Is it a joke? Parity Tech full list of affected adresses which are frozen.

[will_k]

This is huge, Gav has no way to clean this mess, he is done, both parity and polka. Do they have any QA or bug bounty at all? There is no way to 'fix' this unfortunately, and I hope Vitalik wont fork anything, he has ETH reputation to run...

That is terrible, I am not a technical guy and I just want to know, what is the reason that caused this problem? I can understand since the wallet key should be kept in the user and does that means the key is lost?

This is what also comes to my mind..Hoping someone here could clear our bit of confusion..

Multi-signature addresses mate, the data library for the server side of the multi-signature addresses om parity got killed accidentally by a newbie in a

Smart contract, someone killed the library by using the self destruct function on smart contracts within Eth blockchain, it's like a 2 part private key with

Bitcoin vanity addresses, you'll have only half the private key and the pool or person who generated that address for you would only have another half.

Imagine thousands of Bitcoin addresses losing access to half of their private keys, any coin stored on those addresses would be lost forever unless devs

Roll back, hard fork and move the funds to new addresses, Eth has to do a hard fork to do that otherwise $150M lost for good.

The person took ownership of the library contract (that's where the bug is), and then decided to self destruct the library contract

How will a hard fork let people regain access to the inaccessible wallets?

Ok , guys.

Polkadot ICO wallet was screwed up and aprox. $150M is probably frozen forever.  Exactly 485.331 ETH + there are plenty other adresses which are affected


FROZEN ADRESSES LIST

It is unbelivable Gavin Wood and company loosed all founds ($150M) just in 2 week.  

This is not the first time. I was never involved before, but now my money is in that frozen/unoperable wallet of Polkadot ICO.
I am affected too, by serious errors of Parity Tech. I belive Parity will find some solution, but it seriously harm reptation of Parity. Even they not directly involved in Polkadot Network development.



Gavin motherfucker Wood you screwed yourself now bro. Is it instant Karma for not so recent multisig wallet , when $35M was hacked? Man, man,man...

I hope REFUND for participants will be granted soon.

 

Not only the Parity will be affected but it might be the whole ethereum coin reputation as well because i think this is not the first time in which a known ethreum wallet exchange was hacked, that some people might afraid and think now that ethereum is not safe to invest anymore because of this constant hacking events in which the ethereum is involved.

It will be impossible to get a refund, unless some very generous person shoulders the bill.

Are you saying no one is liable for the losses if this turns out to be an irreversible lockup? Once investors have transferred the funds, isn't the team on the receiving end responsible for managing their wallet properly?

[Spoetnik]

ETH was so good and so secure a NOOB by accident broke it ?  

Inbeforeanother fork aahahahhaha

ETH = SCAM.

I've been saying that since it's ICO in 2014.

You get what you deserve investards.


EDIT:

I wonder if they can be held liable for this mess.

Free market.. no laws.. decentralized.. open source.. no banks! ..no regulations !

CALL THE COPS !!!

AHHAHA derpty derppppty derp fuckin' hypocrite bitch chumps.
The cops will laugh at you all for being a scammy ass greedy idiot participating in a pyramid scheme.

It never fails to amuse the shit out of me when you all chant no laws then bolt to calling the cops.
You make me sick people.. you are sad & pathetic..

Ethereum did exactly what is was supposed to. You can't blame Ethereum for ParityTech's bug and not having their code audited much like you can't blame the gun for a pinguin shooting himself in the foot.

[rehydrogenated]

The Dropdeck project is saying they were hit by the parity bug and do not have access to any of the funds from their ICO. I want to believe them and look up more about this parity bug. The timing of their announcement is a bit weird. I feel like someone should be held accountable. This is pretty unique in the crypto world where you invest and people just disappear with the money or the money gets locked due to some weird bug. Thieves can just blame the bug and hide behind the obscurity.
