kokjo, its pretty obvious that you're just trolling for attention. It does say "You are WRONG! Cheesy" in your profile. Pretty much reflects how you're going about this conversation. You're acting like a child who doesn't give a crap about anything and anyone. Great way to be, really....

Full disclosure without giving the dev a reasonable amount of time to fix the issue is wrong. If there is a bug that no one has exploited yet and you tell the dev, they fix it, no one got screwed then you either make the dev publicly inform everyone, or if they refuse you do it for them... By then, no one has time to fuck the whole site and all the members included. You're not just harming the site. You're harming all the members, the bitcoin community. Its not like every member is listening to you waiting for you to say when something has a problem so they can bail. Lots of people stand to lose when you do that kind of shit.

With bitcoin being the way it is, anyone can start a service or exchange. There is no authority to certify the security of these sites. When one of them fucks up and lots of people lose, it screws with bitcoin as a whole. People lose faith. There's absolutely nothing positive behind what you're doing. Its not even positive for you if you have anything to do with bitcoin unless all you do is troll the forums.

Believe what you will. It doesn't make it right and it doesn't make your intentions honorable either.
