Anonymous bitcoin wallets are 99.99% scams the only for sure safe wallet is blockchain.
You do well to be careful but DarkWallet's model is more secure than blockchain.info (nothing bad to say about them).
1. DarkWallet is a browser plugin that updates respecting whatever policy you want on your comp, blockchain.info is a webpage that serves you scripts
2. With darkwallet you hold the keys in a way that you can use the wallet in offline mode, or not hold keys using multisig or in the future readonly.
Again, don't want to compare with blockchain.info, they do a great service and we're still alpha, but please open your mind and read the docs we paste there is a lot of information:
https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Alphahttps://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Alpha2https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Alpha3The first one is a general detailed description of initial alpha status, the other 2 documents provide very rich details about what we have been working on for the last 2 weeks.
So, our model is, it's not like
we won't run with your coins, it's like
we can't run with your coins since
we don't hold *any* user data, keys or nothing at all. Also we can't just make a phantom update like say other webwallets could do and then deny it, all our changes are very publicly documented in git (
https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet) and our release procedure is strict where we sign our code releases (I do myself).
cheers!
