- sillysaurus3 13y agoNevermind, I'm mistaken. After reading the paper more carefully, it's saying only 384 coins were involved in successful malleability attacks before Feb 7th (when Mt. Gox stopped withdraws). But between the 7th and the 13th (when Silk Road announced they'd lost their coins), the number of coins involved in malleability attacks increased to almost 300,000 BTC: http://i.imgur.com/H8YVLXO.png http://i.imgur.com/H8YVLXO.png As such, it's entirely possible that SR lost 4,400 coins due to malleability.
