Well, you can improve your security, by doing this :

But, when you a service provider with +/- 2 000 000 wallets, it should have been set by default, to the highest level.

I am truely dissapointed, but VERY happy all my money is stored in paper wallets. Grin

I am a new bitcoin user that uses blockchain as a wallet. I have used the above advice and gone from the default of 500 iterations to the 20,000 maximum.

What makes Bitcoin wallets different to typical online banking ?- And if your on-line bank account is hacked the bank is responsible for the loss.

Why is this not the case for bitcoin wallets?

I really feel for the stat guy and deplore some of the responses on this read saying he was to blame.

Bitcoin will never reach its potential if a newbee has to go through a raft of additional measures to keep their wallets safe.

I don't want to f about with Trezors and such, i want to use my wallet like a bank

why is this so difficult ??
