Seriously this is so childish.

Sorry, but it's you being childish. It was the only way to get your attention, otherwise you just dismissed me.

Also, it was a very bad idea to enable distributed exchange on real MSC. Now there are transactions in the wild, so you can't retroactively enable the rule like "only simple sends are allowed before block 300000, other Mastercoin transactions are ignored" without pissing somebody off.

I hope you understand that enabling something on mastercoin-explorer.com can have dire consequences, as it's probably the first site people look at. You're playing with other people's money.

I really don't get why you, Killerstorm, are on such a witch-hunt to bring so much negative attention to the project. What do you think to gain by this?

Most likely I won't get anything, but Mastercoin project now has a chance to make security the top priority, which can prevent people from being scammed, and thus can prevent PR disaster.

Let me tell you something: there is a lot of very clever hackers, finding a way how to scam people using this distributed exchange thingie is pretty much trivial for them. What they normally do is much, much more complex.

There are people who know both the tech side and social engineering. It is only a matter of time before they notice this.
