GreenAddress
GreenAddress is a
user-friendly multi-signature wallet with improved security and privacy. At no
time your keys are server side, not even encrypted. For security reasons, you
should always use 2FA and the browser extension or Android App.Shared control over your money:-
This wallet requires every
transaction to be authorized both by you and this third party. Under normal
circumstances, you can regain full control over your bitcoins using your
initial backup or pre-signed transactions sent by email.
Decentralized:-
This wallet connects to a
random server from a list. This means little trust in third parties is required
when verifying payments. However, it is not as secure as a full node like
Bitcoin Core.
Good transparency:-
The developers of this
wallet publish the source code for the client. This means any developer in the
world can audit the code. However, you still need to trust developers of this
wallet when installing or updating the final software because it was not built
deterministically like Bitcoin Core.
Two-factor authentication:-
This wallet can be used
from insecure environments. However, this service requires two-factor
authentication. This means access to multiple devices or accounts is required
to steal your bitcoins.
Basic privacy:-
Prevents spying on your payments:
This wallet makes it
harder to spy on your balance and payments by rotating addresses. You should
still take care to use a new Bitcoin address each time you request payment.
Discloses information to a third party:
This service can associate
your payments together, log your IP address and know your real identity if you
provide personal information like your email, name or banking account.
Tor not supported:
This wallet does not let
you use Tor to prevent attackers or Internet service providers from associating
your payments with your IP address.
