On the other hand, if you have many funded addresses, it's much safer to import one private key than the entire seed phrase. How many people are really creating an airgapped secure setup for that?
Good point. My paper wallets are only ever imported in to live OS on an airgapped device, but yeah, good point that the majority of people don't do that and probably just sweep them using whatever hot wallet they happen to have installed at the time.
Agreed. Bitaddress should update to Segwit. There are some other sites that offer it, but I don't trust them.
It's not so much the Segwit issue, but rather I think single key pair wallets should only by used by those who really understand what they are doing and not by >99% of users.
Don't you think you should do proper research before using these external sites for crypto transactions instead of asking later when the damage is done ?
This is pretty standard across the whole crypto ecosystem. People buy shitcoins with no research and then wonder later how they were scammed, despite the whole thing being a plagiarized money grab from the start. People deposit coins to centralized exchanges and then wonder later why they went bankrupt, when their terms of service clearly state that they are gambling with your money. No different when it comes to using various wallet software. People only care after they have personally been affected.
