So basically Mt. Gox:
1) Lost a few million $ to the US government
2) They lost their market leading position
3) They halted transactions, as people moved away
4) Friday reason: we need a stable transaction stream ''for debugging purposes''?!?
5) Monday reason: the ''exactly one DER-encoded ASN.1 octet representation'' of the underlying crypto is not hard enforced by the Bitcoin reference code
6) We keep your money until this issue is fixed
Well, that sounds very reasonable Sir!
- higherpurpose 13y agoIf nothing else, I hope after all this the press stops basing the Bitcoin price on MtGox's price. Even services like Wolfram Alpha were using it, even though it's the only exchange that has Bitcoin price 10 percent more than everyone else, and it's not even that big of an exchange anymore.
