Title: Tips on securing Bitcoind server? Post by: bkc888 on September 15, 2013, 03:33:24 PM Hi All,
I am playing around with creating a bitcoin exchange. Just wondering if anyone have any tips on securing my bitcoinD server? Any tips will be welcomed. Thanks!

Given that the hypervizor has access to basically everything on the VM why on earth would I ever run a wallet on someone else's virtualization layer? Title: Re: Tips on securing Bitcoind server?

For the same reason people use banks instead of stashing their savings under a mattress. If you're willing to place a little trust in a service to use as the hot wallet (keeping most coins in coin storage), there could other benefits such as: * speed of deployment * easy scaling * easier interface/api to interact with |
