I am not trusting any crypto-currency site anymore unless they have an active pen-test team employed.
We know good security is difficult but this is getting ridiculous - it has to be a priority.
- arethuza 13y agoAnd how do you trust the penetration test team? Honestly, I'm not a security expert and I've seen a few penetration/security audit reports that seemed pretty worthless to me.
- jnbiche 13y agoNo, don't worry about pen tests. Just don't store your Bitcoins in someone else's control, like an online wallet. This really isn't that hard. The only time you should be exposed to any sort of counterparty risk in Bitcoin is when you buy or sell them. And if you use a reputable service like Coinbase or Bitstamp, and only keep your Bitcoins on that site for the few minutes it takes to buy, sell, and transfer them, your risk should be miniscule.
