He might the owner of the DAO. I do not own any DAO, but I feel frustrated. I am a miner, I will make sure that attacker does not get anything.
I do not own any DAO's or Ethereum. I was frustrated, because they gathered so much money, yet allowed this to happen. |

John McAfee on YT: "Cryptocurrency is coming and you'll never get that idea back in the box." Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2NpIk1QAFw The BTC price will recover and I think we're also going to see institutional investors begin moving into the altcoins.   Haha, I love this guy. |

Everything is back to normal, but the price difference on BTC-e is still $25 from the average one....

By definition a "hard fork" would require every node to upgrade their software.
(that didn't happen back then - what happened was that some pools decided to downgrade their software because of an issue with the DB that was being used at the time to store blocks)
^ This. But the troll is too busy trolling and he doesn't check his "facts".... I can believe verifiable facts, or I can take your erroneous claim on trust, random guy from the internet.
EDIT: And btw, my real name is in my nickname (Spartak or.. Spartacus) and I am using a real picture for avatar. You are the "random guy from the Internet", not me. |

Isn't the crash because of bitfinex issues?
Bitfinex was down for ~4 hours. I think both bitfinex and BTC-E got DDoSed and people panicked. Hopefully sensible people were taking profits as the price climbed, and had trailing stops on the rest.
The price on BTC-e dropped to $614..... |

...
Bitcoin was never hard forked! |

Looks like price decline has stopped. Looks normal to me. Speculators drive up the price then sell off when they fear a dip. No mystery here.
Probably. Imho, the recent rise in price was not normal so... I also think the DAO has shaken general trust in cryptos. Most people aren't savvy, they just lump all coins and related techs into a single basket.
Tell me about it.... I somehow tried to warn people, but..... |

Bitcoin was hardforked before, because a handful of guys agreed to do it. lrn ur history.
Really? Can you tell me when exactly was hard forked? Looks like I forgot about that...... |

^ Typical forum troll. Let's get into "dicksizing" then. The price of Bitcoin was even $614 on BTC-e, but so what? You do realize that I started this topic 12 days ago? Can you enlight us what happened 4 days ago? Ah, yes... The DAO was screwed with $78 million (at the time of the attack). What they are trying to do now? To fork it! Do you know what that means? It means that they will prove it has central authority. What does DAO stand for? I don't consider myself as a bitcoiner, nor I am against ETH/DAO. I am just for a "better crypto-world"... |

The price on BTC-e is $614 as we speak. Any reason for this?

Agreed, but I did in on purpose. And do you know why? Because most of the people are measuring their holdings in fiat (or Bitcoin), and like the "attacker" said - "Money talks". I hate it, but its the truth... ... I was extremely frustrated, when the DAO crowdsale finished, because (at least to me) it killed the concept of the cryptocurrencies (or tokens/assets... whatever). I'm not gonna call it a scam or a failure, but I will never invest in it.... |

Hello,
Does any of you has coins on EmpoEX and do you have problems with deposit/withdrawal? I can't currently test it.

but come on, $270 MILLION for "something" with such omission in the code? Just one point of observation. Although I've got sympathy with people who lost money, this practice of quoting everything in fiat like the OP has done is a bit over dramatic. Nobody forked over $270 million for anything. If I have 1 million worthless Ether that I bought for $1, then a market trade occurs where 100 Ether are exchanged for $20 each, that suddenly values my $1 Ether at $20 Million. Doesn't mean I paid $20 million for them. I still only paid $1. So, I say to the original poster - yes, bugs occured and people lost money, but nobody ever had $270 Million and it's disingeneous to keep quoting fiat values for anything other than notional appraisal. An exchange rate movement is not the same thing as an actual trade so if you're being honest, the amount lost in terms of $dollar trade is very small compared with the figures you're quoting. Agreed, but I did in on purpose. And do you know why? Because most of the people are measuring their holdings in fiat (or Bitcoin), and like the "attacker" said - "Money talks". I hate it, but its the truth... |

Some mETH heads are really butthurt.
Probably, but you forgot 4 things: 1. The thread is not about who/what we are. 2. I have never ever traded ETH or DAO's and I did said it about 450 times already. 3. I am here with my realname. 4. It is me on the picture. So, please, tell me... are you sure you are not with schizophrenia? |

This iamnotback guy is really something. He would post replies asap, then edit them, adding more sentences and put about 12 million more quotes, which are irrelevant to the subject of the thread.

I'm not sure why people keep posting new threads to make fun with The DAO, Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin. We saw videos, memes and everything, but the truth is that personally this failure makes me angry.
You are right it is not funny. But people are responding with memes and jokes simply because the Ether hype got so extreme (for example I got spammed with dozens of personal messages on reddit, promoting ether, as did everyone who ever posted on the r/bitcoin subreddit). It's the extreme promotion that has made people respond with jokes. What is not funny is how Butalik made this worse at every stage since inception until now with his promotion of a vote, which ruined the chance of a 30% haircut and saving Ethereum from destruction. And yet spartak_t blames us instead of blaming the true culprit.We are laughing at how stoopid these guys are. They can't even point their finger in the correct direction. Are you with schizophrenia or something? Have you read this thread, which I posted on 9th June (8 days before the attack)?! |
