Follow up question? Do all the other crypto currencies have the same potential transaction malleability risk? (since they may all be derived from bitcoin in one form or another?)

they all have the same problems...they are mired in a speculative bubble...with very limited use outside of exchanges...the exchanges can´t work with malleability risk...so they need to be closed down... cryptos are serving there purpose of transfering value at any price....BTC at 10 cents is as valuable as at 1000 dollars may be not for speculators but for real use !!!

No. 12,378,575 bitcoins in existence x $0.10 = $1,237,857.50 How do I transfer 2 million dollars worth of value with Bitcoin?

The stupidity of this action by mtGox is beyond comprehension. Is the CEO suicidal or what? Did he forget what his business-model is supposed to be and what he is supposed to be selling?
Either he is a complete and utter moron who thinks he can fix things by destroying the product he's selling in the public eye, or he's organizing some major inside trading scheme.

People's decision to sell (at 120 USD at BTC-e for example) was a perfectly decentralised decision. No one else was forced to buy or transact at such valuations! I don't think he decided to sell @ 120 USD. Here, some BTC nouveau riche just has learnt what "market order" means, I guess.

everyone seems to forget that Mark is NOT a native english speaker, nor are the JAPANESE people. whoever wrote the press statement in the ENGLISH language may not have carefully analyzed every word used and chosen the best one. people forget that MTGOX is a japanse company run by a french guy

Their grasp of English isn't the problem. Their grasp of code (or distinct lack thereof) is. Whatever language they chose to say it in, they said the fault lies with bitcoin, when it was no one's fault but their own.

Sounds like he is basically saying Bitcoin is broken and that Gox should have implemented their own way to find out if a transaction is real or not. I hate to say it but if a flaw like that really does exist how can one say it's not broken.

Their problem isn't that people didn't understand them. Their problem is that people did.

Well imagine you pay a plumber $100 dollars with a check and a week later he says he lost the check and wants another one. What would you do?? If your answer is that you would write the plumber another check for $100 without thoroughly checking with the bank first, then you would be like Mt Gox. They are stupid beyond belief.

The problem is the way they run their business and how they handled this situation. Appalling on all fronts.
