Viewing a response to: @dana-edwards/mt-gox-coins-destination-has-been-located-on-the-blockchain-but-are-the-coins-accessible
I don't know about you guys, but that short little video just sent chills down my spine. Because of the fact that the government is recording everything we do in 'secret' and because now that it is known that the address is out there it has become a hacker treasure hunt. Its just a matter of time before hackers figure out the address (if they haven't yet) and then the game to break in is on! I don't want there to be a treasure hunt out there promoting the development of more sophisticated ways to attack blockchains! Although, its not impossible... [This White Paper](http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf) describes how and why its possible to attack just about any blockchain.

As a hacker and security guy, I can only say that doing research and "attacking" something is good. How else would you find out if something is broken? And if you don't find out somethng is not secure then the goventments and some even more nefarious entities will and they will abuse it without us knowing. Sure, we would live in a blissful ignorance ... but I'd rather be sure that I am protected as well as I can and that governments, companies, etc. can't spy on me too easily.

Its not about finding out if something is broken of living in blissful ignorance. There are many very talented developers working on the Bitcoin code and testing it for vulnerabilities all the time. **It's not an all or nothing contest** and we all want to be protected. I am saying I don't want a treasure a hacker treasure hunt out there because it promotes hackers and creates a competition. I would rather see those coins go back to their proper owners.

See, and there you are contraciting yourself. You would need a skilled hacker to do that. An altruistic /ethical one but still a hacker. And there will always be people trying to "get around the system" and make some quick buck, **Not sure what you mean about "creates a competition". Can you elaborate?** Also, from your perspective, wouldn't it be actually better if hackers focused on "defeating Alcatraz", basically something deemed undefeatable and waste their valuable time and resources on trying to break that rather than stealing from regular Joe's as me and you? I actually don't know :). But that's one side of the coin :). And there are always two.

The crypto space was all about transparency so naturally people would want to see what is happening under the hood.
