When I saw the news about Jaxx earlier, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. I only got involved with BTC a week or so ago. I quickly found Jaxx and liked its cross-platform capabilities. But then the MacOS version lost the ability to refresh its status and refused to update the values.
While the iOS version continued to function well, I decided that I couldn't really trust my funds to a networked product that couldn't even handle the simplest of network tasks.
I posted a support ticket with Jaxx and then immediately moved my funds to a (hopefully) more secure wallet.
Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful article. Some very good points there, especially for us noobs.
