Why haven't I ever heard about this ?

The hacker discovered that if you place several withdrawals all in practically the same instant, they will get processed at more or less the same time. This will result in a negative balance, but valid insertions into the database, which then get picked up by the withdrawal daemon. ~ D'Agosta

If I did not make this adjustment, people would most likely withdraw all their BTC as soon as possible in order to make sure they weren't left in that remaining 12.3%.
Does anyone else notice the same "oh noes how did that happen ??!! I'm a stupid noob and/or I got hacked" narrative ?

If I am not mistaken, Poloniex quite swiftly paid back the "12.3%" via exchange fees.
Don't quote me though, as I am not positive.
Remember hearing about it ages ago.

Let's try to stay on topic.

Right.. they gave the customers a "hair cut" then robbed them again with higher fees.. and you consider this acceptable ? GTFO lolz

I was implying that your/Dooglus' story about "the digger" sounds just as made up as Polo's. lol

Who are/were you before you made this account ? hmmm ? (we will eventually find out.. Shocked )

If I/we were to clone the original CLAM client and move the snapshot back 1 year, how many coins will you, I mean Dooglus, I mean BayAreaCoins lose ?
