    title: If Rodolfo Novak spent 1/100th of the time he spent talking shit on X on reviewing his code we would still have our coins
    body:
    Totally dishonorable and cowardice behavior from him over the past week along with the CTO, Peter Gray (who introduced the bug). $100 million missing and they have done nothing but gone silent. And then coinkite comes out with some statement about "earning back our trust". Go fuck yourselves, the rest of your life should be nothing but devoted to helping out the people who lost their savings due to your faulty product. Imagine a civil engineer's bridge collapsing and them just shrugging their shoulders, "sorry about that". 
    
    There are thousands of lives ruined due to their negligence. And all they can say is "we're going to have to do a lot to earn your trust"? Talked shit nonstop on twitter, but when Rodolfo's and Peter's backs are actually against the wall they've proved to be incredible incompetent and dishonorable cowards.
    
    I lost .7 BTC, hopefully I can earn that back in my life.    
      
    Rodolfo Novak and Peter Gray have lost all honor and that's never returning.

    the silence is the worst part. not even a half decent explanation for what happened just empty PR words and then disappear..7 btc is a lot to lose like that sorry you're in this mess
    
      
    when you build something that holds people's money you got a responsibility that goes way beyond normal business. a bridge collapses and the engineer hides in office refusing to speak that's exactly what this feels like

    Losing 0.7 btc to a coding error from a "security" team is painful
