As the Board’s chairman, he appointed Roger Ver, prominent bitcoin angel investor, owner of bitcoin.com and bitcoin donator. The first member of the Board became Erik Voorhees, founder and CEO of the bitcoin and altcoin exchange ShapeShift.io, who has been previously involved in a variety of bitcoin projects.

Nice.

Make sure you crack the blockchain so you can find the best ways to keep it from being cracked.

Well, this was expected. My email software is protected but my BTC client is more important.
I wonder how long it will take for all security software to include some kind of protection dedicated to cryptocurrencies.

This new version of cryptosecurity has been long awaited by the bitcoin community.  Due to the prevalence of bitcoin accounts being hacked many users have been hoping that a security protocol like this will ostentate.

This John McAfee guy is a complete fraud, and no one should believe him. In the Apple vs FBI fight for de-encryption, he sided with the FBI, and even offered to unlock the Apple encryption. His anti-virus software is known to spy on the users. Also, he is having shady business deals in Costa Rica, and is closely associated with the bing bankers.

But he's just so fucking cool man. Like sipping a milkshake in a snowstorm.

In retrospect, this might have been very useful during the DAO saga.

Although I don't quite understand what security for a coin is however. Review of the code for exploits? Ddos protection?

I will say because of cryptos, basic user security protocols will go up. You have to learn a few things about online security, if you plan to hold any digital currency.

To see is to believe so I think posting the source where you get the information is a good way to prove your and support your claim. Although Im a bit doubtful in McAfee too. I never tried their service because I'm already happy with Norton.
