Title: Re: Bitcoin-Central compromised. Hundreds of BTC stolen. Post by: ReCat on April 24, 2013, 10:17:12 PM No. The online-wallet invention. Online wallets were a bad idea to begin with. Bitcoins were not. The fault is not in bitcoin, the fault is in our dumb ideas.

Hell, I've been saying that for months and people were all "Stop trolling pls" Title: Re: Bitcoin-Central compromised. Hundreds of BTC stolen. Post by: MysteryMiner on April 24, 2013, 11:09:00 PM There is need for online wallet services. The problem is improper implementation. VPS, colocation and so on are bad. If You have no physical control over hardware, you have no real control over it. Linode with backdoor access, MtGox with audit login leak and so on. Learn to assemble server hardware and then put the server software on it.
I learned not to trust online wallets even pocket change. Instawallet teached that to me. Title: Re: Bitcoin-Central compromised. Hundreds of BTC stolen.
