I can envision multitudes of scenarios where the free proliferation of source software to "anybody" with an Internet connection can be far more deadly.

I don't see a reason that you would be detered from submitting the same FIOA request for these emails. I expect the likelihood of getting a response and a set of documents sent to you would be the same as it would be if her emails were

In this initial allocation of nodes, will one node equal one individual (with a verifiable identity)? If it does, I expect that it would reduce the likelihood of a Sybil-styled attack during the early days of the network -- with the risk of

Possiblely, but in light of the protracted duration of the DDoS, it makes sense that people would be moving their holdings off-exchange when they could connect. If the withdrawal addresses were all different -- and from what Excoin posted o

The communication problems detailed in the article, coupled with the pre-construction work that was completed in China and then shipped across the Pacific, makes a difference when it comes to the management of the project. That's not t

Mt. Gox was "fractional" (as in actual holdings versus expected holdings), but you are correct that it is not accurate to describe it as a "fractional reserve" banking operation.

That was the first thing that came to mind, too. It isn't unusual to program in a shortcut like that for the QA team. It just looks like it was missed when they rolled that code out. It just goes to show (if my assumption is correct) t

The ~$130 price was on BTC-e. It was very short-lived, and was caused by a very large dump of coins that were bought up by a bunch of bots, which met all the standing buy orders from ~$680 down to (if I remember right) $102. The price immed

Or, it could be that Mr. Karpeles hasn't been harmed for a common sense reason; right now, he's the only one who seems to know what's going on inside of Mt.Gox, and what the actual status of the missing BTC is. If he comes ou

In that case, keep your changes and improvements in your own branch, and don't submit a pull request for them. If you don't want to share it for "free," that's your call.

It all really depends on whether or not the funds were siphoned out of Mt.Gox, or if they are still there in a (currently) inaccessible cold-storage wallet. If they were siphoned out -- especially over a long timeline -- I agree with you co

I don't know anyone who has been able to pull USD out of Mt. Gox for months. The reason it was +$100/BTC on Gox vs. other exchanges was the people were paying a premium to get their current fiat holdings converted into something t
