They could have handled it better by implementing the protocol correctly in the first place. It's like complaining that Spanish is a flawed language because the fact that "embarazada" means pregnant and not "embarrassed" confuses you.

How could they of handled it better?

There is a chance I suppose that they are just using it as an excuse but lets say they arent, just for discusson, What should they have done?

I think their initial post may have been vague because they didnt want to allert everyone to the fact that there was a potential security problem. But then why did the people in the know rubbish their second statement with the reason they had closed the withdrwal lines?

It all seems a bit confused, dont the devs talk to the big exchanges?

I think we have right to blame gox, they didn't handle the whole thing.

The issue was already known. The problem was with how Gox handled it causing everybody to panic thinking Bitcoin was fucked.

My first post here although I have been reading for months but recent events have spurred me on to 'put pen to paper'. So hi

Going on recent posts and hysteria from many posters who (and I may be wrong) seem like over excitable school girls I'm expecting the worse in any replies but nothing ventured nothing learned!

I have to hold my hand up and say I have 'coin at Mtgox, but I have it spread around elsewhere too, I personaly dont trust 'gox but then I dont trust any other exchange any more and on the plus side 'gox has up until now bounced back after the problems they have had and we all know exactly where to find them if we need to For balance I cant withdraw my money form any of the other exchanges that have locked down withdrawals either.

So my question, should we be thanking mtgox for alerting us of a potential problem and doing the right thing by stopping withdrawls and protecting our money or do people still believe its all mtgox's fault and things would have just been fine as they have been?

Speaking as a mature level headed adult who is comfortable with his investments in Bitcoin (and some other crypto's) my view is this mass hysteria, swearing and hatefull posts is doing the whole Bitcoin 'indusrty' nothing but harm if we want tor make the future of Bitcoin secure.

Tin hat on
