You don't really own a bitcoin though. You can own a private key that corresponds to some bitcoins on the blockchain. There's no guarantee that you can move your bitcoins or do anything with them, and your ability to do so is entirely contingent on the mining cartel, so do you really own them?

Exactly correct. The cartel of 51% of the network controls all 100% of bitcoin. It's a dumb technology that will be exploited forever and ever.

This is called full stack development, if the front end and server side were different developers they would have checked. You get what you pay for I guess.

Let me see if i understand

If they went server side instead of client side...they could theotetically just withdraw rverything because it wouldnt check to see if you had anything????

I'll make an analogy as if this were an actual bank.

At a normal bank you go up to the teller and hand them your identifying information, such as an ID. The teller then verifies that information and asks how much money you'd like to withdraw from your account. You tell them and they hand you the money.

In this analogy you are the 'client side' code and the teller is the 'server side' code. The client side code generates the identifying token because obviously the server doesn't know who you are and then passes the information to the server. The server then verifies your identity and your balance then hands it back to you.

How they coded it in this case would be like you walking up to the bank and making a withdrawal- only the teller would just hand you whatever money you asked for because it was up to you to verify the amount of money in your account. Even if you didn't have any money left or even a negative balance they wouldn't stop you from withdrawing more.

When people say 'client side' code they mean code that's literally running on your own computer- not the server. They have no actual control over what happens on your machine. If you're a programmer or someone who knows how to fiddle with web browsers it's trivially easy to change the code on your machine to whatever you want. This is web services security 101 level stuff and the fact they screwed this up means they are either 'babies first web project' level amateurs or deliberately left the flaw so they could 'steal' the coins from themselves.

Lets put it in MMO terms cause most goons are super dorks and should understand them better.

If you are playing WoW, all your stats exist on Blizzard servers, instead of on your computer. This is because it makes it much harder to access you character file and edit in better gear, gold, or whatever you want. This is what it means to have your information stored server side. Now imagine if you were playing WoW, but all your character info was stored on your personal computer. In that case all you have to do is download a character editor and you can give yourself all the best gear and as much gold as you want. No one would actually raid because you could just hack in any gear you wanted. This is what it means to have your character saved client side.

Now imagine a bank. How dumb would it be to have your stats (how much money you had) to be stored client side. It would be pretty easy to hack your account file to say you had as much money as you wanted. This is exactly what this crypto service did, with exactly as expected results.
