You guys are making me nervous.

I keep a lot of cash in mtgox cause I keep hoping for a major crash lol.



Yeah me too! hehe But I prefer the dollars to sit and wait in my ordinary bank account. If that happens then I will send the money again to MtGox.

Now the BTC is so expensieve... it looks like really interesting for hackers to thief. Also since BTC is anonymous you can't sue or track the thief... to thief bit coins is a no-brainer, it's almost sure you won't go to jail! A friend of mine works as security auditor and I've learnt that no system is really safe, the only safe place for a server is under water and unplugged.

The private keys aren't even held on the gox servers. The worst a hacker could do is get hold of all the password hashes, which doesn't matter if you use 2 factor authentication.

The biggest weakness is a full blown raid of their office.


LOL - everybody should work remotely in unknown locations! Smiley
