I find it funny that you pose the problem and give the solution in such close proximity. (In case you miss my meaning, the solution is to trust large wallets with third party companies that insure their holdings and guarantee your money even if they are successfully attacked)
- alexeisadeski3 13y ago@ceejay, The FDIC isn't really relevant here ー it doesn't really insure against theft or bank error. But banks have other insurance which does precisely that.
- ceejayoz 13y agoI don't see the FDIC picking up the tab on lost wallets any time soon.
