I don't get it. You want .70 BTC from people or else you won't publish some article? ...And I care about the article because?

people should have been able to get their assets out within minutes after it happened.  and trading would have resumed with barely a blip, somewhere else.

Why, so the people who had hacked other people's passwords could grab tons of BTC and trade somewhere else? There were hundreds of accounts with unsecured passwords cracked within hours, 10% of them probably had 1 or 2 or 10 BTC on it. I had what I always considered a secure password and mine was hacked after a day. Yeah, it F@&ked the markey, but freezing it was the best thing they could have done.

Re: Cracked Passwords List Leaked, were you cracked?

I know this list isn't all of the passwords that were cracked. My username/password are not on this list, and I had my account, and one of my bank accounts compromised (I keep under $3 in the balance, so I don't care about it).

I would also check https://shouldichangemypassword.com/ It correctly reports I've hade my password compromised once on June 19, 2011. I got an email from Chase about my account on June 20, so it seems pretty accurate.

Been bitcoining since April, just not posting on the forums much. I tried a little bitcoin gambling early, lost like 3 coins total back when they were around $1 each, boy do I regret that now.

Had my bank account hacked

If anyone shared passwords between their mtgox accounts and any other websites, change them now. I just had my bank account temporarily locked, and got a notification from gmail asking to change my password due to suspicious activity. Apparently someone tried to set up a transfer on my bank account to another, jokes on them, that account had a balance of under $3.

It's my own stupid fault for sharing my password between accounts, even on my empty bank account, I know that. But this is a message to anyone who does the same, and a real wakeup call for me. My password was relatively secure, but no longer will I take chances like that by sharing or having passwords on anything important less than 20characters.

Coins dropped by abut $6 the past day and a half, that doesn't have you worried at all? I'm still holding on to my bitcoins in hopes of another rally. I'm just scared I didn't wait too long...

I don't see the price slowing at all until the $40 mark. It'll have a little snooze, and then be up and away again.

Hey, been hashing for a little bit, but I can't add my wallet address... I get the error "Notice: Undefined index: donatePercent in /var/www/accountdetails.php on line 95 " Even if I enter an amount to the donate Percent line.
