update on my xrp wallet project

[Ralphadayus]

So I've been slowly improving and adding things to this project.... Made it a little prettier. Got my SSL cert finally. Displayed timestamps and sequence numbers on payment transactions. And added a "generate address" function... next up will probably be adding the escrow function so you can put xrp in escrow... Let me know what you guys think!   http://www.codezerp.com

Looks good. Do you have s GitHub repo? I wouldn't like to test it (entering my private key) without first seeing the code.

I'm also about to start experimenting with writing some apps that utilise blockchain tech and the first step is some wallet controls like you've built to get familiar with the basics. 

I work in insurance so ultimately want to create an app to trial smart contracts. 

I was thinking of finding my feet with bitcoin to start with then moving on to XRP which if a much more complex beast. Do you have a background in other crypto or did you dive straight in with XRP?

"Enter your private key"

Ehm.. not sure what you're aiming for with your website. Playing with the code is great for your experience, but if you're aiming at people using your service, asking them to enter a private key on a website should never be done.

The same accounts for generating addresses / keypairs online, as (for example you) can eavesdrop on that and have acces to the funds afterwards. Such functions should be done in an offline environment.

I do have a repo. I went straight into xrp. It's just JS written off the xrp dev portal site info interacting with the api. Pretty easy.

I'm not really aiming it at anybody. I'm using it to sharpen my JS skills and trying out the xrpdevportal's ripple api tutorials. It's just a fun project that enjoy doing in my spare time. I'm going to be looking into making it more secure/trustworthy in the future but right now I'm just working through the blocks of code and figuring out what's what. I do know that you can sign transactions and generate key pairs offline... but haven't looked into it thoroughly. I'm an electrician by trade with 3 kids lol. Only so much spare time in a day ha!
