I did notice that the owner of a large mining pool was receiving error notifications from Mt. Gox. This mining pool has tampered with mined blocks to include religious messages, so they'd definitely be in a position to do transaction malleability attacks to provide Gox with plausible deniability.

- tlrobinson 13y agoI recall hearing Mt. Gox had some sort of deal with Eligius where they'd include Mt. Gox's transactions for free. I don't know what Eligius got in return, if anything. The religious messages thing is a strawman. Miners are allowed to include whatever they want in the coinbase. It's common among pools, and hardly considered "tampering". https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38007.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38007.0 Edit: more info: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zifxf/why_is_the_admin_of_the_secondlargest_mining_pool/cfu7y1a http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zifxf/why_is_the_a...
