You see, one of the consistent problem with the tech-heads in bitcoin is this: You assume every user is going to be a techie or can be expected to learn to do things The Right Way. Fortunately for me, real life has beaten that assumption out of me and paranoia has always proven to be invaluable when things go fubar.

We both know how to write a bash script and can recognize the common flags for numerous commands to know when somebody's trying to pull a fast one on us. Not the average bitcoin user we want to reach with a "user-friendly" front end.

The average joe will almost inevitably save the same file to the same location. For many of them, be it on Windows or a Mac, it's going to be the default desktop/Documents folder or equivalent.

You can be almost 100% sure they are going to over-write the same file.

Otherwise, I'm going to assume the other admin has a modified sshd and some logging service that records every single command I send in.


Sorry but I don't trust any "cloud" folder. Especially not when their TOS specifically disavow any responsibility if things got lost/deleted.


I like Linux, I've been testing out and trying out Linux since Slackware and dial up days. Know what turns off the average user? It's when somebody does the I-use-Linux-so-I-am-more-elite-than-you-fools thing on them and go on a rant about their OS. Sad to say, I used to do that too.

But the average person doesn't care about your OS religion. They want a tool that does what they expect and just works. If there is a problem, the first thing they are going to blame is your program, not the OS, not themselves.

For the record, I use a mix of Windows, Linux (including Android) and even Apple computers/devices. Whatever works best for the purpose and situation.



So you claim, but where's the proof that YOUR system is more secure than any Windows?

The weakest link in any system is always the user and in some cases, an over-cocky dev
