get off mark's dick people.

obviously mistakes were made. this technology is still BETA.
his explanation makes sense.
mtgox is being attacked by the press, ddos, angry bitcoiners, and scammers 24/7 - they are doing their "best"
they are the oldest exchange that has not LOST all the bitcoins or run off or closed down.
give them credit

most of the newer exchanges were written more recently that could explain why their code is different.
also, regular reference clients arent' made for "exchanges" or volume users so custom code needs to be regardless.

bitcoiners, need to calm down, be smart and stop blaming GOX for EVERYTHING =)
