Apparently not thoroughly enough.  Test environments are supposed to MATCH the production environment.  But of course, secure coding doesn't apply to Bitcoins.

What does Bitcoin have to do with an exchange that is a completely different project?
You should word your trolls a little better or STFU.
Or in alternative tell me where in Bitcoin is that insecure coding... I suspect you will not find it, hell, even Dan Kaminsky admited that the coding is f'ugly but very secure and does what it's supposed to do(and I believe he really tried hard to find flaws in it).

Way to miss the context, genius.  You're posting in a thread about how an exchange's developer wrote flawed code that gave away free bitcoins to people.  You're complaining about my post where I said that "if he didn't want to give the coins away, he shouldn't have programmed his exchange to give away free coins."  I don't give a fuck if the bitcoin protocol is flawless, it's clear as day that everyone else associated with bitcoins is flawed and prime for ridicule.

*edit* I have yet to see a real success story of a project that's associated with bitcoins.  The track record's pretty abysmal and filled with great examples of people who really shouldn't be handling any serious amount of money.
