were it to be really good news, then we would have had big buys a couple of days ago because insider trading... oh wait.

BTW: this is the by-the-book definition of a bail-in. Isn't it ironic?

(copy from my post on Reddit)

I understand that the updates to users' balances in the database are not of the atomic-test-and-set kind.
The workaround that the site owner says will implement is still allowing for parallel operations, although now the operations will test the balance first.
IMO that is not good enough. You need atomic test-and-set, point. Without it you'll have other race conditions and it is just a matter of time until next vulnerability is found no matter how good you think you have mitigated the problem today.

I believe someone in Ukraine (or in Russia) DID panic and bought bitcoin.

While the market was maybe looking for an excuse to panic buy.

Bitstamp will be the next MtGox...act now before it's too late.

Either elaborate or shut up, please.

EMA is the correct way to do it. But keeping their formula secret gives them a way to tweak it for whatever reason.
That attitude is a big red flag for me. There is no such thing as good faith when too much power is involved.
That's why we trust opensource code and formulas that are written on the wall for anyone to see. That's why we trust math vs central banks in the first place.

So beware of the Winkdex.

We live in a culture where it's considered normal to show people killing each other in the most gruesome ways imaginable on TV, but god forbid you show some people making love. What more needs to be said about this?
We have an overpopulation problem.

continuing the OT for fun, I think that if the world population continues growing so fast, then buying LAND now will in the future turn out more profitable than gold and silver...

We have to work with fat ugly women who threaten workplace harassment lawsuits because they feel inferior. They are backed up by the white knight beta boyz trying to get into their hideously overstretched pant suits. Puritans I can deal with. It's the feminutiness imported from Europe that metastasized here and morphed into this PC Orwellian crimethink nightmare that's so much fun to subvert ;-)

You're not a very nice person are you? Do you ever intend to get married, have children? I hope you never have daughters.

lol I can't tell if you are trolling or not  Cheesy

According to sturle they "didn't need" to run on fractional reserve as they did "so much money" in fees that they could have covered ANY hole caused by seizures, misappropriations and whatnot.

My reply: never underestimate greed and incompetence. Bad management can destroy the biggest company in the world.

I wonder where sturle is hiding his face now. I remember him incessantly defending Gox in the Service Discussion threads throughout 2013.
