If that's the only reason why not use a web or mobile based wallet? Personally I never had much of a problem with the qt client, even when I've let it get out of sync for a month or two, but if you're having such issues it might be a sensible move.
I'm actually unable to log into the web wallet at the moment. It's been down the last 2 times I've tried accessing. I, too, will be cashing out of DGB once I can access my funds.
I could host a site for you... yes, give me your privkeys (the main reason why people use cryptos is because them, and only them are responsible for their money).
Phone wallet... Phones will never be secure, for more info google "the fappenning".
- because the end user made a mistake/was too lazy to lock down sensitive information.
^^^ This!
It's such a good example, on way to many people involved into crypto's are too tech savy minded. I believe it leaves them a blind spot to a certain degree on the not so tech savy minded, and prevents a capable perception towards user experience. Most users simply don't have their wallet open 24/7. And the average person, will most likely
not be waiting minutes, hours or DAYS for some piece of software to "synchronize", before he is able to use it. That's one major flaw a good deal of crypto's lack: Instant usability!
If people want to pay in stores, they draw their wallets, and be done. Or use their plastics, swipe, and be done. Or at home, bank wire their money, and be done. Heck, using Paypal, and be done.
What they certainly DON'T want, is to fire up some crappy ass software, waiting ages for it to synchronize whilst ladidaing in the meantime trying not to lose their patience before they can see what their
actual balance is...
The Bitcoin sucks in that way, whilst they have only 10 minutes block time. Yet it's one of the downsides, why global IRL adoption is a difficult path. If you don't have the proper wallet, no instant usability! And Digibyte, with it's DigiSpeed 15 second blocks, is demanding a loooooot of patience on such factor and one of the very basic factors why it will never ever surpass certain other coins. Jared can talk all he want, and market caps mean utter shit. If instant usability isn't solved, crypto's will remain a niche, with Digibyte nothing more than a tiny niche within that niche.
