always felt this will happen

I speak for SHA-256

BTC-e got in touch with CoinDesk and had this to say:

“There is not a problem with the Bitcoin’s protocol. Unconfirmed transactions were always malleable in the Bitcoin network. We wonder why Mt. Gox wasn’t already aware about this having worked for several years with the protocol. We kindly advise Mt. Gox to hire more professional technical staff.”

In the meantime, mtgox has been removed from other web sites, and http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/ is not working anymore

i think karpeles & co are arbing currently between mtgox & other exchanges
easy ~130 $ profit per coin

Well, Mark crawled out from under this rock, and is still spinning this as Gox not only being a victim, but the saviour of Bitcoin by bringing it up and forcing the Bitcoin devs to fix it.

It's been said Gox may open BTC withdrawals again come Monday.

If so, that would leave only a million other problems for them to work on; like solvency and USD withdrawals.

Yeah, but we won't hear it from Gox. Remember, this latest issue is only one on a long list of issues Magic: The Gathering playing card exchange has had over the years, and not a single one of them has Gox ever been very forthcoming about.

Given their history, the safe bet is; If Gox says it, it's 99.99% a lie, or at the very least, a slinky made from part of the truth.


BTW: Update on Gox, they released a statement today (Monday) regarding BTC withdrawals. Their statement said they fixed the problem but BTC withdrawals are still disabled and they will make a another statement later in the week, hopefully no later than Thursday, with another update. Also that 'when' withdrawals are enabled again, they will be limited and capped according to market conditions.

In other words, they are stalling for time, and if/when withdrawals are enabled, you still won't be able to get everything you have out. 

So they released another statement today (Thursday) as promised. Withdrawals are still turned off.

They are siting security issue that forced them to relocate to a new building yesterday for the delay.

They will make another update an some undetermined point in the future. Nope, they didn't even bother to give an estimated time frame for another update this time.

Funny how they claim the issue has been fixed since the weekend. Funny how "moving" didn't effect Deposits or Trades.


To Gox: You're insolvent, we all know this! Stop stalling for time and making excuses. Just roll over and die already instead of trying to drive down Bitcoin too just because you morons were selfish, greedy and f--ked up!

I wonder if problems may arise in the future on account of MtGox owning the Bitcoin name.
