[Plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com] Comments Not Working

ok, i hacked together a little work around
since the button only works if registration is not required, i changed the code so it thinks that registration is never required.
im not sure about the downstream affects of this are, but it seems to work for me.

so in this file(you can edit this from your dashboard under Plugins->Editor):
wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/comments/comments.php
on line 172
i commented out this line (by adding two forward slashes):
'comment_registration' => ( get_option( 'comment_registration' ) ? '1' : '0' ), // Need to explicitly send a '1' or a '0' for these
and put this below:
'comment_registration' => '0',

so basically the modified code in context should look this:

$params  = array(
			'blogid'               => Jetpack::get_option( 'id' ),
			'postid'               => get_the_ID(),
			//'comment_registration' => ( get_option( 'comment_registration' ) ? '1' : '0' ), // Need to explicitly send a '1' or a '0' for these
'comment_registration' => '0',
			'require_name_email'   => ( get_option( 'require_name_email' )   ? '1' : '0' ),
			'stc_enabled'          => $stc_enabled,
			'stb_enabled'          => $stb_enabled,
			'show_avatars'         => ( get_option( 'show_avatars' )         ? '1' : '0' ),
			'avatar_default'       => get_option( 'avatar_default' ),
			'greeting'             => get_option( 'highlander_comment_form_prompt', __( 'Leave a Reply', 'jetpack' ) ),
			'color_scheme'         => get_option( 'jetpack_comment_form_color_scheme', $this->default_color_scheme ),
			'lang'                 => get_bloginfo( 'language' ),
			'jetpack_version'      => JETPACK__VERSION,
		);

users still have to login to comment, but the button works now, at least for me

i am using a custom theme generated using Artisteer version 3.1.0.56360

Running WordPress Version 3.4.1

i undid my changes (for the workaround) and everything seems to work fine now

i did add a few other plugins and updated a few plugins as well as my theme so im not sure what change might have caused/fixed the problem

i can try to figure out all the changes ive made over the past few weeks if you need, but everything seems to be working fine now (at least for me)

thanks for your help!
