This design looks strangely familiar... :)

A few thoughts. I agree with you, which is why we are currently going through a third party security audit in addition to the impromptu peer review by Andreas the day MtGox went down and our normal reviews by accountants. We also hired a director of security from FB. Also, there were rate limits, just not well tuned enough. So it's definitely in focus for us.

Hope this helps clarify

We are pushing some changes to rate limiting - this wasn't clear in the original post and I just edited. Thanks for the heads up.

There is no full list, and there is no leak. We're drafting a more formal response now.

Agree, strikes me as a good idea.

Fred from Coinbase here - this isn't true. Would be interested to hear why you'd think this though!

There are still a few lingering issues, which we've been working hard to fix and will be looking at again today. To those affected, I'm very sorry for the wait. Funds are safe, it's just a question of opening the pipes properly to let them flow normally.
