No doubt someone will call me a troll .. which is the standard behavior toward people that share their opinion which happens to be contrary to the shared (although now seemingly badly fragmented, which may be a good thing in the long run. If there is descent there may still be hope) consciousness of the all holy developers (assuming of course the fragmentation isn't just a manufactured front to confuse everyone even more than they already are) :

Malleability is what the "venerable" Mr Karples blamed the fall of Mt. Gox on .. whether or not this is true can perhaps be disputed, BUT,  IF I was a developer of a piece of software that based it sole purpose of existence on the TRUST of its ability to reliably  transact in an accurate and secure fashion, I image it would be a high priority to fix any possible exploits that might expose its total lack of ability to do this - which this attack - ONCE AGAIN PROVES.  If this happens to be because of a toolkit that is broken then I would take it upon myself to provide alternative tools that might produce better results -i.e. instead of shitting on people, allowing them to eat mutated transaction that could potentially put them out of business and then call it "a good test". It's like poisoning your baby to see if it's strong enough to walk. Ridiculously retarded.  PS:  I am not calling the attacker retarded. He is highlighting a valuable lesson that needs to be learned at some point. I wonder if it will happen any time soon?

I believe it is almost November - time to light another candle.. I need to check and see if the accounting system has been deprecated yet. meh .. you know I don't actually care. This whole thing dying a slow and horrible death and the fucking retarded attitude towards the whole ecosystem makes me very very sad.

I bet this post gets deleted by his highness gmaxwell .. whatever..
