For the Reddit Tip Bot?

The honest answer is that I don't know, because I don't know how much money the reddit tipbot handles or how long the money stays vulnerable to a potential bug in the software. This is criteria I suggest:

> for any piece of software from which it's possible to drain large sums of money

To which I might add "directly" or "quickly" or "covertly", but I think you get the intent. My edit to the parent comment also applies, since none of these is a binary value and risk management should match the assumed risk.

edit: I would say that the fact that it's only a few bucks per user is not relevant, especially if that limit isn't hard-coded.

How about this

https://github.com/vindimy/altcointip/blob/master/src/cointi...

with this

https://github.com/vindimy/altcointip/blob/master/src/ctb/ct...

You don't think that might allow someone to do a bit of skimming by playing a little loose with the exchange rates?
