This is awesome news! Of all the selling points for BitShares, security would not have made my 'Top 5 reasons BitShares is unstoppable', and yet security is evidently a major concern that is drawing entrepreneurs to this chain (see quote below from press release). Nicely done, everyone, and especially to the developers who have worked so hard to make this technology rock solid.

Some of the biggest digital currency exchanges have been hacked and the rest are looking over their shoulders says Banx Capital CEO and Founder Mark Lyford. BitShares is offering their SmartChain as a safe, level playing field for use by the whole industry. It can serve as backbone network to all the exchanges as a way for them to trade with and against each other. With shared order books we will have deeper markets, tighter spreads, and greater liquidity. And since our customers keep their own keys while trading on this network, combined with hierarchical multi-sig capabilities we cant get hacked, and our customers cant get hacked.
