This sums up my view on these recent turn of events.

I find it quite ridiculous that people are trying to lay the blame on not reading an obscure wiki page. I remember reading much of the bitcoin wiki myself and never seeing ANYTHING about not relying on transaction IDs. The API list doesn't even warn you about it.

Why bother returning a transaction ID if it is spoofable? That is simply misleading.

I guess it shows you how how biased all the bitcoin backers are.
