Will Gemini’s New Crypto Key Storage System Prevent Double-Spend Cyber Attacks?

Colleagues, co-founders of the Gemini crypto exchange Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss have been granted a patent for “Systems and methods for storing digital math-based assets using a secure portal”. Digital asset ledgers will be used to protect users from “double-spend” cyber-attacks. Unlike traditional paper currencies, cryptocurrencies have the potential to be copied and rebroadcasted. This leads to the opportunity for nefarious cyber criminals to spend the same cryptocurrency twice. Multiply this type of transaction known as “double-spend” by 100s of thousands of transactions and the value of crypto jacking easily runs into the millions of USD. Bottom line: How effective will the new crypto key storage system be in preventing illicit “double-spend”? Our readers along with the global crypto ecosystem will not know the answer until this system is designed, developed and battle tested in the real world. Yes, we will be tracking this matter closely. Send us your thoughts today! Lawrence – Cryptocurrency Academy (https://cryptocurrencyacademy.blogspot.com/)
