Title: MtGox and Transaction malleability
Post by: nick32768 on February 13, 2014, 10:40:28 PM
MtGox blocked withdrawal of BTC because of this "design issue that has been largely ignored".
At the same time, they are accepting BTC deposits that are potenitially exposed to the same issue.

They also state that "Bitcoin transactions to any MtGox bitcoin address [...] are not affected by this issue."

Does it make any sense ? Is not this a clear evidence of their bad faith ? Is there something I'm missing ?

Yes, absolutly. And the same is true for Bitstamp and all other bigger and older exchanges. These issue have messed up there withdrawal booking systems. It will take some time to fix it. Smaller exchanges seems to have fewer problems. Could today deduct my coins from Bitcoin.de without any problem. Hard to believe that people are actually so stupid and panic. Bitcoin is beta and the old exchanges are knitted from floral wire and chewing gum. But, this is known to everyone. Stay calm and wait.
