I am certainly not accusing you of any misbehavior, but even you would admit this incident did not serve your reputation well -- deservedly or not. And that is indeed your motivation for leaving.
- berberous 14y agoIt certainly doesn't inspire confidence in his ability to single-handedly securely run a financial company targeted by hackers, but I think he has handled himself quite well otherwise. His forthrightness with the incidents, covering of customer losses, etc. has made me respect him.
- illumin8 14y ago+1. Please give him respect. It's not often that a 17 year old hacker builds a site in 4 and a half days that begins processing over $1M USD in volume. Of course it's going to be a target for hackers. Do you insult the local jewelry store owner because his diamonds got stolen?
- polyfractal 14y agoPerhaps, if that jewelry store owner had his diamonds sitting on a picnic table outside the store, unsupervised.
- zhoutong 14y agoReputation damage is never the motivation for leaving. I wanted to leave long ago. The income was too attractive for me to actually leave. Without money I can finally rationally re-think my destiny.
- muyuu 14y agoI strongly disapprove of the recklessness you have displayed several times, but then again you're a kid and it's understandable. I hope you are successful and that you have banked well in the Bitcoinica deal.
- guylhem 14y ago"generating value for society at large" struck a chord with me. This is also something I strongly resent in my line of work. Maybe rationally rethinking one's destiny requires having first solved the money problem? Congratulations on your insights.
