Weird he cheaped up on servers paying 55 a month to some random vps provider.

  And even after being hacked once due to !!! physical access to the servers !!! he was still looking for an "accessible" dedicated server instead of a trusted service or self hosting somewhere he could keep safe. He had more than 200 bitcoins. People are weird.

    > once due to !!! physical access to the servers !!! That was his inept deduction that was basically "well, I don't know how they got in so it must be hosting provider"

  > some random vps provider. devil's advocate: is DigitalOcean in this category?

    vps provider, yes. Random, less so, since they're on the nyse.

  How do you spend $55/month on a VPS? Isn't that the amount you spend on a reasonably popular application host? He obviously is more of a software developer than an sysadmin, so maybe it's just a poorly optimized personal app host.
