Thanks!

Ya I regret sending them all my info to become "verified". I never put money on, but I barely trust them with my identity at this point.

Yes, switching algorithms could be done. It would be a very painful transition if not done planned out in advance, though.

If anybody is tracking all transactions including ones that don't end up in any chain, then they might be able to find likely matching candidates, one with a padded sig. Attributing one side to gox might be easy (are gox still doing green addresses?) I do agree with you, though, and I'm suggesting that gox should be pointing at the transactions where they were robbed if there were any. If there wasn't at the very least an active attempt at an attack then things don't bode well for gox. In fact, they already lied in their initial press release when they said that "To understand the issue thoroughly, the system needs to be in a static state". Even if they're being upfront then they were closing withdrawals to stop being robbed, not to "understand the issue".


There are zero people in this thread with enough credibility to suggest that sha256 is broken and get taken at their word. However, I can believe you were talking to somebody who was speculating that it was.

I said there is speculation that SHA256 has been compromised based on a discussion I had with someone. Wtf is the point to what you just posted? My source would be more knowledgeable about this than anyone in this thread or even anyone working as a core developer for the bitcoin foundation.

Following reddit and other sites today and watching what happened was kind of amazing. Just how people took to social media and forums to inform people and pretty much Barry mtgox is pretty cool, The community is powerful.

2TH/s miner from some students. Legit?!?

100% not legit. The domain was registered 2-3 weeks ago and they claim they have 150 units in stock. This is basically the definition of a scam.

I'm guessing Mt. Gox is insolvent and using this bitcoin "glitch" as an excuse.

Here's my question, if this "glitch" is 3 ****ing years old, why hasn't it been fixed?

Is the standard practice in bitcoin to don't fix it until it causes havoc? Sure appears to be so.

The core developers have slowly been closing the hole a are adjusting what can and cannot be done to a transaction. I guess it's a big deal when you rewrite the protocol or whatever.

Is this source the whole banking industry?

The source and evidence is all the VC money flowing into the bitcoin ecosystem. They are not all making a hundred thousand bitcoin exchanges. They are designing products around bitcoin to make it all the things you said it's not.

When did Bitstamp get trailing stop losses, how is this order type achieved?

Except in the US, Europe and elsewhere.

The implication was supposed to be that credibility required is massive, not that there aren't credible people in this thread. There's speculation about everything that has come out of the NSA, no secret there. Your implication is that there's something secret that you're party to, that you aren't willing to go in to, that lends more credence to it than what has been aired publicly. You're underestimating the (relevant) credibility that would be required to change a rational person's opinion on SHA-2 based on word alone.

MASS WITHDRAWAL PROBLEMS at BTCE & Bitstamp?

They don't but you can just do it yourself manually just by raising your sell order every now and then

i have the same problem from another exchange, the txid is not found on the blockchain. I did then send them to my wallet and not straight to another exchange.

This sounds like you have no idea what you are talking about.

Explain why it sounds like I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Just read this quote again:

You might as well be saying that cicada 3301 is easy and you have solved all of them, but you obv cant talk about it or else you get kicked out of the secret society it got you into.

Or maybe I just know someone who works for the NSA in data security? How about stfu and troll elsewhere.

No one is denying you may know someone who works in the NSA in data security. The fact you think your one friend is enough to justify something that has been researched extensively by the entire international banking industry and by countless academics in multiple fields for over 20 years is totally fine for you.

It just means absolutely nothing to anyone else.

It's purely speculation as I pointed out, based on a conversation with a person more informed on the subject than anyone here and any of the core bitcoin developers. Even if it was compromised by the NSA, it doesn't mean bitcoin or anything else is unsafe because of it. There is simply no need to go into this debate as its been talked about a lot on bitcointalk.org already. Proof of it being compromised won't exist until major unlawful incidents happen.

proof of it being compromised won't exist until it's compromised.
