RE: Engineering Update: DDoS, Wallet, SteemDAO
Thank you for giving this update. It's good to know about why you're doing different things and that security is a primary concern. I wasn't aware of the particulars of why the wallet was being de-integrated. It makes sense now.
It also means that in the future different interfaces can avoid implementing a wallet and just integrate steemitwallet, possibly lowering their risk.
I'm not a security expert myself, and yet the level of risk exposure that we're put under on so many websites worries me. We have so many adverts with flash and javascript. I don't know how these people can just have arbitrary code running on their sites, exposing all of their users. If something were to happen, I can't see how they wouldn't be liable. It would be like a car company installing parts from random companies with no testing whatsoever and not even any research on what they're installing.
