What I'm concerned about are people who have signed non-disclosure \n\u003e agreements or who's salary/equity/whatever depend on people who are experts\n\u003e at manipulating markets to take naive investors money.\n\u003e \n\u003e Independent is also a state of mind as much as it is about financial connections.\n\u003e \n\u003e What pisses me off here is that a huge amount of wealth just changed hands based\n\u003e on MtGox's press release, and it stinks of insider trading. I still maintain the\n\u003e best outcome would be for MtGox to AGPLv3 release their code, and then those of \n\u003e us that understand it would be able to have a public technical discussion about\n\u003e how to fix it, and MtGox would still maintain their intellectual property\n\u003e ownership position.\n\u003e \n\u003e This, however, cuts off a significant revenue stream for people who take money\n\u003e making market bets 5 minutes before the information goes public, so I expect\n\u003e the likelyhood of such an outbreak of sanity is quite low.\n\u003e \n\u003e [1] http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2014/02/10/mt-gox-blames-bitcoin-core-developer-greg-maxwell-responds/\n\u003e \n\u003e \n\u003e DISCLAIMER: I have a significant emotional investment in copyleft/viral copyright\n\u003e development models, and I expect to take a lot of money charging people to write\n\u003e code I give away for free. I also occasionally make money from cryptocurrency\n\u003e mining, but only when I can sell it in functional and transparent markets.\n\u003e \n\u003e ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\u003e Android\u0026trade; apps run on BlackBerry\u0026reg;10\n\u003e Introducing the new BlackBerry 10.2.1 Runtime for Android apps.\n\u003e Now with support for Jelly Bean, Bluetooth, Mapview and more.\n\u003e Get your Android app in front of a whole new audience.
