Bitcoin insurance is 'world's first'

[size=12pt]Bitcoins stored online have been subject to several raids by hackers[/size]

                                             

                                   

A Bitcoin storage service that insures deposits of the digital currency against loss and theft

has launched in London.
Elliptic Vault uses "deep cold storage", where private encrypted keys to bitcoins are stored on

offline servers and in a secure location.

The facility's founders say they are the "first in the world" to offer insurance for Bitcoin owners. 8)

There was a breakthrough for the currency in the US, however, where Overstock.com

became one of the first major online retailers to accept Bitcoin on Thursday.

Singapore has become one of the first countries to issue guidance on taxation :

for Bitcoin businesses !

Is it me or things have been pretty quiet on that front since the Chinese thing and the crash? Anyway, you can't deal with something virtual that explodes like that and not expect hackers and all sorts of shady individuals to be wanting to take your sweet sweet precious coins, which are kinda useless anyway.
