Get it independently audited by a security expert, and publish the report Smiley

I mean that in all seriousness. Every one claims their wallet is super-secure, history proves otherwise in many cases ...

This is excellent advice :-)

I'm the creator of BitGo, so I know I am biased.  For what it is worth, we've already done a full external security audit (expensive!) of the software both client and server side.  The operational engineering that has gone into BitGo is also atypical and has been designed from the ground up for bitcoin security.  We'll be doing another audit in the not-too-distant future.  Peer reviews and security reviews are absolutely essential.

I would never be so foolish as to claim that anything is impervious.  But the concepts that we've pioneered in the BitGo architecture have held up to scrutiny so far.  Hopefully these concepts are just a better starting point for anyone building a new wallet going forward.

We love feedback, we know we're not perfect, and we will take seriously any potential exploits or vulnerabilities.  Don't hesitate to reach out to me personally if you have any issues.

That sounds excellent Mike, great response Smiley

My only other "advise" is that you should publish any company details about yourself. There are so many "one-man ops" in bitcoinland, some aren't even registered companies. The more you share about yourself, the more trust you engender.
