They've change the structure of bitcoin_tx and remove some data for security purposes.. thereby hiding the stats..

< BitCoroner> MagicalTux: why can't we see the raw transactions anymore on https://data.mtgox.com/api/0/bitcoin_tx.php ?
<@MagicalTux> BitCoroner, because phantomcircuit found a security issue with showing this

Which is complete and utter nonsense. Every raw tx ever made and which will ever be made is available in the blockchain. There is absolutely no security issue by making the raw tx known.

Possibly there is. This is a guess, but by making the raw transaction known it could allow someone to alter the DER encoding of the signature scripts producing a clone of the transaction with different hash. If the modified transaction is then broadcast and confirms before the original Mt.gox may check the original transaction hash and see the outpoints have been double spent then resend the payment using new inputs resulting in the withdrawal been paid twice. It really depends on how Mt.gox detects a failed transaction.

piuk, so what is you general guess about the situation? should we be calling lawyers? or it is a glitch
