Of course there will be more surprises down the road. Bitcoin is anything but boring.

It was pretty boring for January and people complained about the price stagnating or not going up, now they complain for the opposite lol.

I don't imagine there will be anything big. Of course there will be ongoing attacks to break the network etc. Did we ever find out which node(s) were sending out the malleability attack? Of course there will be more surprises down the road. Bitcoin is anything but boring.

Everyone complains about everything... Fucking complainers. Back in my day there wasn't so much complaining! You just took what came your way, and you took it with ya to school in 6 feet of snow, up-hill both ways! Can't people just appreciate what they Have? Geese! Some people's kids.... Wink wink

Who actually checks the code? I think almost no one because everyone trusts "someone else" will do it.

What I find troubling is that I don't seem to find anything resembling the transaction malleability issue on the 'official' list of weaknesses. Am I just missing it?

Am I just missing it? eh, the transaction malleability issue doesn't really affect people who wait for confirmation in the blockchain. Here's the wiki link: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_MalleabilityOnce a few block confirms happen it's all gravy.

The weaknesses of Bitcoin are the weaknesses of its users. It is difficult to make a program that anticipates all the various kinds of thinking that everybody might have as to how to use it. The simpler the program, the less mixed up will anyone become. Bitcoin itself is simple in its operation (even though it is complicated in certain aspects of its programming). As long as folks use Bitcoin in simple fashion, as long as they don't attempt to make it do more or less than it was designed for, it will work well. But as soon as you try to make it do some other things, and adapt it to do so, remember to be very clear with users, and very clear in your own thinking, regarding the changes. The more complicated you make it, the more you will have to stretch your own thinking into all the various kinds of thinking that the various users might have. If you don't do a good job, it will fail.

I expect someone to eventually pull off a Sybill attack against a poorly connected merchant node. There is no guaranteed defense but you increase your resistance by using multiple listening nodes. Then again maybe I am just crypto-paranoid.

Who actually checks the code? I think almost no one because everyone trusts "someone else" will do it. You would be surprised. Check how active the GitHub is. We are generally not ordinary people, we are almost entirely technology enthusiasts, and the number of cryptographers/programmers is HUGELY disproportionate to averages.

I doubt it. He won't even admit he messed up on so many levels in addition to running away from an in person conversation with a customer at the entrance the MTGOX HQ.

Yes, I get that. But the 'Weaknesses' wikipage reads like a list of all the things that _might_ be considered problematic in any fashion.

I suspect we'll see a Timejack attack on one of the major mining pools this year if it hasn't been attempted already.
