Title: Anyone who supports the hard fork is an abomination to the crypto world.

Ethereum will die because of it and finally the crypto world will be purged of you all.

Yes, and because of the vericoin rollback too. Don't forget that one.

Yes, it is ridiculous they're touching and breaking clean ETH because of the DAO fuckup
Next time BTC price drops 80% ill ask ptodd to hardfork it to make the price rise again

I know it was within the rules, as the code is the law, but how could banks and big businesses seriously look at using ETH, if a thief was allowed to walk off with millions of $ worth of coins, just because of the coding error?

ETH seems to want to go mainstream, that isn't very popular on Bitcointalk, but if it is to happen, they need to be able to fix major flaws, rather than just screwing over the little guy who has money stolen from them.
Let's face it, the main reason why the masses shouldn't use bitcoin is because there is too much chance that they will have it stolen from them, if that can be prevented or rectified somehow, then I think main stream use could be massively increased.

I want to see if the courts feel the same way about the 'code being the law'. While this whole thing went down according to contract, the spirit of the act shows that the hacker wasn't acting in good faith. I personally don't have an issue with what happened here, I'm glad this happened now instead of later I mean. But I feel a judge is going to look at this a immediately think 'he stole this money from the other group participants', this is a brand new territory legally we are exploring with this..


Eth should have never picked up the heavy load that is the Slock.it DAO, and now it has to carry said load on its back until it reaches its destination.

That's already been done a few times (for the same reason, a BTC price drop followed by fud/panic - BitcoinClassic?). The difference is that there's no mass migration to the forked chain whereas with ETH everyone will migrate to the new chain.

Moaners gonna moan. If consensus says HF then lets HF. Get over it. ETH <> BTC.

Banks and big businesses take advantages of legal loopholes in the real world.
The code is the law in the ETH world and all players are supposed to play by it.
