Retards why cant you just keep your own wallet. Is it really so hard? All i see around here is a bunch of people crying about how someone stole my bitcoins. well you deserve it. IMO
Hopefully no one is keeping thousands (or even hundreds) of bitcoins with them. Hopefully.
But browser-based wallets do let you access funds on the go. I don't feel that it's their existance that's the problem, but rather the usage (although I have my fingers crossed that there won't be the massive losses to an online service yet AGAIN.)
I couldn't agree more these are the last place you would want to put a lot of coins in . For small amounts and on the go they work fine. I'm sure I'll be able to go to my work computer on Monday and make sure I got the right wallet and stuff.
