uiui, do they also use this txid like gox?
Probably at least to display them in the payout overview... if you send BTC via the RPC command you get back the TXID. The fact that you are not supposed to log that at all since it is meaningless and NOT an "ID number" for a "transaction" but merely something that might reappear (or not) on the block chain at some point maybe eventually is not made very clear at the very least.
Anyways, I bought some more cheap coins, happy to unload these suckers once people realize that this is just an annoyance but nothing more. At least it's Tuesday so no weekend shifts for the backend devs.
The real unanswered question is whether Bitfinex uses this txid themselves in their accounting. If so, then people could continue to withdrawal BTC they don't have.
Raphael already said that they don't. They display it in their withdrawals overview though, depending on how they get that ID it might be the case that the TXID displayed there is wrong. I would expect them to check mined blocks though and only display TXIDs that show up in there. Safer that way.

No, what he said was that he believe that MtGox's problem was "an internal MtGox issue". It was not even clear that Raphael even understood the problem. I mean, it's hard to a imagine an exchange accounting system that *doesn't* use transaction ID to ID transactions as their primary database key.
Stamp seems to have been caught off-guard. In any case, Bitfinex is still impacted because they have coins locked on the Stamp platform now. Bitfinex support should be releasing a statement of some kind (assuming anyone is awake).
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5061590One last thing: we are not impacted by the problem of Bitcoin withdrawals MtGox have. When a withdrawal seems to have failed, we use the bitcoin address to do a manual double check. So far this is not an issue.
I hope he revisits the issue and also the solution MtGox proposed actually IS a reasonable one and would be nice to have (and more useful as an actual TransactionID rather than the current TXID), let's hope people stop the flaming and this stuff gets into bitcoind asap.
What's needed is an "Official Statement" regarding the Stamp situation,
until then everyone is left guessing in the dark.
As to if anyone is "Awake or Not" is irrelevant,
one does not sleep when a crisis like this is at hand
without "First" putting out an "Official Statement" to put out the fires:
