Hardfork Confirmed. ETH and DAO Price Soaring.

[Minecache]

Congrats to all the ETH and DAO community for not letting the haters sway their opinion. Let us not forget that ETH and the DAO are not BTC and have never pretended to be so when the great Ethereum community pulls together to vote decisively for a hard fork it is clear that ETH has safe guards against wide scale thefts. Unlike Bitcoin. If you were ever on the fence about purchasing ETH then now is the time to jump in at this current low price.

Wow 2% of the ETH voted and that is supposed to be mandate 

Utilizing the blockchain, a transparent and non-gameable voting method shows that out of more than 1.5 million eth, 97%, valued currently at $15 million, are in favor of the fork, with only just above 40,000 eth against.

Even if 100% had voted, my reaction would remain as follows...

Long live fiat! Hurray!

This is absolutely momentous day for it validates everything I am have been working on¹.

Also PoS (including DPoS) is basically a permissioned, centralized system, because the whales will control it.

If we just wanted a centralized, persmissioned system, then we don't need block chains. We could do that more efficiently. We have it already, it is named Paypal.

The only way you scale this globally, is if nobody owns it. This is why Paypal can't disrupt the existing financial structure of the world. Too many vested interests fighting turf battles.

I don't see price soaring...

Also, I think this is the dumbest thing they could ever do. It goes against all they claimed the DAO would be and it will put a large piece of bought ether for DAO directly on the market.

Would they fork if my project lost "just" 10k ether due to a fault? No. They shouldn't do it now either.

I was pro fork at first but then I realized just how much they violate the principles of a blockchain.. I think Ethereum is in trouble.

Maybe they could make sure it's impossible to HF again to bring legitimacy back..?

Finally we can move on!

Nope. There is no moving on from violating the only reason we even want block chains— which is that we don't have to trust anyone that our contracts will be honored.

Put it to a community vote and see if you get consensus to get your ETH back. If you do then fine you can get it back.

I've said it everytime a coin forks because of exploit, never been wrong yet, and it will remain true til the end of time. If you don't learn from others mistakes, you deserve the hole you dig

Congrats. You just killed your own 'coin'

Good that we have different opinions. It doesn't mean you are right though, nor i.

Agreed. The disgusting vile FUD that's been spread by the haters has been pathetic. If you don't hold ETH you don't get a say in how it's run so why spread FUD? The ETH community has spoke in a landslide consensus.

It is not FUD. It is just our opinion of the point of block chains. Those who agree with you that block chains should be permissioned ledgers like a fiat system or Paypal, will stay with ETH.

But as others are pointing out to you, violating the raison d'être of block chains is very likely to cause you to lose most of the community support. You'll only be left with idiots, R3 bankers, and the whales who've been allegedly pumping this token by manipulating the float on Poloneix and Krakan.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Doesn't mean yours is correct. But I will forward your concerns on to the relevant department.

Anyone involved in Ethereum have repeatedly pointed out to you all that it is not Bitcoin.

How many more times does it need to be repeated to you until it sinks in?

[Minecache]

Ah so Ethereum is a governed token system now with actual departments? This is sounding awefully similar to the government structures that are collapsing all over the world due to corruption and special interests capturing the power vacuum.

I was being facetious. Sorry it needed pointed out.

Freudian slip, because you were actually telling the truth for a change.

I know what I wrote and the purposes of writing it. You however don't.

It's strange that you care so much for something you proclaim to hate. Classic troll.

[americanpegasus]

Together we have broken the social contract of Ethereum and made a mockery of the central banking ledgers we were attempting to replace!

[vuduchyld]

I don't think ETH bagholders ought to start licking each others' popsicles just yet.

It's not a done deal until it's a done deal.  Best of luck...but I will watch this one with no skin in the game. 

[clownius]

Well nice you got a fraction of the community to vote and called it unanimous which means 100% btw not most thats a majority!  You dont even have that!

Seriously ETH no longer has a reason to exist.  Its finished.

Smart contracts are now very obviously flawed and easy to hack due to problems in the base code.  So no point in those.

As for the coin itself well the blockchain is now totally and utterly compromised so even its worthless as you have proven a few large holders have the ability to remove anyones coins with a hardfork and the community considers it a good idea.

If you have a bag of ETH or DAO tokens i suggest you offload before the crash

Nope, it's very correct. Not all opinions are equal, and if you disagree with me on this, yours is shit. This is not opinion; I don't care whether it crashes or not, but it will
