yup ... any thoughts on what that will do to the market ... or sense it was a day or so ago do you think the market has already reacted ?

Plus trading at Mt.Gox is paused right now

I think that will remind everyone that MtGox can be hacked as well.  I know now after a year from the last hack it looks invincible - but there is so much money there that it is also a very attractive target.

This will not change much the thinking of the old timers - but it will give a second thought to everyone sending his first USD stash to MtGox or other exchange.

There's not much of a chance that MtGox keeps all bitcoins in their unecrypted hot wallet, I guess. So, even if they are hacked, they wouldn't lose all coins like Bitfloor.
