How can one recommend a service which he is not already using for some time?

If we recomend new users online wallet services, they will use it (and potentially lose money) no matter what.
If we recomend them regular clients, they will use the client (and potentially lose money) no matter what.

Later when they can decide what services they can trust, they can switch to online wallets...


bitprotection.info?
I would not trust with even a satoshi to service like this Cheesy

Why should anyone trust your site?
- Who are you? You have no name, phone number or contact address on your site
- your "Contact Us" form redirects to some third party site
- your official email address for the site is a @Gmail.com address

Reading your older postings in this forum, that you made with varying nicknames (Haydenwaves/bitprotection), i can only label you as scammer or troll.

Suggesting to newbies not to use online wallets will stop a lot of potential users getting onto the bitcoin train.

I agree that, at the moment, online wallet services are semi-professional beta-services at best and you should definitely not trust large amounts of bitcoins to them.

But no matter what you may think, online wallets will be the primary means of using bitcoins in the future. Just as webmail services are the primary means of using email.

Therefore, i'd rather encourage people to use one or even several of the more trusted online wallets. That will only help them to get better.

The other option is that we provide 100% secure off-line vault for your wallet. All you need to do is send us a copy of your wallet.dat on a USB stick into the mail and we will lock it into our secure vault.

No offense. I don't think so, my opinion that is.

Check out http://www.bitprotection.info  also Smiley

edit: if you are going to accuse us of being scammers please provide evidence -   we provide a service for a real problem and that is people erasing/lost wallets which happens a lot more then you know!

There is a post floating around suggesting to newbies to use an online wallet service. I completely am against any online wallet services as of now. I suggest to use either the LinuxCoin A lightweight Debian based OS with everything ready to go. or HOWTO: create a 100% secure wallet to keep your investment/BTC safe from getting stolen or lost.

Examples in why we should not use online wallet services.

MyBitcoin.com, where did it go?

MyBitcoin stole 2 bitcoins from me

Mybitcoin is a scam!

mybitcoin down or just me?

MyBitcoin.com - hosting provider: leaseweb.com

Lucky for me, I just pulled out of mybitcoin a few days ago with a few BTC using HOWTO: create a 100% secure wallet to keep my wallet safe.
