Someone's 15 minutes of 'fame' are over, but like a bad houseguest, he just doesn't get the hint he should head home.
Maybe this will help:
"Okay, you are super-smart, good job propeller-head. Now go away."

Everyone here who is mad because something less-than-perfect was disclosed and may threaten their investment is an absolute FOOL and are behaving in the same way as the investment bankers who tried to cover up the imperfections in the real market. Yet many of you are the same anti-establishment zealots who wear your militia jackets and talk about the underhanded skulduggery of the Federal Reserve and the powers-that-be. Look at yourselves.

I'm assuming everyone is behind i2p, swarm and/or the onion router, reading this through lynx/links correct?
There is discrepancy between your imagination and reality. You imply this forum is secure?

I've seen things get fractured like this before in other like minded anarchist underground communities, it creates an us versus them mentality against it's very own, which essentially destroys the entire community, partitioning it into very small stagnant circle jerks. You might think you are doing a favor to justice, but really it's just reaping what you sow.

I've finally had enough of MtGox. Orders not executing, security issues, poor communication, bugs and God knows what else have eroded my trust. Until they get their act together and fix these lingering problems I'm moving out of their exchange.
MT, if you're reading this, best of luck. I'm taking my ball and going home.
(read I took the small amount of cash and BTCs in my MtGox account and moved them to other exchange accounts I use)

I'm not surprised, as this is the logical conclusion of anarchist philosophy.

Guys, the hate isn't necessary. Full Disclosure vs. other methods is a (computer) age old debate that is like arguing Right Wing politics vs. Left Wing. No one is right, no one is wrong. They are opinions on how to handle these situations. If MtGox wants people to minimize impact of disclosed security vulnerabilities, they need to fix them promptly. I assume they are doing so.

Its always such an elusive thing, as every time something about it is mentioned, someone will conveniently float in to say that this or that "isn't true anarchist thought".

Absolutely. And what people don't seem to realize is that Full Disclosure is infinitely better than No Disclosure, which was another option open to the OP.

This isn't any kind of serious journalism, it's some dyslexic hit piece ("psuedo-currency", also check out the article heading beneath: "Court scambles to accommdate Ryan Cleary" - noone even proof reads this stuff). BTW, respect to OP's convictions.

I really appreciate people bringing this out in the open. I'd rather know how insecure my trading platform is so I can make an informed decision to take my business somewhere else.
Thanks to the OP for keeping us in the loop!

You do realize that there really was no problem to begin with, right? This is complete BS and should simply be ignored.
