(Just read through all of the arguing. Good. That's why this forum is better than Discord. I've seen people get banned in Discord for simple things like just disagreeing to larger things like posting facts. Keep steering people to Bitcointalk everyone!)
Just installed the ZERO wallet... there is no password feature, anywhere? No "Encrypt Wallet" feature? Nothing in the text menu. Am I missing something? This doesn't seem very secure at all.
As an example to test things, like in other wallets, I created a new receiving address. In other wallets a password is required to do so. No password dialog popped up.
And I wrote it elsewhere, however writing again. The next wallet update needs some help. Examples would be animations on the splash screen so it doesn't appear frozen and removing the large green bar after the wallet is synced.
coinmancan, thanks for detailed feedback!
First, let me address the security question. We are distributing not only a desktop wallet but also a full node running the blockchain behind it. This is like a Qt wallet in the Bitcoin domain, and architecturally is different from a mobile (SVP) wallet that uses a full node running remotely. In a very real sense, securing the entire computer is needed. This includes physical security of the unit and the room, strong password for the OS login, prompt screen lock with a password, perhaps even a secured BIOS.
Much appreciate the UX observations, and do keep them coming. Would like some comparisons of features and UX, between this and other desktop wallets, like Bitcoin-style Qt, Swing, etc. And in addition to critique, an occasional word of praise would be so welcome.
