After the whole debacle at MtGox, we at DoubleCoin realized that security was of the upmost importance. So, it is with some sadness that we have to announce that the DoubleCoin Vault has been compromised, and someone has meddled with the coins, despite the fact that it says very clearly “Don’t touch” right there on the Vault, with an exclamation point and asterisks on each side.

I’m not sure if it was my wife, or the repair guy who fixed our bathroom light. It might have been him, because whoever did it left a lightbulb right next to the Vault. Or it could have been my wife, since she gave me a pretty suspicious scowl when I showed her the Vault this afternoon and said, “Remember, don’t touch.” I was careful not to say it with the intonation of the exclamation point, but she could clearly see the exclamation point and the asterisks right there on the Vault, so she knew it was serious.

We haven’t had a chance to count all the funds yet, so we’re not sure if anything is missing. It is possible the Vault was just meddled with, and the piles of coins disturbed, but no funds were actually taken.

Regardless, all owners of DoubleCoins should know that there investment is totally safe and secure, because DoubleCoins are a made up entity, worth almost nothing to begin with, and only exist on the public ledger, so there is no way for anyone to steal them. Even if all the computers in the world went dead tomorrow, we could figure out who owned what, since only like five people in the world DoubleCoins.
