Stop Using Blockfolio App - Its Calling Home with Too Much Info (+Small Safety Tutorial)

I assumed this was how they were making money, using trade data. I still feel it's a useful app, just be cautious about putting buy and sell info into it.

Yeah, knowing this is only gonna stop me from updating my amounts. I still love the app.

The data provided to them is completely unreliable, anyone could enter $100m in some random coin and completely skew the data. The data is also after trades have been completed, this sort of data would be fairly hard to game.

I agree. I wouldn't necessarily let it worry me. But to be cautious, don't input all details on your blockfolio app. For example, I don't change what exchange I use to what's on my blockfolio that way there is less tracking, in a sense.
