Title: Poll: Rollback, No Rollback?
Post by: bitsalame on June 21, 2011, 02:18:08 AM

No matter. What the community thinks that they SHOULD do?

In that case, I don't think they should do a rollback.  If you want a free market, then you accept the pitfalls.  I don't recall any mullligans in the stock market when it fell due to manipulation.

Before you:
A) Create such a polls or
B) Vote on such a polls,

you really have to know what exactly is going on.

What happened is, that the database got compromised, and possibly, fake transactions have been made with bitcoins that didn't exist, on the MtGox website.
On that website, the coins are just numbers of variables. I counted that, in order to make this crash happen, a total of 51 million bitcoins had to be sold.
Since there are only 6,5 million bitcoins available, you know that something else must have happened, in this case: the coins that got sold just didn't exist.

Asking to NOT rollback the transactions, doesn't make any sense at all. The transactions all HAVE TO be rollbacked simply because they were forged, they were fake, they had nothing to do with real bitcoins, they didn't have any value to begin with.

So this poll is just silly, seriously.
