Are you saying everyone needs to write their wallet from scratch?

re: sillysaurus3, the "core" wallet is possibly even worse than parity. Why wouldn't you be as safe using the most popular one with the most eyeballs?

If someone steals your coins from the "core" wallet, they're just as gone, correct?

The real moral, as always, is don't keep wealth in a crypto-currency. You'll lose it and have no recourse.

No... Just the opposite.

Stick with core tech. If it's not core, don't use it. It's as simple as that.

Why do you think the core tech is going to be less buggy then the popular tech? One would think the most used wallets are going to be the ones that find the bugs earlier.
