Maybe a stupid question. Wondering if various wallet developers will keep the private by themselves. When we install the wallet, address and private key will be generated. Will the developers keep a copy by themselves? I know the wallet project is in github and availabile for review, but how do we know the version we install is the one in github? Seems it's a matter of trust. Do we have anything that can verify it's safe?



yes some online wallet can get your private key  but will never use it because will lost users.

it is risky to save your money in online site so use offline or hardware on and will be safe.
