Thus, the built-in validation model that comes with bitcoin was being "worked around". Could you be a bit more specific about transaction? A Bitcoin transaction /has/ to go into the blockchain. An MtGox internal transaction normally wouldn't. A trade definitely wouldn't, as it bridges fiat and crypto. References 1. mailto:fyl@a42.com
