Don't forget the very easy netsplit exploit and who knows how many other unnoted vulnerabilities due to non-maintenance...
None actually does this exploit right now because of no profit from it and the lulz will be minimal too. Non use actually makes a little bit safer, none is looking for new vulnerabilities if he is not specifically targeting one computer or one person. But I consider this a security-trough-obscurity and I think it is a bad practice!Quote
Well, that's your own fault for participating in a DDoS against Bitcoin.
The people who have written automatic scripts that play using Martingale system with very small starting bets like 0.001 are the ddosers! And they are losers also! I started to play Satoshi Dice with approx 4 bitcoins from spare wallet, I have won 3 digit number of bitcoins! With these coins I have purchased all necessary top-end components for my new desktop computer (except HD7970 crossfire and PSU that I already owned)! I will not tell how much it cost to me or how much bitcoins I won using Satoshi Dice because none will believe.How much for me this gamble for new computer cost in transaction fees? Probably slightly less than 1BTC. I will calculate this exact number in spare time for my own reference. Are someone willing to get almost 1BTC extra if all they need to do is install different Bitcoin version without forced tx fees?
