Them cyber-hacker types are really loving this whole bitcoin invention, it seems.

[ReCat]

No. The online-wallet invention. Online wallets were a bad idea to begin with. Bitcoins were not. The fault is not in bitcoin, the fault is in our dumb ideas.

Hell, I've been saying that for months and people were all "Stop trolling pls"

There is need for online wallet services. The problem is improper implementation. VPS, colocation and so on are bad. If You have no physical control over hardware, you have no real control over it. Linode with backdoor access, MtGox with audit login leak and so on. Learn to assemble server hardware and then put the server software on it.

I learned not to trust online wallets even pocket change. Instawallet teached that to me.
