The bitcoin protocol is working fine gentleman. Just some bug in wallet software which causes this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_Malleability. There is already a technical implementation for this and it is implemented now. That's why BTC-E and Bitstamp are updating their wallets.

edit: Gox did fuck up more than other exchanges because their coding was old, therefore the chances of transaction malleability happening at gox was higher.

there so much FUD right now, and alot of poeple come here to understand what is happening, so i feel compelled to point this out:




as you can clearly see the bitcoin network is working just fine, despite what some would have you believe

the problem lies in the custom built wallet software exchanges implemented.

attacker(s) are, unsuccessfully, trying to fool these exchange into thinking tx are not occurring when they really are

bitcoin dev are working to resolve this problem by working with exchanges, miners, and also thinking about possible protocol updates to completely remove all possibility of future attacks.

now look back and see who has been spreading FUD, and click ignore.
