Christian Reitwießner Announces New Release of Solidity
Christian Reitwießner just announced the latest release of Solidity over on reddit, and is answering comments there. You may recall I made a little post with lots of red letters a few pages back about him.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4x42o8/solidity_version_036_released/?st=irr1ewnv&sh=54efad63Here's a comment that I just left for him:
"Chris - Please respond to this Bitcointalk post :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1559630.msg15875878#msg15875878 . The DAO hacks, both black hat and white hat, took detailed knowledge of Solidity. Do you really claim that you or and every member of your development team had zero involvement with all DAO hacks? YOU MUST ADDRESS THIS IN A PUBLIC FORUM. Please do it now."
Maybe you've got a comment you would also like to leave directly for Chris there, and express your opinion on how his Solidity language has impacted your personal finances. Particularly if you have any ETC due back to you from the DAO "Robin Hood Group"...
Another reddit of interest, just out in the past half hour:
Follow Up Statement on the ETC Salvaged from attackDAOs https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4xasg3/follow_up_statement_on_the_etc_salvaged_from/?st=irr1dbga&sh=41e88fc6"Following the events of the last 24 hours we want to keep the community updated:
After having received repeated legal threats from various individuals holding significant stakes in The DAO (still continuing), we sought legal advice to help us pursue our goal without endangering ourselves or the salvaged funds. We found support and legal advice from Bity SA, a trusted Swiss entity. It has agreed to protect, secure and later distribute the funds equitably under an independent Swiss legal structure. The number 1 goal has always been to ensure that the salvaged funds are distributed in a fair, transparent and just manner. This remains unchanged.
When the salvaged ETC were able to be recovered,
signals were received from the greater community to distribute these ETC in ETH, to continue to support Ethereum projects. Also, a large portion of the community does not have the technical ability to safely work both with ETC and ETH in the same address; therefore,
returning part of salvaged ETC in ETH seemed to be the safest for all the parties involved. The first actions from the Swiss structure took place Tuesday August 9th and it preferred to not announce the movement of ETC in advance to avoid speculators taking advantage of the situation. Part of these funds are still on exchanges and the rest of the funds are held in the following accounts:
ETC Multisig: 0x1ac729d2db43103faf213cb9371d6b42ea7a830f ETH Multisig: 0xd3b0b4fc31ee1f8570c75c19caa93cc1557e538f BTC Multisig: 3JYwxuaHGKt8rZ9NbTEcyYRXtqkfN5Lz5Y
It has now become clear that
this approach will introduce many unnecessary complications and wouldn’t bring certainty to all DAO Token Holders that they would be treated equally and with fairness. The objective evolved from the most desirable outcome (distributing ETH and ETC) to the most efficient and comprehensible distribution solution, that
all funds will be made available in ETC to the DAO Token Holders. To achieve this, all exchanges will be asked to return the funds to the Multisig wallets.
We would like to thank the community for their trust and ask for their patience as the responsibility of returning this value to the DAO Token Holders is not an easy task. We are under a lot of pressure, but throughout this process we will continue to do the best that we can to protect the interests of the DAO Token Holders.
All the legal and technical work of the community members and the companies involved, has always been on a volunteer and pro-bono basis. Following our first statement, members of the community have expressed their keenness to donate crypto assets in recognition for the efforts deployed to salvage the ETC from the attackDAOs and to distribute it back to the community. Accordingly, it will be possible to donate when retrieving the funds. We will communicate next with a detailed plan for the distribution."
MAL SPEAKING AGAIN: SOMEBODY CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG - DOESN'T THIS MEAN 7.8M ETH (9.5% OF TOTAL SUPPLY) ARE ABOUT TO BE IRREVERSIBLY CONVERTED TO ETC? What's the total spendable coins on each blockchain if this goes through?
