I was the victim of a rather large btc heist. Once bitten twice shy.
I would love to throw some serious coin at btsx, but until cold storage or Bitshares answer to armory comes along I just cant do it.
Too stressful holding the coins online.
If you have not been a victim of a crypto hack, then you just dont realize how easy and painful they are.
Judging by the other posts in this thread, paper wallets while not the sexiest thing in the world could be a real short/easy step to another doubling of market cap.
I would love to push the dev team in that direction. Anyone else?
You and I share a lot of concerns. We need two factor authentication or something better than "enter your password" as well. I wouldn't store large amounts of BTSX on any machine which can easily be keylogged.
Basically with Bitshares X right now you're trusting that your computer is more secure than the centralized exchanges like Bter. In reality your computer is probably a lot less secure than the average centralized exchange and the only thing Bitshares X has going for it right now is that hackers don't know about it yet to target it.
The best option I think would be to take Trezor and build Bitshares specific firmware for it. If you would like to fund a project you should fund the development of a Bitshares specific Trezor firmware update. That is all that would be needed to secure the Bitshares wallet in my humble opinion.

Yes, me. Cold storage is a very important feature.
Cold storage is nice but not the answer. It's better to have a custom Trezor or hardware wallet. This way you can make transactions, vote for delegates, but not store your private keys on your computer.
The insecurity comes from the fact that your private keys are on your computer and whenever you enter your password it can be jacked. We need more developer time invested in hardware Bitshares wallets because if we are going to keep a bank vault then that is the only way it can work securely, the average PC isn't anywhere near secure enough.
