Title: Update about the DAO issue/hardfork?
Post by: sumantso on July 14, 2016, 10:33:03 AM
I assume the hardfork should be done within a few days to prevent the smart guy who actually understood the contract from enjoying his 3.5m ETH? If so, how is the voting going, or will the hardfork go ahead anyway? What a mess, should've just cut off DAO and bit the bullet and take that 3.5m loss. Other coins were stolen and survived - I remember BTER negotiating with the NXT hacker.

I also came across this tweet (from Polo trollbox), which was apparently deleted:

What is a reward attack anyway?

Disclosure: I have been shorting ETH as they considered the hardfork (I can't support this, goes against the very ethos of what we stand here, IMHO). However, I would like to see a balanced discussion with facts here, especially as news have been very hard to come by.
