so how does it work exactly...the exchange keeps all btw on keys it signs offial message with or other message you can verify.
Anyway of gambling can be made provable with btw why not an exchange.
Just the fact that you have provable gambeling with BTC is going to kill most casino other gambling.

No protocol extension is needed for this. The problem with relying on this methodology is let's say an exchange doesn't actually have your funds. What are you going to do now? You are still going to get Goxed.
Much smaller goxxings, much earlier in the game => good

I read recently (if not hoax) that Gav or Greg was suggesting a protocol addition so that you could prove and exchange has all the BTC it says it has.
Bitcoin already has this capability, and has had it since the very beginning. No protocol additions required.
The reason it isn't being used has nothing to do with technology.

The method does achieve what it claims. An honest exchange can prove that it is honest.It doesn't protect you from a dishonest exchange, but that technology isn't ready yet.

Without something like this, I think all exchanges will yield to the temptation to fractional practice, by design or fault.
With it, it would make the btc side one of the safer ways to invest....with any entity as you can check at any tie their claims as to reserves.

A tool like this, whether a protocol extension or not, would allow customers to audit the exchange against the blockchain in real time. At least customers would be able to see the problem before it becomes a crisis (before 750,000 btc go missing).
