So far, we have no evidence of how secure it might be. Does anyone even know the person(s) behind it? I wouldn't trust it with a single cent until I know better what kind of security to expect, and whose reputation is at stake.
And no, reputable members promoting it isn't good enough. I want to hear from the actual owners.

One of zhoutong's last posts was to the effect that database recovery is easier than they thought it would be. I'm guessing there is a recent backup to be had, but I don't know. Perhaps you should calm down and have a tad bit more patience.

So how about starting a wiki on the framework for recoverable and resilient systems? For instance, binlogging to an encrypted disk on a server in a different datacenter, because that would fix issues with deleted databases. And HSM devices or some equivalent for storing private keys. And daily and hourly backups to systems outside of the core network. Encrypted of course.
What other ideas do people have?
Reason there isn't a consolidated resource is because people and companies make a lot of money in the computer security sector. You can find a lot of good information piecemeal but the "how" of putting it all together has extra value from the hoarding of that knowledge. Very true. And, the "how" often changes so rapidly that maintaining a comprehensive resource on it is not workable. What I want to see is a list of minimum standards that should be expected from businesses dealing with our money. Simply a framework of technologies that you have to stir together in the right proportions, and a list of potential consequences of omitting one or more of them. You are describing financial regulations, for that you should deal with financially regulated companies. I personally have no wish to see BTC taken over by any government's financial framework. It's a tough problem, imo this is a great opportunity to see if open sourcing security completely would actually be effective. If the whole process is completely transparent then people can decide for themselves whether to use a BTC service. Not even government based, but just a wiki somewhere. Many of the FIPS-140-2 guidelines are extremely applicable though. |

I'm not sure that I would touch solar until its cost efficiency goes way up. Current panel designs are expensive and inefficient, and that doesn't look like it is changing a lot any time soon.

So, you just admitted on shopping at Silk Road... You better watch the feds, you moron!
In fact I'll even go as far as saying you are the operator of Silk Road.
How do I know? Because you distribute money to people who are stupid enough to fall for scams.
Oh, wait: Nobody needs to worry, when Pirate runs aways with everyones money, Raize will still be here to cover our losses and pursue Pirate on the courts to recover his money, like he so much likes to boast about doing every time he bails out someone.
Hmm, that would be an interesting position to be in - he could be the debt collector because he knows everyone's SR shopping habits, and could use that for blackmail....  |

at 0.1$/kWh you can buy 2 500 000 kWh at 250 000$ or enough for running those BFL mini rigs 50 years. I bet the solar panels is dead way before 2062.
If you promise use wall power instead of solar your project actually looks good.
Solar sucks, but I think he is looking at wind power, not solar. And, an additional revenue stream from selling the wind power to the grid. |
