Benefit of Open Source

The main benefit of an open source project is that it is usually much more secure. That is attributed to the fact that the code is open for the public to view and security is achieved not through obscurity but through proper math and cryptography. As a result, it would create a new security standard for exchanges, which in turn might reduce the amount of hacking incidents related to bitcoin exhcanges

.

A perfect example of  how secure open source applications can be is bitcoin. Anybody can view bitcoin’s core
