- gsich 9y agoThat's not IOTAs fault.
- bjl 9y agoIt kind of is, since this functionality should've shipped with the wallet, like it does with every other crypto.
- generalizethis 9y agoThey've never been focused on P2P and have made that clear to users--obviously they didn't hear, "Be your own bank." when that was said.
- davidgerard 9y agoIt kind of is, given they put a link to it in their subreddit's sidebar. The key problem is that IOTA's incompetence is pervasive. e.g. https://hackernoon.com/why-i-find-iota-deeply-alarming-934f1908194b https://hackernoon.com/why-i-find-iota-deeply-alarming-934f1...
- izelkay 9y agoThat is a blatant lie. No malicious online seed generator has EVER been in the sidebar on /r/IOTA. In fact, the lead moderator warned months ago not to use the iotaseed generator.
- elevaet 9y agoWell that's what happens with any digital currency if you share your private key with a malicious party.
