Q. Why should I use an online wallet versus keeping my coins in a paper wallet, QT client, online exchange, or pool wallet?



A. Nobody should keep all of their coins in one place. You probably dont keep all of your income in one place, right? Every day, most people carry a small amount of money on our person, and keep various amounts in other locations (banks, safe deposit boxes, buried in the backyard). Crypto currencies should be no different. Keep your savings offline in a paper wallet, or in an encrypted wallet on a PC you trust. Back those keys up to Dropbox, USB stick, whatever you are comfortable with. But what happens when you want to spend some of those coins and youre not at home? Or you just dont want to load up a paper wallet to send a few bucks to a friend? You reach in your wallet (MyWl.lt) and send a few coins quickly and securely. And, if the recipient is also on MyWl.lt, you only need their username, email, or trade key. Paypal made people trust in sending money online by making it easy and secure. For cryptos to become widespread, services like MyWl.lt are absolutely necessary.



Q. What makes MyWl.lt secure compared to other services?



A. To answer this, lets examine what common issues have plagued other wallets and exchanges:



Inside jobs (e.g. Gox, Inputs.io) - Often, these are simply young inexperienced people who got in over their head, couldnt resist the temptation, or who wanted to steal the coins all along. MyWl.lt is owned by a highly trusted member of the crypto community with a history of philanthropism. In addition, any new hires would be fully vetted, likely someone already known and trusted for a long time, and would only be given security access to the parts of the system they need.



Poorly written code (e.g. CryptoRush, OpenEx) - MyWl.lt is written on a secure proprietary codebase where the web servers have no access to the wallets. The internal audit system makes it impossible for an account to ever have a negative balance. Also, a "watchdog" process runs every minute looking out for suspicious activity both on the website and the wallets. If anything happens, the affected services are locked down automatically until they can be audited.



Q. Who runs MyWl.lt?



A. MyWl.lt is owned and operated by one person - clapyohands. Here is a little bit about my background:



I have been developing websites since 1995, and doing it full time since 2001. I started out as a junior developer in a small firm and quickly became lead developer, with an internal team of five people and another five offshore. At that firm I developed sites ranging from basic brochure (sales) sites to a complicated production management system running a large scale masonry business (employee scheduling, project management, inventory control, etc). While there, I also worked with fortune 500 companies like BASF and FujiFilm. From 2006 to 2013, I was the sole developer and CTO for a fantasy football advice company, which grew into a network of sites that is still operating and serving tens of millions of page views per month.



In 2013, I left that position to work full time in crypto currencies. For the last 12 months, I have been dedicating my time to the Digitalcoin community: acting as Digitalcoin Community Administrator; serving as a Digitalcoin Foundation board member; and developer of the first IRC wallet bot (DGCBot) and an open source faucet built on NodeJS (



Ill admit that I dont spend much time on the forums, so you may not recognize my name, but Im always around on IRC (#digitalcoin) and happy to answer any questions or concerns you have. I tend to avoid forums mostly because my original goal when leaving my first development position was to build "the next generation of forum" for the web. While I didnt get to take on that project, it seems that nobody else has bothered to make forums easier to use in the last 15 years either.



Note: Digitalcoin Foundation Chairman Rawdawg- will be helping promote MyWl.lt and can speak on my behalf, but has no access, and no ownership in the company. MyWl.lt is the official online wallet of Digitalcoin.





Every legitimate crypto currency needs secure online wallets.
