Electrum description is completely wrong and misleading

[ecdsa]

From the curent website, the description says:
"[...] it allows you to recover your wallet from an encrypted online backup"

I don't know who is to blame for that, and I don't want to look for it, but this is just plain wrong. Electrum is a deterministic wallet just like Armory, and nothing is stored online except in the blockchain.

Today I received this message in my forum inbox, from another developer:

Not saying it's voluntary at all; but if you create the official Bitcoin website you should do your research. Coincidentally I got a friend of a friend who just made the remark "Don't tell people you are using Electrum because they can hack you online.." perhaps the things are related.

I take the blame for it. I did do research for each of those wallets and asked many people to review. But it seems we all missed that one. Thanks for reporting.
