This is by far the easiest way to introduce someone to BitShares.
Well done!
Yeah but it would be even better if you could use the site without creating an account. Hardcore bitcoin maximalists will look at the create account pages and see that as an excuse to close it and not bother to look at the exchange.
Also how can we be certain that the server hosting the wallet has not been hacked? Maybe we could have a robohash or something of all the site's html & js.
I agree, I would love to open it up. It seems like low-hanging fruit. Keep in mind, we need to make sure it is reliable before getting even more traffic. I'm going to like this a lot more when it uses multiple servers....
I plan to package it as a plug-in so it can be versioned.. Chrome makes this easy so I would not have to sacrifice another feature to do it. Firefox would be good too but I'm not sure if they support web site plugins yet. A plugin will help protect private keys from a hacked server. There is still a matter of server security where a hacked server could re-direct funds.
A blockchain withdraw limit could help. We could add a cold wallet creator and bring the hot wallet to the web. That might be the more practical way to do it. I know we do not support withdraw limits yet though.
