you understand that bitcoin protocol just failed right?

Wow, way to misinterpret.

Tonight was a success. Both in terms of the flexibility of the system, and the community's reaction to a bug. This just gives me more long-term confidence that bitcoin can withstand adversity, be it from a software issue (these *will* happen!) or a malicious attack. Tonight's issue was handled and resolved with remarkable speed, consensus, and effectiveness.
