How can you reimburse that much? Have you really made that much profit?
Yes, our historical profit is fairly sufficient to cover the loss from this incident, and we believe that it's the best interest for the community to keep running the business. We will take appropriate strategies and implement more security features to prevent this from happening ever again, even with the presence of dishonest partners or employees. this is hard to believe. It takes MtGox around 2 months to earn that much and their volume is way larger then yours. I am wondering why somemany bitcoin people used that hoster. There are thousands of hoster. Bitcoinica is leveraged as compared to MtGox. I have a lot of respect for you, ZT. |

We are developing a customized Bitcoin client for sever use, with hard-coded security designed specifically for web apps.
That's what I'm talking about! Fighting back like Rockie already. |

Wow that's one heck of an attack. Terribly sorry to hear about the loss but hopefully you can recouperate in some way with the company or community.
Is Linode like a version of Linux or server software, or just a hosting company such as 1&1, Dreamhost, GoDaddy etc.? I suppose whether it is Windows, Linux, or Mac, if someone knows what they are doing it doesn't matter what software runs the wallet. A user could get to the right files if they know.
Looks like Linode is just a hosting company. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinodeI heard from Slush's thread that the Super Admin at Linode can login to any of the virtual server/websites, including Slush's mining pool and Bitcoinica. I think MtGox should take note... possibly migrate to a non-US server?? I bet there's a team of people, be it insider or outsider, poppin' toasting champagne right now, as this is a concerted effort to bring down bitcoins. |

Thanks Bitcoinica for keeping cool and maintain your integrity.
But, wtf @ Linode?!!! Where's that Vice President?!!! We need him to get on the forum ASAP!!!!!! This has to be an inside/co-ordinated job. All these happened at the same time.

Thank you Slush for being so man-up about the situation. Also, I think Linode should be responsible for a portion of the lost. We should send Linode this thread. Definitely "Rogue Employee" come to mind at Linode.

I wonder how successful these phising emails are, giving the btc community is a lot more tech savvy.

Hi Bitcoinmint, it looks like Coinabul has a cheaper shipping rate. My quote was 9.4 BTC with Coinabul, whereas, at BitcoinMint, the shipping is close to 23BTC.
Can you double check? I would prefer to get some silver from you since you are so responsive.
