The time seems right for the first bitcoin insurance company.


Only problem. Who would insure a data file of unknown value?


That's not really a problem. You'd insure individual bitcoin addresses, and the amount of bitcoins assigned a bitcoin address is public.

The real problem is figuring out whether an address has been actually stolen, or whether the user is indulging in a spot of insurance fraud.
