It seems there is one huge vulnerability (not direct, but indirect) that could cause us a lot of harm if it were to be exploited, and I'm wondering if that is one of your highest priorities. I'm referring to second layer centralization and lack of transparency. We're seeing more and more talk about this every day, and I wonder what the hackers are making of it (there's some pretty big money involved). When going over the long list of HIVE successes, and relishing the incredible HiveFest just celebrated, it would be horrible if we were to experience a public relations debacle due to this huge vulnerability going unaddressed. A high priority response doesn't necessarily have to be immediate coding, even if it is ultimately the necessary end-all; it could be something as simple as 'getting started', maybe with an awareness campaign, which could also motivate the 2nd layer devs to get on the ball as well (warning banners, for example). Anyhow, I know you're aware of this, but since it's pretty major, it's a concern I wanted to be sure to share with you in any event, you know, just in case, and FWIW. ;-) Below just couple of recent posts:
