Title: What is the PIN #?
Post by: guolan on January 07, 2013, 02:30 am
I have figured out how to get BitCoins credited to my SilkRoad eWallet, so now I think I'm ready to shop. i place an order into my cart. At checkout, I'm ask to enter the address to have it shipped to.so I include the shipping address, but then a PIN box, below the Message/address box. Wants a PIN code/number. What PIN is it wanting? I don't remember ever setting up a pin.......   ;~{
Thanks!!!

Is it a 4 digit PIN, like for a bank ATM?

Are there any plans to change the name from "PIN" to something like "Transaction Passphrase" or something that indicates it can be a long complex password?

I ask this because when I first set up my PIN I thought it had to be like a 4-digit PIN. Then when I made my first purchase I figured out what it was really for and that I needed to (and could) change it to something MUCH MORE SECURE than a 4-digit number.

I like that idea.

Back in the day, SR didn't even have PINs, so at least we are constantly evolving in regards to security (however slow it may be)
