Question, should we expect crypto exchanges/wallets to be bug-free? Or mistakes such as this inevitable?

This is one of the sources of fear of many potential investors, but it's good that the company have tracked and traced it all the way back to traders and corrected the problem. Otherwise, it would be a very expensive mistake that's ever made in the shortest time!
Hopefully trading platforms will increase and strengthen security to avoid this terrible mistake.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=search I suggest the google search, or you could've just read through some of the threads on this board; you'd notice that a similar thread is right on Page 2 at the time you made this thread. Page 1 at the time I'm writing this post, actually, so maybe you'll realize how silly it looks.

Either way, you should probably lock the thread and just join the discussion already taking place.

This glitch delighted all smiled and thought that they got rich and then had to return everything to a penny. It's a shame.

Kinda sad that these people got nothing out of it, though if they really wanted to go ahead and make something like this work they'd have to do it in small amounts. If you're trying to get trillions of dollars in Bitcoin it's going to of course set off some fucking red flags and nothing is going to work.

I wanna know if the exchange actually lost any amont of money from this, I'd think that'd be a yes but who knows.

I apologize for that, I made the mistake of repost due to a number of reasons (1) thought it was the most recent news Feb 22 2018 in the news platform with high trust index, (2) I sure know how to use search option, but sometimes words used aren't just the best fit to search and so it returned low similarity, and (3) usually, if not so many people commented on it it may not be even listed in page 2. and so it would be quite tedious to manually check all pages.
Bu then again I apologize but let's just look at it the bright side, we may share common sentiment and objective/s to have people aware that glitches can occur, in a way opens up avenue for discussion to prevent it, and minimize mistakes that would discourage investors and sever prices.
And yes, will take your suggestion sincerely.
