Why is the official bitcoinica line coming via you and not bitcoinica themselves? Did you contact them about this or did you hear about it elsewhere? So is this for sure a software problem? I wonder if they are going to 'fix' it by selling a ton of btc. Well, the statement says they aren't actually out of money, so they shouldn't have to sell BTC. |

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

He has promised to alert Zhou when he wakes up and says the problem should be fixed within a couple of hours. If you want, I can get Jon to post here. |

How are they going to handle people losing money on shorts they can't liquidate? |

The only way to fix this is involves selling a large amount of btc in order to restore bitcoinica's USD reserve.
I think that bid wall is going to get eaten up pretty soon.
sounds like to me the only "selling" will come from "shorting" into the bid walls. who's crazy enough to do that right now? |

Does anyone know what exactly mean by "No Reserve"? Can't buy or sell, or this is the Zhoutong's way to stabilize Bitcoin market?  |

Maybe Bitcoinica should just dump all the BTC they have in order to get USD, which in the process could very well trigger a panic and cause forced liquidations of everyone going long? :p

Maybe we should leave this to some speculators that want to take advantage of the long squeeze. We know how profitable this can be, but sorry, evil doesn't belong here. |

I hate to say I told you so. Actually, no... I love it.
Get your bitcoins out of this bucket shop now, while you still can.

I'm going to tentatively say that we might see something interesting at 8 PM EST. Don't be disappointed if this doesn't play out the way I expect it to, but something might happen.
Today's been an interesting day... I swear I didn't have insider knowledge xD |
