With Digibyte coming up with its own exchange, i do hope they have employed and implemented many or all of the security features to ensure the safety of every user's DGB, as well as the integrity of Digibyte's servers that the exchange's data is on. Just recently, bter and 2 other lesser known exchanges got hacked. Before this, many exchanges like bitstamp and mtgox and some of which i don't really know got hacked as well.
Whether its 2FA or using SMS or using email to authenticate one's login or for withdrawal of coins, i really really do hope that the Digibyte Team nail this. If they do, Digibyte will instantly soar to the skies as one of the MOST SAFEST to invest in and to use. And then other exchanges can learn a thing or two from Digibyte's Safety Standards. Just like how Digishield got used by other coins.
On a side note for us users, I think its high time that users LEARN to use 2FA. i mean, we are all in this for the long haul and investors are looking to make thousands or turn 3 digits into 5-6 digits. people out there are working their ass off to bring in the BIG Moolah [money] while we are putting in so LITTLE effort to get it. is it so difficult to put in just a bit more effort into ensuring the safety of our coins on our own ends? At least the only thing we have to worry about is the servers' end, which i do hope Digibyte will address it.
One way to completely eliminate the problems on the users' end is for Digibyte to make it an obligation for users to enable 2FA or SMS. Well, if anybody wants to use a crypto-currency, we better have a mobile phone if not a smartphone. if 3rd world people can have one, you better have one too. We shouldn't give security an option to users. its a MUST despite the extra steps and the hassle. But anyway, im sure majority of us want our coins to be secured and not lost or stolen after knowing about all these hacking cases. and its not 1 or 2 or a few. how many BTC have been lost and how many people have been affected so far ever since mtgox? lots...
Although we can never be 100% Safe as i too understand that, at least make it difficult for the hackers and cover all loopholes and gaps. have backups and some kind of contingency plans if anything happens or if the worst happens.
I am sure DigiMan's armor isn't for show.
Make Security our No.1 Priority. Looking to make LOTS, you better have a LOCK!
Nobody commonly have $10 000 or $1000 or $500 cash in their wallets [physical wallet] except in storage...well, for the average low/middle-income citizens that is.
