A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Client-side is not cloud.
Yes, you can keep client-side reasonably secure. You can't send the data for cloud processing and seriously expect much security or privacy... for now. Encrypt client-side and use cloud as storage... maybe; encryption algorithms also have a "best by" date.
My point is:
Letting anyone with the ability to switch the software without you noticing, anywhere near the keys controlling some Bitcoin funds, is a really bad idea.
