Thanks for the article link! I don't like the insidebitcoins article for some reason, I mostly use coindesk or cointelegraph. I wanted to know if someone has used it and is really secure but I forgot to mention this in the post.
The InsideBitcoins article was the first to get published, so I included that. While that article is great, I too find CoinTelegraph's article better. The OP was updated to that link.
