason you prefer SMS over those?
The main reason for us prefering Google Authenticator over raw SMS is that the costs of an SMS every time someone logs in or does a transaction get's expensive pretty quickly!
We are planning to add a fallback to SMS though incase someone looses his Google Authenticator.
PS1. There's
[email protected] and anything going there will be processed and answered asap!
PS2. When we say "full control over your bitcoins" the thing we actually mean / value is; "Blocktrail does not have access to / control over your bitcoins".
