Mt.Gox is Soon to Announce Maintenance

[Bitnicity]

there is a maintenance announcement coming up soon, look like the deposit will also be shut down in order to fix the bugs, not sure if trading will be halted or not, or maybe they completely shut down the site.

People's guess if this is the light at the end of the tunnel or just end of the tunnel without any light.

Well, don't get your hopes up. If they have bitcoins stolen, they need new idiots to deposit so those who want to withdraw can get their coins. This "soon" is at least 1-2 weeks from now based on the development effort required.

Just to update this thread, it seems that this discussion is mostly stale now. We (at MtGox) will implement this new hash index in our transactions database and start working with it (we will announce a maintenance as we will have to stop bitcoin deposits too during the database schema update) and will start providing this new hash when customers are withdrawing bitcoins, litecoins, or any other coin based on Bitcoin we may support in the future.

We will also provide an API that will allow our customers to use this hash to retrieve the transaction hash as seen in the blockchain once the transaction is confirmed, and will hope others (blockchain.info?) will index this value one day.

We also invite other exchanges and businesses which may need to keep track of bitcoins they send to use this same method, since dealing with multiple variations of the same thing wouldn't be very productive.

If nobody does it, we will also post some test vectors for regular (in=>out) transactions in the near future.

This is very good news, at least for MtGox users.

Bitcoin DEVS itself needs to fix their transactions don't they?

You guys should really take Marks words lightly....by fixing he will fuck it even further. Its a hack job.

Hes gonna test it on his exchange? How great is that!
