Put up a warning on README that funds can get stuck permanently

Closed this issue · 6 comments

If #26 isn't going to be addressed, could you at least do the ethical / right thing and let people know that using your software can lose people money?

As long as you have a backup of your private key there is no way that this issue will loose your tokens.

Please ensure you always have a backup of your private key.

How do I use the "backup of the private key" to withdraw these funds? Any instructions / tutorials anywhere?

Sidenote: even if there's a way to recover them, a broken app that holds people's funds should still warn people about this.

I found this helpful to get the secret key.

now chill.

Thanks @woodycockburn! I'll give it a try...

Please do not just trust random QR decoder websites with a QR code that contains your secret key, as the tutorial @woodycockburn posted instructs. Just a security FYI...

Hi @taoeffect - this issue is really old, and after @woodycockburn posted instructions that seemed to be the end of it, so I'm going to close this issue out. Please ping this issue if you are still having any problems.

Thanks!
