The famous twins, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, have filed for a new patent in storing virtual assets in a secure manner.
The Winklevoss IP, LLC patent, named “Systems and methods for storing digital math-based assets using a secure portal,” this includes a new method which allows the division of a virtual asset account “into a plurality or private key segments”.
The patent continues and goes onto state:
“Private keys for a multi signature account may be stored as backups, e.g., in secure storage which may be difficult to access, and may be used in the event that more readily obtainable keys are lost.”
According to new reports, those investors who lost assets during the infamous Mt. Gox hacks are now eligible to file rehabilitation claims against the exchange. We should note that within rehabilitation claims, the debtor (Mt. Gox) still holds the power to administer and dispose of assets, although a trustee will be appointed to oversee this. In the instance of Mt. Gox, the trustee is Nobuaki Kobayashi, as appointed by the Tokyo District Court.
