Do I have to create a separate Bitcoin wallet if I already have one, to use your service? Where will my wallet file get stored?

- williamcotton 12y agoYour wallet and the private key it uses to sign your transactions are generated in your web browser. You are free to send to and from any Bitcoin address. Your wallet is only associated with our services by signing and submitting a token that proves it owns the associated public address. We are exploring ways where any Bitcoin private keys can sign their own token and register with our infrastructure. This process would require the cooperation of other wallet software creators but we're sure a standard will emerge at some point. We would like to have some form of two-factor authorization in place before we expose the private keys to the user interface. Right now the private key never leaves the warm embrace of a function closure inside of a web worker and well out of the global scope of the DOM.
