Is wallet like Electrum which has multi-servers secure enough?
I would just get a SPV client instead of a centralized sever client. It is just too easily taken down.

Who do you think were most instrumental to the rise of bitcoin in the first couple of years, both technically and socially?
Great question. I can say this no one did both and if they did both they failed at it. I would say Charlie Sherm did a lot socially, also Erik Voorhees and Roger Ver. Technically I would say Gavin. It is hard to advance a currency technically cause you don't want to add features that can move it forward without having it very stable. Once bitcoin becomes really stable (1.0+), you will see a lot more technical features coming, that when it will be advanced forward technology wise.
I'd have to agree, and would also add Amir Taaki and Lazlo to the list - Amir did a lot of evangelism of course, and Lazlo GPU'd and Pizza'd bitcoin forward. Chris Odom (fellow traveller of opentransactions) probably deserves a mention too.
It certainly is very early days, and bitcoin is just the start as we know.. blockchain is the major innovation, which thankfully some people like Vitalik have managed to grok and build on (ethereum).
Looking forward to seeing how the crypto space shapes up over the next 5 years of maturity.
Another question, any notable related projects on your radar that you'd like to share (not altcoins, but certainly [crypto/chain/autonomous corp] related)?
Amir was great in the early years now it is off the deep end with his anti-government, anarchy stuff which doesn't attract new people.
Lazlo help set up the price! Since it was easier to mine for bitcoins then actually buy them.
Chris does deserve a mention, I am not really too involved but I seen OpenTransactions is coming along nicely has what appears to be a good start on a gui.
I think it is too early for things like Ethereum, I feel like that will be one big security hole, plus Charles really has never done things like this, and it could prove to be a failure point.
On my radar are things like Hive wallet, I think that is going to be the beginning of easy social wallets, I use it to send bitcons to my friends very easily. I think we will see a race in the enterprise section of nodes. I am a very technical backend person so that is basis stuff since it is what interest me in bitcoins.
Can you answer this one? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/uploading-virus-signature-to-the-blockchain-470326
Actually only node txindex=1 will keep that. I am pretty it will get pruned out of most bitcoind nodes.

I am waiting for a very long test to complete for a new service I am building. So while I wait ask away.
P.S. Don't ask about new service.
