Exactly as mralbi said, the priority right now is to make sure the server on which the site's hosted is secure. For this I also need to make sure my computer is secure, as this was the previous attack vector. The work on the server itself is mostly done now, and now I'm double checking that no one can steal my credentials or even if he does, that he can't access the server from a untrusted location.
Not at all. He probably would have gambled on bitcoinica even if the 0.5% fee had already been in place.
Saying "what would happen if..." always leads to nothing. But if Bitmarket were earning money, then it would end up being worked on full time not only by me, but also by Mahkul (the co-founder). That would eliminate the risk of moving the offline coins where they not should be, because they would be monitored by more than one person.
I'm not trying to excuse myself here, just making a point.
