(To bad the cut about half of the reportage that was shown on tv)
They didn't, here is the remainder of the story: http://www.deredactie.be/permalink/2.27543?video=1.1589115Excellent interview by the way, Jo Caudron did this perfectly. Bitcoin was well explained with attention for the decentralized, p2p nature of the system and the fact that supply is limited. It was mentioned that although it is unlikely many people on Cyprus are using it, Bitcoin creates whole new possibilities of making secure, fast and anonymous transactions around the world. Good that was the best part, it wasn't up when I posted so added it to top as well. |

If they keep ignoring you there is only one way, give them a ultimatum. Tell them to fix the problem within a set time frame if they don't respond or fix the problem you will share the info with the public. Put this ultimatum up in a public place, name them and wait for response ... if they don't fix it or ignore you disclose the info. If they sew you have the right to inform people about possible threads to there well being. (unless you had to break it to there systems to get the info) speaking from experience it usually doesn't get that far  |

The question is "Is Bitcoin ready for the world?"
At the moment, the answer is no.
I, too, am very worried about what problems Bitcoin will have once the tx volume ratchets up from "insignificant" to "trickle". There's no way in hell it can be used in its current state for general commerce at any reasonable scale. (I had a someone at work tell me he was good at making websites scale because he made one that could handle a million hits a month. "Dude... that's barely one request a second, if you're only doing 8hr days. Real scalability is orders of magnitude past that.") We can speculate all day long, but in the end, only time will tell... And looking at the speed of development (or lack there of) it will never be. Bitcoin became to big to fast and now vested interest and "religion' keep it stuck. The protocol is beta and over the last year or two I started to question the possibility of it ever leaving that status behind. On other hand love the pic, it shows people are willing to accept change |

A european warehouse would be nice indeed 24% vat in my neck of the woods.
An European warehouse would not solve the 24% VAT problem, in fact it would only guarantee that you pay it. The only reason I (and most eu businesses) will not buy hardware from outside of eu zone is because in most cases I (they) can't deduct the 'vat' added by customs from my (there) vat account. An eu front would definitely add b2b possibilities within eu zone to the store. |

Interesting, definitely some classes in there that can save me some time and trouble. license ?

$ 36 / year (+25% vat if you wish to stay anonymous or you are inside eu and do not own valid vat number)
inc dns servers or you can use your own ...
or pick one of other 150+ extensions available,
cheapest domains atm '.com.es', '.org.es' for $ 2.50 (+vat)

Well it is public and private key encryption this is the bread and butter of SSL and TLS. So yes is extremely secure.
it is posible but lets take that idea one step further ? The issue with ssl is that you need to send public key from a server to the client. Having these key's stored in a block chain would make the whole system a lot more secure sins it would become nearly impossible for a man in the middle to send false key's to a client that checks a block chain for valid keys. At the same time it would would eliminate the all powerful CA's that have been know to hide and/or deny hacks and leaked private key's. Yes / No ? If only I had time/knowledge to implement something like that ... but a man can dream right. |

"15 GB of bandwidth out aggregated across all AWS services*"
= win
Until a DDoS hits you and your bandwidth consumption goes up to 100 GB a day or more ... Or 200 GB a day....! It's a free start, which might help OP seeing has they didn't specify bandwidth requirements. He is asking for a CDN usually part of the reasons (if not the main reason) to go for CDN is DDoS protection. Wrong. That's not the main use case, or even his stated reason, to use a CDN. It's to speed up content delivery by having multiple edge locations nearer your end users than you could afford to yourself. The Anycast DNS / HTTP that usually accompanies helps with localized DDoS attacks. But anyway; meh. Ah right, I forgot about the 80's definition of a CDN, mhe time warp ... |

CDN is not the problem, most banks I know have there own 'Secure' CDN implementation. However CloudFlare and others are not secure, they ether replace your ssl certificate or require your private ssl key to work. (aka they can read and alter content)
I am considering just posting a direct SSL cert for BitFunder on cloudflares system. This way they will not have the private key, and there is no question that the data encrypted end to end.  What are your thoughts on this? Last time I checked there custom cert options required a cert with private key on there servers, if they changed that good for them. If your sure the encryption is 100% end-to-end it should be fine, I still dislike and avoid supporting them sins they offer insecure services as well. |

gj, but seriously cloudflare ? *sigh*
Yes, unfortunately bitcoin has attracted many script kiddies who are very capable of multi-gigabit attacks. What problems have you had with CloudFlare? I use it on many projects, even have 150Gh+ mining pool passing through it with no known problems. Actually "mining" through it. It's 'The Man' in the middle ... They break the most fundamental principle of the internet, that is supposed to be 'end-to-end' for privacy, security and stability. From technical point of view nothing that comes out of CloudFlare can be trusted unless you trust them as a centralized entity. It's the perfect solution to a problem but at what 'cost' ? (not talking about money here) There are other solution unfortunately at this point in time they are not that cost effective. (money wise) Ahh, you can apply that to most any major website you visit these days. Almost all use a CDN service of some brand or another. Banks do it, facebook, etc. What ? Did I just hear lemmings run by ? (sorry could not resist that line) CDN is not the problem, most banks I know have there own 'Secure' CDN implementation. However CloudFlare and others are not secure, they ether replace your ssl certificate or require your private ssl key to work. (aka they can read and alter content) As to heavy attacks a good firewall around CDN exit nodes does wonders (personally I pay for support in that department), next step would be to dynamically bind your firewall, dos detection with your name servers to create black holes for unwanted traffic and/or relay legit users to open nodes. (or use cisco to solve that if your in to them) I’ll leave it at that, all I really meant to say was "Sad to see a other bitcoin related website go for the easy way out and good job, looks like a solid start." Edit: ------ Having a big mouth without offering a solution is easy so let me just link.
