Alright, twice this week I’ve tried to pay a merchant who uses BitPay for their checkout, most recently being BitWarden…

Why the hell is it so complicated!?

They make you choose from dozens of shitcoin wallets, create an account, or some other nonsense with dysfunctional invoices and for whatever reason won’t just give me a simple address?

It’s not just me - multiple bitcointalk.org posts get into this. I tried the Electrum option because I like holding my own keys, and my wallet was out of date, so I downloaded directly from electrum.org/#download and even this application now has BitPay in the window name.

I can’t be the first to struggle with this. Any bitwarden users (or anyone who’s tried paying this way) have some advice?

/rant

GM btw.

Yes. Working on converting an old laptop to a startOS server this week, but needed to get started with a password manager first.

I’m assuming I should change the master PW and saved PWs when I transfer to the self hosted version though? If I want to be confident that no future compromise of their system would affect me..?

Or don’t transfer and start from scratch (and still update cloud-saved passwords)?

To clarify, Bitrequest does have a feature to allow wallet new wallet seed creation.

However, you will still need to utilize a third party wallet to access, and control funds.

True. We do not promote that method, but very true.

Yes. I changed my master password on my new selfhosted account and then imported everything from the cloud. Then swept through my "important" accounts to change those passwords.

Once you're set up, your new master password will secure your new vault, but for all the app passwords in the cloud already...unless bitwarden dot come is secure & honest in perpetuity, consider those apps at risk.

Thanks friend, that’s perfect/clear. Hopefully will get to make this happen this week/end 🫡
