The BitShares Hosted Web Wallet is ready...

[fluxer555]

This is huge. We're a few baby steps away from making this highly accessible to users wanting a decentralized exchange.

To market this properly, we need to take extreme security measures, and strengthen the weakest links in security for this wallet.

- What would happen if bitshares.org's server got hacked?
- How do we know if this wallet is on a fork or not?

Also, metaexchange / shapeshift integration?

Sorry for a silly question ,so I'm not able to log in with the existing (registered) account into the web wallet?
Thanks

Brain wallets should be a feature in the QT wallet, and you should be able to log in to the web wallet with the same brain key.

Where is the private key stored at ?

If the server is down and never go back up , can I still control my funds ? How ?

Private keys are in the browser encrypted by the password.  The keys can be re-generated from the code in https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-js ...  I'm thinking about the best way to make a off-line recovery tool, either in the Qt wallet or perhaps as a stand-alone.  So please stick to the small amount rule until we have a scalable plan B in place.

Isn't that what the brain key is for? What role does it play?

Also, this is EPIC. It's so smooth and fast. I can't wait until the markets work .

Will we ever be able to use this without an account? Then we could share links with people to show how liquid our markets are:

i.e. it would be great if this link worked without making an account:

Bam ... awesome thing


Edit: is 0.6.1 checking for public field to evaluate if titan tx should be sent? is there a documentation/discussion somewhere?

Yes, it will check the field for registered accounts. But there is still a bug where sending to unregistered accounts may still use TITAN--this will be fixed in 0.6.2.

Excellent!  One step closer to mass adoption!
