1) Perhaps in the future devs should abstain from using words like EMERGENCY... URGENT... and so on. This is one of those times when less is more. A simple message saying users don't move your coins for a little while, miners revert to 0.7 until the blockchain catches up would have been enough.
Wrong. In Bitcoin we call it as it is! If there is an emergency then we want to quickly see notices from Pieter Wuille telling the truth. (Thanks Pieter!) Spin is for slimy politicians, big corporate apologists.2) The chain can fork, by accident, and things can go back to normal in a matter of hours. I still think that's a win.
+1 Absolutely.3) MtGox doesn't give a rat's ass about Bitcoin... or at least not as much as it does about its own fees. I won't touch them again with a ten foot pole.
Wrong. Mt.Gox behaved exactly as it should have done. They deserve praise by keeping their internal market open and allowing the market to give a verdict during events. To argue otherwise is to join the stone-throwers here:http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/jul/17/pakistan.protest.shares
4) The rolling out of new versions, in the future, should be done differently (but we knew that, didn't we?)
+1. This is a priority. There needs to be a plan where discussions are held with pool operators to ask/negotiate an upgrade timetable for each new version. It seems too informal. Such plans could be posted on the forum so everyone knows what is expected.
