So pretty much what happened is that somebody hacked into a bitcoin wallet service called Inputs.io. The hacker apparently used social engineering to change the password on the server, and got away with over $1 bitcoins. What do you guys think about this?
well.....that sucks, but.. its not even a "real" currency, only hard work and disappointment can come from this
I tend to agree, however if you can buy real things with it does that not make it real by default?
I consider it to be a currency.
I'd also like to point out that the hack wasn't a flaw in how Bitcoin works, it was a flaw in how the wallet service worked.
