What is Steem Wallet

Steem Wallet is a chrome extension designed to protect users and prevent broken hearts. Steem Wallet will store your keys safe and sound inside itself. When you want to find out the key you need to login to a new steem service, you can just use Steem Wallet to figure it out. No longer do you need to login to steemit.com, go to permission, login, view private key. This tool will save you time!

Features

  • Persistant Login
  • Displaying Keys
  • Sending Steem & SBD
  • Viewing Account Balances *
  • Voting for witnesses *
  • Safe and Sandboxed

Note that trusting this wallet with your owner key or password before it's widely audited/verified is extremely risky. If you or someone you trust/believe isn't reading the source code before you use it, you might as well just be PMing the extension's author control of your account.

I have no idea if this extension/wallet is safe to use, or not. It may be! But I don't know yet and (probably) neither do you. Be safe out there.

(Fortunately, it is easy enough to find out - go read the code.)

@picokernel - on first reading of the code, a few things:

  1. there's no point in minifying JS in extension code, as it's only downloaded once to be saved. minifying is normally to save download time, but the extension is cached locally.
  2. minified javascript is much harder to read/audit.
  3. you're including multiple copies of the same js libs (at least in the github repo). one of each, non-minified, is likely sufficient. :)

Keep up the dev work, but please encourage users to use temporary, alt accounts until such time you know the wallet is secure.

You know software is good when you actually use it, and I do! My little wallet comes in handy for me all the time :)

I just tested the wallet and I like it :) however, I struggled a bit to install it. It might be a good idea to post a step by step installation guide for noobs such as myself.

Thank you for your efforts!

nice and simple and helpful to those within the paradigm of coding, developing, and masternoding. all the best to your circle, it seems it is the prosperous one upon steemit that continues to grow in building a self supportive infrastructure.
