Is this only Gmail-to-Gmail? or between existing wallet customers? If you allow any email, then what about man-in-middle attack as the email might go over SMTP

If you allow any email, then what about man-in-middle attack as the email might go over SMTP/plain text?
- kivikakk 13y agoMoney doesn't actually fit into email, so that's not really an issue. It's all Google Wallet, so the transfer doesn't happen over email itself.
- mcherm 13y ago> Money doesn't actually fit into email Actually.... bitcoin.
- kivikakk 13y agoNo. The only way to 'send' bitcoins in email is sending the keys for the coins you still own; this (of course) is stupid, since you retain control, so it becomes a race to see which one of the people with the keys transfers them to an address they solely own first.
- duaneb 13y agoI suspect it is attached to the email symbolically only, and the money is transferred from google account to google account via some other route.
