heh, wellnow, a bit of a hobbyist in coding myself im not gonna hack & sneer on the "why did you not see the bug in the complex system in your crystal ball up front", windows gets patched all the time, LINUX even more and you cant say those people are retards, right.
BUT and HOWEVER, the communication ....
leaving people in the dark without even a few everysomanyhour-updates, EVEN if they only say we are working on it, does not show respect, no offense but it doesnt... the rest is unforeseen, however do i remember correctly LAST time someone triggered the failsafe by withdrawing a negative amount ? is this one related to that one ? in that case ... well never mind hah im sure there will be more, good you have failsafes in place
We apologize for not communicating more. Part of the problem was that the incidents occurred over a holiday weekend which was at the end of a very long week for the team due to the initial halt followed by the delegation bug. Part of the problem was also of course that steemit.com was down. Which is why we did tweet from @steemit. So if you're not following us on Twitter, please do as it is a good way to disseminate information during incidents like these. These aren't intended as excuses, but explanations. We are always trying to improve all of our systems including communications, and we plan to learn from this incident and do better next time.
maybe add community communication members to the task force next time, people like @exyle would be perfect
