Migth sound good in theory but in reality not so much. Porting an app from iOS to Android. Rewrite. Using the google cloud apis and moving to amazon or azure. Rewrite. All vendors want platform lock in. The underlying tech is really fairly irrelevant.

Perhaps naïve question but can't see any info on this one. So, the Bitcoin ledger is still intact. 750,000 is quite a lot of Bitcoins to be stolen. Mt.Gox may have been shitty built but they must have kept some logs, account databases, etc. What are the odds of recovering the coins/exchange money that was lost? Technically sounds like pretty good odds? No?
