Re: my wild prediction for tomorrow: cheap coins (but not for long)

you understand that bitcoin protocol just failed right?

You know, saying this on many threads doesn't make it true... No, the protocol didn't fail. In fact, if everyone had upgraded to 0.8, we wouldn't even be talking. I realised you want cheap coins, but this is silly.

lol the protocol shouldn't care if people are mining on different versions, that's a bad design

It was a bug, and it's being worked on, even NASA with their rigorous coding system (two coders overlooking every code line, and 3 checkers checking their lines), and every change in code has to be commented extensively, makes fatal mistakes.
