Hitler actually came before the internets. Little known fact.
Besides, Godwin has already laid claim on all argumentum ad hitlerem.
Hold on. Let me go register btcdeadpool.org real quick. 
Too late. Site was already registered, established, took BTC and died. All within the time it took you to type out that post.
Lol, I'm not like that and I don't think there's anything more to discuss.
There really are people here that want to see BitCard thrive as a bitcoin business and that's what brings me back into it.

Were you a Yo-Yo in a past life? Are you in or out of Bitcoin? I have a lot of time invested in this thread, your thread, and you. And time is money.
Maybe he's both. In. Out. In. Out. Gotta keep a rhythm or you'll blow your load.
So, to be fair to Matthew, don't point out any facts.
The earth is flat. True story.
We have blocked your account due to malicious attempt to control prices.
Who are you to dictate who can and cannot trade? Who died and made you king of bitcoin?
Boy I'm more manager material then you'll ever be. I've logged the hours and gotten the certificates.
ok
I also do not think it is likely the recent DigiNotar or Globalsign break ins have produced SSL certs to attack mtgox with (which WOULD explain this) because mtgox uses EV certs and as far as I know none of the fake certs were for EV, but DigiNotar and Globalsign both DO issue EV certs. Although I am not ruling this out.
Forging a SSL cert only enables the possibility of a man-in-the-middle attack from being transparently obvious when it's no longer signed properly. However, you still have to accept the change in certificate for the forged-SSL MIM attack to work. Did you log in to MtGox from strange internet connections in shady places? Or did MtGox get their DNS forged as well?
you're still missing the main point :
despite all trolls fuding (not implying this for you), bitcoin (not the exchanges, not the online wallets, not the service providers around it) is still working flawlessly
and I'm beginning to think that bitcoin is unbreakable ...

If the only bitcoin-related-thing that works is the protocol itself, then it's still a massive failure as a whole.
This was yesterday in the MtGox IRC channel:

17:31 < kinlo> there is something wrong, how can it have gone above 10 when my sell order at 8 didn't occur?
17:31 < molecular> it didnt reall go above 10, I assume
17:31 < Ymgve> kinlo: bugs, the orders didn't happen or there was something wrong in the matching algorithm

17:32 <@MagicalTux> no

There we go - I knew I saw it somewhere but couldn't remember exactly where.
you miss the question then, correct one is : Who said paypal's worse than mtgox ?
Point taken. Let's do the apples-to-apples comparisons:
Who said USD is worse than Bitcoin?
Who said Paypal is worse than MtGox?
Re: Exchange accidentally sent 512 bitcoins after coding error
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.
la la la la I can't hear you my fingers are in my ears
Is your own self affirmation so strong that you can't smell the shit piling up in front of you?
repeat with me, mtgox is not bitcoin
I didn't say it was. I said MagicalTux is lying to you.
Re: Re-live the 9/9/11 terrorist cosby attacks on the BitcoinTalk forums
You do this to my site didn't you!?
I think Cosbycoin's damned funny. Does that mean you're accusing me of hacking some random irrelevant page of yours? I think that's pretty damned funny too.
Looks like MagicalTux was lying about the wacky trades then. When Mtgox got rooted the first time, everyone was forced to change their passwords to new, more complex ones. Here we've got a prime example of somebody who's got both complex and DIFFERENT passwords on each site, and he still had his mtgox wallet stolen.
Yeah, those two attacks aren't related.
Magicaltux is lying to you, and he now controls both Bitcointalk and Mtgox.
So... Who said paypal's worse than Bitcoin?
- Bitcointalk had a comedy javascript added to the bottom of the page via unsanitized input because the forums admins refused to use current-versions (SMF 2.x) of their forums software. So far nobody's posting accounts have been compromised or hijacked apparently.
- Mtgox had some clearly chaotic trading activity on Sunday 9/11/2011, which was sourced from a ton of accounts that had different/more complex password requirements than bitcointalk forum accounts.
Yeah, those two attacks aren't related.

Re: Exchange accidentally sent 512 bitcoins after coding error
If Intersango didn't want to give BenDavis 511 bitcoins, they would write code that doesn't give it away so freely.
This code was thoroughly tested using testnet.
The issue was with the server configuration, the database user did not have the proper permissions and the code failed in an unexpected way.
I have now changed to relevant code such that any failure of any kind will stop the script cold.

Wow. Well I would claim surprise but this is a bitcoin project... so...
Also, simple injection is hardly a "0-day" exploit. The fact that you guys had completely unsanitized input on your forums software means you're every bit as responsible for the hack.

How can bit walls be fake?
They must have the funds to place them and if they are got hit the transaction is done.

Well I must be psychic because *POOF* the $4 wall has vanished.
Yes, the person putting up the wall (mtgox) has to hold enough to cover it, but since it's fake, and there's no intent to follow through, the wall disappears (gets cancelled) before any trades get close to filling the order.

What do you mean? There's another fake bid wall at $4 now.
ya that is where prices will likely become stable... for a while... it's a big bid wall, but there really isn't much above it.
Actually, taking into account that bitcoincharts isn't showing ANY activity <$4 I have a suspicion that it's not a wall at all, but rather the sum total of all holder who simply don't believe it will drop below $4.
*edit* wait, wait, no. It's a wall:
$4.00 BTC:3461 (3) $73616
Two of those orders are 20BTC and 10BTC accordingly, leaving one giant wall of ~$73k. So unless somebody's foolish enough to actually want to spend $73k I'd bet that wall will disappear just like all the other ones did.
