yes of course. but i dont see somthing like that. tradehill dont come over 5%
i think what will happen is -
bitcoin someone leaving the niche, than the big onlinebrokers start offering bitcointrading next to their stocks/gold etc. than mtgox is the small plattform, tradehill maybie survive far away and the other exchanges decease.
Topic: someone fucked up and lost ALOT of money - page 4. (Read 30483 times)
Hoping for new exchanges that can dilute the share of bitcoins so that we have many smaller players rather than a dominant player, that would be best for bitcoin.
The win-win will disappear when the fuck up is so big that it turns into a lose-lose...
What if instead of 2k coins the dude(or code) that sent these coins to no address was moving the 500k coins we all saw MtGox move when the hack happened? Would their reaction be "hey, it's just the bitcoin revenue of 250 weeks, no problem" if that was the case?
Thinking about this stuff gives me the chills.

And this is the guy whom 90% of Bitcoin users trust their money to... 
MagicalTux fucks up... AGAIN!
What will happen when they lose the income of 10 years?

at the moment he stands 100% behind the bitcoin.
since the 17.000 Bitomat.pl story i trust mtgox deeply.
nobody asked him to pay the 17k. but he did. because he ownes and earns a lot of btc. and he is obviously looking long term.
so i dont see him running away with my mtgox balance.
It seems he's more close to LOSE the mtgox balance than run away with it.
And for some strange reason people also trusted "Tom Williams" and look what happened... doesn't matter if he was really hacked or if he scammed and run away with the money, people lost their bitcoin in the end.
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

I'm glad everything worked out for you 
They are all BTC addresses, yes, you can pick any one of them.
Thanks a lot for the donation
I really wasn't expecting that!
@BTCurious
thanks alot for your help !!! i can confirm that. the rest came. happy now.
i want to send you a 5 btc donation for your help.
i did not rewarded, and you did not ask for that.
but for me, a donation to you in this case is just we should treat each other. i have no btc service or something i could give you something back. so i send you btc. even i dont know you.
can i use one of the adresses in your footer? are them btc or a fork?
can you give me a btc adress?
thanks once again.

OTOH, he just helped me identify a bug in my code: it chokes when it receives an OP_0 where it expects to find an address...
:') 
Well, at least it was someone with a lot of BTC, and not some kid like half the people on this forum, who have devoted the last year to BTC and then lost it all with a buggy script. The guy running MtGox can probably afford it, at least...

- can someone reach MagicalTux via irc and link him to this?
I've contacted him on IRC. He had already sent out a new transaction. It was not yet processed by the blockchain. You could see it pending here: -link removed-Just now while typing it, it's been included in a block. It should show up in your wallet in a while, as it downloads the newest block.
-link removed-
// EDIT:
Im not in the irc, so i can not reach MagicalTux
[18:08] all the broken withdraws have been re-issued
for me, thats not true until now.
- can someone reach MagicalTux via irc and link him to this?
// FIXED !
BTCurious helped me out.

There is some discussion about having miners reject bad transactions. Wouldn't that just cause a huge split in the network if only half the people upgraded the client and then that happened?
Client doesn't have anything to do with miners.
Miners already can include or reject any transaction for any reason.
Each miner (or pool) decides which transactions (if any) to include in the block they are hashing.

Wasn't the idea of destroying bitcoins by spending to a provably non-redeemable address floated somewhere around here before? It was part of one proposed mechanism of migrating value to a new blockchain I think.
It seems to me that scripts such as this (sharp and pointy as they may be) should be allowed.

All these bitcoins, can they be retrieved or is it "Sayonara" for them? That's really a lot of money!
Bitcoin is irrevocable. The coins were sent to nowhere. They are gone.
I was just thinking today about resetting the -testnet with new rules to make it more stable/useful...
Interesting event which gives us all some information.
This event has caused about 0.0346% Bitcoin deflation.
Annual MtGox "BTC only income" can be estimated now as approximately 136 000 BTC or at current exchange rates slightly below 0.5 million USD.
Given 7.55 millions of current bitcoin float it is almost 1.8% of all bitcoins currently in existence.
more commentary on this matter at https://bitcoin.org.uk/forums/topic/402-mtgox-the-largest-bitcoin-exchange-has-revealed-its-income/ .
P.S. Only those who do nothing, do not make mistakes.

Holy crap, that was a pain to read. I gave up halfway through. I can't believe how patient you are, genjix
