With using the Nano 5 wallet, I understand you have to be online in order for the wallet in Chrome to generate a public key to receive Bitcoin. I've used paper wallets in the past and I've made sure that when generating a public and private key, that I've been offline so no-one can access the private key. If I'm online when using the nano 5, for generating a public key, can someone somehow get access to the related private key? Isn't having to go online to the Chrome app for the Bitcoin wallet a bit like accessing a hot wallet which I thought had security implications? Cheers
Nothing is safe when you are online. Of course your computer has to be corrupted in order for people to gain info from you. Keep you comp clean and be careful of the site you use and what you download and you have less risk of being hacked than you do of being robbed at the ATM>
