Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[mah87]

I sold all my bitcoins. Now it's gonna fall to 5$ this IS CERTAIN.

[wobber]

Fonzie is by far the best FUD prophet & king troll. I have to admit he never quits and I bet you he will trolls us even if we reach $1 or $1.000.000.

I have ignored him and Walsoraj

[gizmoh]

[seanneko]

I still want to see 200$ difference between Gox and everyone else

That already happened.

Wally not a troll...he's complete value.

And remember he's been a predicting single figure BTC price for...well,, ever since we hit double figures.

Not having a fonzie on ignore is like reading your email's spam folder : "Oh, penis enlargement, this looks interesting, *click*"

[fonzie]

Update on Transaction Malleability
Gavin Andresen    Feb 11 2014

You may have noticed that some exchanges have temporarily suspended withdrawals and wondering what’s going on or more importantly, what’s being done about it. You can be rest assured that we have identified the issue and are collectively and collaboratively working on a solution.
 
Somebody (or several somebodies) is taking advantage of the transaction malleability issue and relaying mutated versions of transactions. This is exposing bugs in both the reference implementation and some exchange’s software.
 
We (core dev team, developers at the exchanges, and even big mining pools) are creating workarounds and fixes right now. This is a denial-of-service attack; whoever is doing this is not stealing coins, but is succeeding in preventing some transactions from confirming. It’s important to note that DoS attacks do not affect people’s bitcoin wallets or funds.
 
Users of the reference implementation who are bitten by this bug may see their bitcoins “tied up” in unconfirmed transactions; we need to update the software to fix that bug, so when they upgrade those coins are returned to the wallet and are available to spend again. Only users who make multiple transactions in a short period of time will be affected.
 
As a result, exchanges are temporarily suspending withdrawals to protect customer funds and prevent funds from being misdirected.
 
Thanks for your patience. Follow us @BTCFoundation for updates as we learn more and make progress.

That's why they had said that people interested in bitcoin should run bitcoin nodes.

So many bad news and btc is holding so well.

[Erdogan]

received more "insight" on that february 2014 "event" from those nutjobs (?) at the farsight institute.

just dropping here for -- I don't know -- entertainment?:

_Implications Posting #4:_

_Above all else, those who govern seek to control what the masses accept as true, and there is nothing that they will not do in order to achieve this since it is the sole source of their power. The belief that those who govern would not brazenly manipulate knowledge simply for their own benefit is the single most important belief that supports their continued reign. This belief always leads to confusion, despair, and relentless cynicism from within the ranks of those who are controlled. Once this belief is abandoned, free will returns absolutely, and great change is inevitable._

_Notes:_
_1. This is one of a series of “Implications Postings” that refer to an announcement that will be made during the month of February 2014. Once made, news of this announcement will be available at www.farsight.org and elsewhere._
_2. These postings are designed to encourage broad public discussion of the February 2014 announcement. They do not directly address the specific content of the announcement._

Strange. You seem to have found the single paragraph on that site that is in fact sensible.
