The issue with BitCoin is storing the value for any period of time. If your private key becomes lost or corrupted, bye-bye BTC. <br /><br />The other sobering thought is what we recently saw with SSL. Again, it's not the math that's the problem, it's crappy implementation. In the case of Heartbleed, the whole issue was basically an implementation mistake that opened the door to a buffer overflow in the server heartbeat feature that caused the affected server to do a memory dump to the connected device. <br /><br />Those kinds of esoteric problems are the plague of all systems. It's also going to be binary scenario: perfectly safe, or leaky, with no way of knowing if the system's sprung a leak with your vital data, until it's too late.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-87645700089770944392014-04-26T11:59:13.693-04:002014-04-26T11:59:13.693-04:00I fitting end to my Vespa decade.

I too am fascinated by the whole bitcoin methodology but am still having difficulty separating it from the latest ponzi scheme. I know it isn't but I expect that the early adopters (not me) will have made out like bandits while the rest of us lose our shirts as the market bounces around - likely more down than up. If I wanted that kind of stress I'd be investing in penny mining stocks - which I don't do any more either.. Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.com
