It is unrecommend to to use “Light wallets” such as MyMonero and Edge > > > I'm creating this issue to get some discussion and input on significant revision…s to the light wallet section on the getmonero downloads page. > > 1. Remove any wallets that don't support self-hosted light wallet servers. The higher the % of Monero users using hosted light wallet servers, the worse privacy becomes for ALL users of Monero. Any wallet that doesn't safely support the use of a self-hosted Light Wallet Server (any server that follows the Light Wallet API spec) should not be recommended. > > 2. Add more clarity to the privacy dangers of using the default 'hosted' light wallet server in these wallets. It's not just that your privacy can be 'lessened'. It's that all of your past, current and future incoming transactions tied to that view key will be recorded and saved, even if you decide to stop using the wallet. Usage of the default behavior of that wallet lowers the privacy of all users of Monero, and additionally, significant information around a spend (not the spend amount itself) is leaked when using Light Wallets with a server out of your control. MyMonero haven’t updated their desktop apps and mobile apps for more than 2 years, leaving many security vulnerabilities unpatched.
