Will ethereum accounts be secure from day 1? to reassure early investors. two-factor authentication?

The Ethereum reference wallet will be far more secure than QT from day 1 (launch of mining). We will have it pen tested thoroughly and even take it to DEFCON next year with a big treasure pot (you hack it; you own it). On a personal note, Bitcoin theft or loss really makes me sad and also I believe is a significant roadblock for mainstream adoption. Mainstream consumers need better security and more tools to protect themselves from themselves.

Thanks Charles. I will participate in the Ethereum fund raising. As a non-miner, would my 2000 Eth per btc be deposited/maintained in a secure wallet? or perhaps you have other plans on how Ethereum ownership is accounted for during the pre-mine pre-wallet period?
