The buck stops here.
So a bitcointalk forum user "BitcoinExpress" has decided to destroy the Monero currency within a 72 hour period.

Naturally the price has plummeted after he posted his threat. What do you think, is it possible that Monero and all cryptonote coins have a fatal unrealized flaw?
 
As far as I understood BitcoinExpress has offered a fix but it looks like the monero devs didnt take him serious.
 
If they do fix it some risk-takers will do well though I think the very fact it had such an exploit at all will always haunt it.

If it's true what he says, fixing it will void moneros anonymity feature. This is a killer if true.

Yes it would be. Buying Monero before Tuesday is similar to playing roulette. I'm undecided.

So, after all, Monero can't be a scary rival to DRK?

No, Darkcoin is total different technology.

What if someone somewhere somehow can find a way to break Darksend, even after Evan has fixed all bugs and loopholes he knows? (I guess he will just have to keep fixing bugs until it's 1000% secure?) :)

Well that will be the thing one day
What happens if !
Honestly if we really want to show the world how anonymous (and hardcore) we are
we would throw out a Bounty for anybody to try to track one of our transactions !!!
(maybe not now, but that would be the real test, and great PR !!)

Ya, I think it will happen once the bugs have been fixed and DS is open sourced.

Seconded. Great idea for a PR-contest!
