Title: GLBSE Security Post by: Anth0n on June 04, 2011, 04:27:52 PM Suppose I set up GLBSE in a virtual machine and buy some shares of a company. Is there anything stopping me from buying shares, copying the virtual machine 100 times, and selling the shares on all of the VMs? My guess is that each user is assigned a value to prevent this, but I just want to be sure.
