| May 16, 2018 at 0:36 | comment | added | Leo Ribeiro | awwww man... You are absolutely right. I finally understood how eosjs-keygen works and yes, it's definitely a matter of policy and communication! Thank you for bring it up to my sight! | |
| May 15, 2018 at 12:28 | comment | added | Ariel Scarpinelli | Yeah. But that is a matter of trust and proper policy and communication. The private key must never travel the internet. For the case you also trust Scatter devs not to do whatever they want with your key. In any case I say that you should support it or any other competitors, just not lock in to it if you want to reduce friction | |
| May 14, 2018 at 18:58 | comment | added | Leo Ribeiro | That I understand, but are you going to give your PK to the application when you need to sign a transaction? Let's say a simple one like comment or vote. When you have scatter you have a popup to confirm the transaction you are signing and the app never sees your PK. | |
| May 14, 2018 at 18:55 | comment | added | Ariel Scarpinelli | @LeoRibeiro you can do all that from JS. In the end your app is always calling http methods | |

Added explanation about browser cache clear
|
| May 14, 2018 at 18:48 | comment | added | altShiftDev | localstorage is not a permanent solution, if the browsers cache is cleared this will go too. This is why most methods involve some sort of browser extension. Either you'll have to ask them to back it up properly, which creates friction or rely on a more robust method. | |
| May 14, 2018 at 12:55 | comment | added | Leo Ribeiro | but how are you going to sign transactions and interact with the application? | |
| May 14, 2018 at 12:55 | comment | added | Alex Gonzalez | That's an interesting workaround, although it would be bad to tell users that they are screwed if they ever clear the browser cache. | |
