I'll leave alone all of the comments which imply I don't know what I'm talking about and that I'm not very smart, suffice to say you don't need crazy secret sharing systems or bank deposit boxes or anything of the sort to prevent this attack.

A dead-simple soft-wallet, which requires about 2 steps to setup and 2 more to transfer and hold your millions of dollars in, would have prevented this. Roughly 15 minutes of time, at most.

You don't need to be the NSA to secure your crypto, as you seem to be implying.



> You don't need to be the NSA to secure your crypto, as you seem to be implying.

I said that people keep their funds hot to use them, not that you need to be the NSA to secure them.

Trust me, I know how to set up a crypto wallet and secure it.


The more important part of my comment was the "15 minutes tops to completely prevent this attack", but okay. (The reverse, getting your money back on the exchange, is even shorter! Maybe 2 minutes and a few clicks.)

>Trust me

No thanks.


While you may disagree with what PragmaticPulp had to say, the tone of this last comment is unnecessarily hostile.


They make several comments alluding to the fact that I am dumb and have no idea what I'm talking about, ignores every important bit of my comments, then concludes with "trust me", and I'm hostile for saying "no thanks"?

My apologies, I guess.
