Can someone explain to me why the Nem wallet is going to be browser based?

If you tell us your concerns I'm sure we'll be able to get them out of the way Smiley


I was under the assumption the client wasn't going to be browser-based?  Huh

Again what are your concerns ?

Serving the GUI over a browser makes a lot of sense these days. It's more lightweight, easier to maintain and with all the fancy libraries in no way inferior to a native GUI.

Maybe your concerns are more directed at brainwallets ? If this is the case then it will please you to hear that our client will support local wallets.

Is it going to be browser-based? Do you know?

So long as I can store my coins locally on my PC and not on some database then I'm fine with it.


The GUI will run in the browser yes. However this is just to interact with the native client that is running in the background.
You WILL BE ABLE TO STORE your wallet LOCALLY !

This is awesome that we are able to store our wallet locally. This can attract more people who are afraid of stealing coins from brainwallets e.g. when they are offline.
