Title: Ether hacker problem: soft or hardfork? Post by: yoona on June 20, 2016, 09:42:16 PM Well I have to admit that the concept of these soft-/hardfork are fairly new to me, and that the proper concept and use of ETH is something I'm still getting into, but considering the DAO/ETH hacker problem, why would you not softwork the protocol where the funds (the transaction/blocks wherein his eth was moved) of the hacker are blocked?
(This might be a stupid question considering I don't understand the contracts in eth as I should, but does anyone have a proper explanation somewhere? I have been googling for a while now, but other than the fact that you can upload 'small programs' to the eth blockchain, I don't quite get the point, or the use of the contracts yet... Thanks in advance :p ) Title: Re: Ether hacker problem: soft or hardfork? Post by: Seggbek Ur on June 20, 2016, 09:44:02 PM I think the hard fork is the best option.
