I'm getting most of my transactions "malleated" right now, so what? The original transactions never confirm, but the "malleated" ones do and they are registered correctly by Bitcoin-QT. You just see all your transactions twice, one is confirmed and the other will never be, so what? Balance is displayed correctly by QT because the standard implementation handles correctly malleated transactions.
What could be the motivations of whoever is doing this? To exploit an MtGOX-like bug on any exchange or system that may happen to have such a bug? There's no "exploit" unless you use a custom software that uses "transaction ID's" as the only element to check transaction, and then you let someone to "social engineer" you by making you believe they never received the money you sent them. If you use the reference implementation (bitcoind/Bitcoin-QT) your wallet will show BOTH transactions (the "malleated" and the original one) and will display the CORRECT balance, so there is really no way for you to be social engineered. If you use a custom implementation that only cares about txid, then probably the "malleated" transaction won't show up in your client/accounting system, leaving the door open to a social engineering attack. TL;DR: whoever is trying to "malleate" as many transactions as possible is doing it either for shit and giggles, either for trying to spread some panic among novices and thus induce panic selling. Well said Rampion.  |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

The usual. Nothing to worry about. It's just Bitcoin, you know. Keep caml and hodl  And, if you have funds on an exchange, be ready to buy - place a few optimistically low bids now. |

Oh wow! Fiverr accepts Bitcoin! That's very nice news.
You can start panic selling now.
Never heard of the service. Can sellers be paid out in Bitcoin as well? It's quite big. It should boost confidence a lot. But as expected we are going down. Because good news is omg sell. Nah, i know it's coincidence but still. There should be no reason to go down but no amount of good news can stop It. I hope they will pay with BTC as well. |

MtGox is broken.
The Blackhat hackers are broken
The sheeple panicking are broken.
But Bitcoin works correctly.

You call raising the debt ceiling bad news for bitcoin? I think that's bullish for bitcoin actually, but I doubt the market will even care right now. |

There are cheap coins on offer. How is that not good news for speculators and investors alike? |
