RE: TIMM (MentorMarket) Now a Registered EOS Block Producer Proxy
Great initiative! The more available, the better for the community which is still not as involved as they should be. I include myself in those as I have yet to feel comfortable taking my tokens into a new wallet to vote and stake as I feel the process is more technical than I can handle given my security paranoia. I recently have some documents that show I can use my Ledger but still not sure how to get them from my genesis wallet. I think ignorance and security is what is holding back the community from participating.
Thank you!
We're not aware of anyone who's using the Ledger option yet. That would be a nice route to take.
Similarly to Steem Connect, Scatter and Greymass' eos-voter encrypt your keys locally, so they're ostensibly never exposed on the internet. Inputting a private key on a website seems crazy now. These interfaces avoid that. Greymass has a provision to airgap, so that you can use the wallet on a machine that never is online. It works quite well.
But you have to do what you're comfortable with. BTW, there are some airdrops that you won't receive without taking action. Some are distributed for voting. Others require additional actions on your part. So you really can't maximize your EOS holdings without stepping out and using some sort of interface.
Thanks for the details! I will continue look at the options out there to do something soon! The Ledger Wallet is using the Fairy Wallet that was created with the Bounty provided by one of the BPs.
