		vkou on June 17, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Critical Update on DAO Vulnerability Suppose that I want to make a medical device, and I want to get liability insurance for when a bug in its code administers a lethal dose of radiation to a patient. Is there any extant insurance company that would want to review my code in exchange for a lower premium? If not, why would one be willing to do this for a flash-in-the-pan cryptocurrency, but not a useful, real-world device?

For an insurance policy like that, they wouldn't offer any policy without auditing the device, including the code.
