In the meantime, exchanges and wallet services - and any service sending coins directly to third parties - should be extremely careful with anyone claiming their transaction did not go through.

Note that this will also affect any other crypto-currency using the same transaction scheme as Bitcoin.

apparently it's not even known if it's a solvable problem. the suggestion is apparantly to check if a transaction of the same size has gone through somewhere which sounds very scalable

A bug in the bitcoin software makes it possible for someone to use the Bitcoin network to alter transaction details to make it seem like a sending of bitcoins to a bitcoin wallet did not occur when in fact it did occur. Since the transaction appears as if it has not proceeded correctly, the bitcoins may be resent. MtGox is working with the Bitcoin core development team and others to mitigate this issue.

I was enjoying the gambling and playing the game, but not when the rules are blatantly disregarded and the goalposts are moved

When that happens, you get back the price paid AND the interest on top...Failure to do so means the bomb will explode and you lose. Make sure to tell everyone in order to get the bomb out of your hands! Each time the bomb is grabbed the price goes up by the multiplier and there is a small chance of winning an instant jackpot!

The Bitcoin Foundation, Coinbase, Bitstamp and Blockchain.info need to issue a statement debunking Gox's "bitcoin bug" argument (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 16 minutes ago by czzarr

Most people trust MtGox. It's the oldest exchange, was the most mentioned in the media. Their press release is pure bullshit but it's a subject that's way too technical anyway for most people to grasp. We need other big players to step up and reassure people, or this could be the death of Bitcoin.

[�]NilamDoc 1 point 2 minutes ago

Whatever may be the reason at MtGox, but the excuse they have given does not justify! They should consult better knowledgeable persons before sending such press releases.

Keep calm, transaction malleability is not double spending (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 3 hours ago by malefizer

It is well known since years and means only that you have a different transaction ID than your service is showing. At the end you should see the exit at your spending address an usual, only with another tx id.

What does it: somebody on the network sees your tx and makes a identical copy of it with some extra data, to have a different hash value. He CAN NOT diverge the transaction to another target address or double spend it. BECAUSE crypto remains unbroken.

this discredits the gently caress out of the site, have you guys not been able to convince the new owner that this is dumb, or did it turn out it was BFL who bought out the site in the end? because that's just as lovely
