1) So then you are in it for the money?


Let's rephrase my previous sentence: As a human being, I'm programmed to try to make some profit, so that my offspring will have a better chance in the real world.


Anyhow, given the chance to sell the bitcoin community for the personal gain, I would say no.

What does your question have to do with anything?

I was trying to prove to you that stealing a large bitcoin sum is the best way to make the price crash, thus making the theft stupid.

If I found a serious security vulnerability, I would forward the information on to the appropriate parties so they can fix the holes ASAP.

I think that, given how understaffed exchanges are, maybe the email would have been read by the same person who is responsible for the development/management, thus it would have been overlooked.

I think also that by posting it here not only I'm advising users, but I'm also putting pressure behind ALL the exchanges to fix this ASAP.

And I wouldn't even demand a small fee (5 figures) because maybe I like the bitcoin project, so maybe I would like to see as little bitcoin frauds as possible.  Wink

Do you think that I ever thought for a single instant, that I would have been paid?

Do you think that if that was my real intention, I would have posted my request in public?
