Maybe Gox's technical issues meant they got hacked or are getting ready to cut and run.

malice v. incompetence

they probably have their butts squirreled away in a bunch of separate lock boxes all over the place in 2 of 3 keys to keep them from getting stolen, because gently caress having to deal with securing butts

then again they are probably dragging their feet because responsive withdrawals would just put more gas on the bank run fire

remember these are the people who will go in suspended trading mode in a crash, despite that in a regulated market that call is done by the sec

Keep calm, transaction malleability is not double spending (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 3 hours ago by malefizer

It is well known since years and means only that you have a different transaction ID than your service is showing. At the end you should see the exit at your spending address an usual, only with another tx id.

What does it: somebody on the network sees your tx and makes a identical copy of it with some extra data, to have a different hash value. He CAN NOT diverge the transaction to another target address or double spend it. BECAUSE crypto remains unbroken.

just guessing here but

I send you .00000001 bitcoins with no transaction fee. You get the .00000001 but the transaction is never "confirmed", therefore your entire balance is tied up (apparently depending on which wallet you're using)

i legit want to buy a butt and shotgun dust transactions all over

lemme guess, bitcoinqt was patched to prevent the output of really small amounts, but some random wallet allows it, and now the more established ones have removed the ability to process said dust because

Contrary to Mt. Gox’s Statement, Bitcoin is not at fault
Gavin Andresen Feb 10 2014

The issues that Mt. Gox has been experiencing are due to an unfortunate interaction between Mt. Gox’s implementation of their highly customized wallet software, their customer support procedures, and their unpreparedness for transaction malleability, a technical detail that allows changes to the way transactions are identified.

Transaction malleability has been known about since 2011. In simplest of terms, it is a small window where transaction ID’s can be “renamed” before being confirmed in the blockchain. This is something that cannot be corrected overnight. Therefore, any company dealing with Bitcoin transactions and have coded their own wallet software should responsibly prepare for this possibility and include in their software a way to validate transaction ID’s. Otherwise, it can result in Bitcoin loss and headache for everyone involved.

The Bitcoin core development team has worked to limit transaction malleability. There is broad agreement in the community that this needs to be eliminated. Finding the best and most responsible solution will take time. In the meantime, users of the reference implementation do not need to be concerned. Transactions are always tracked properly by the Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind software.

This is a good reminder that Bitcoin is still young and experimental. There are best practices to think about and account for by those who want to build companies. To help improve both the reference implementation and third party software, the Foundation is committed to working with companies to produce best practices to help improve software.
