<p>Bitlotto: add link</p> <hr /> <div>==Name==<br /> Shouldn't this be moved to something like [[Browser-based_wallet]] instead? EWallet is presumably short for &quot;electronic wallet&quot;, which doesn't really mean the same thing as a wallet on a third-party website. I mean, your wallet.dat file is just as &quot;electronic&quot; as MyBitcoin.
