Hi
Can please a Core developer or a Bitcoin foundation member confirm whether the Malleability transaction problem has a truth to it?

thx

The Malleability issuse is a known problem to insiders since 2011.

The better question to ask is, how many issues like the Malleability problem exist within the protocol. Each of such problems represent a 'trump' card that any exchange could play to manipulate the market or exploit it's customers at any time.

The BTC exchanges should be either regulated by independent bodies or should be forced to extinction by introducing a Public and Decentralized Exchange with interface to fiat provided by IMF or the World Bank or some such ^^

Getting away from fools like the IMF and World Bank was part of the point of bitcoin, so please, not them.

hehe ...well better than shady private FED. We are at mercy of the exchanges, I mean whats better Moldavian mafia running btce or IMF?

The lesser evil.

There are plenty of threads about this already and the issue was known for a long time.

Which means there is not much foundation for the Gox panic.

Just a real delish atmosphere for fearmongers...?

That's exactly what they did. They seem to be trying to cause as much panic and confusion as possible.

If this was an intention rather than mishandling of not so grave situation there is no way they are insolvent, because they were buying all the way down when people were selling...

I still think it was just a case of a severe mismanagement(f#ckUP)
