I support the roll back. Arguments of blockchain immutability are irrelevant here as the attackers actions rendered the blockchain mutable
No , the attacker found an exploitable bug, and the blockchain is being rewound to undo it, but now we all can ask, 'what else would warrant rewind of blockchain', and this is the problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_bitcoinQuote On 6 August 2010, a major vulnerability in the bitcoin protocol was spotted. Transactions weren't properly verified before they were included in the transaction log or blockchain, which let users bypass bitcoin's economic restrictions and create an indefinite number of bitcoins. On 15 August, the vulnerability was exploited; over 184 billion bitcoins were generated in a transaction, and sent to two addresses on the network. Within hours, the transaction was spotted and erased from the transaction log after the bug was fixed and the network forked to an updated version of the bitcoin protocol. This was the only major security flaw found and exploited in bitcoin's history. The highlighted portion is essentially what has happened. The difference is that bitcoin knew about it for over a week, while we didnt find out about it until the attack was under way. Also, I announced in realtime block 235300, which is the stopping of a chain. If there is a bug in the future that allows to totally bypass the coin emission, then we will fix that to. You can count on that.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

You said it yourself an exploitable bug. Something that should not have been there. No reason to keep it in when It was not supposed to be there in the first place Comparing this to the Bter hack is disingenuous as well as that was a 3rd party exchange that got hacked and not the system itself.

Not sure what youmean exactly, there are infinite reasons people might want a rollback, not just bigbrother, that's the point, it's possible now in komodo ecosystem with this precedent, so it's a huge unknown risk factor for all users from now on. Nobody can say it wouldn't happen again in a way that disadvantages regular users, just can't say that ever again. We have lost the claim to immutable blockchain, forever.

@jl777, I have made my point, I know you would be stressed by this, so I send you my best wishes!
I also point out that listening to 20 'yes' men agreeing with you is often less valuable than someone who disagrees with you. This is a HUGE moment!
I hope it all works out for the best.
Boom out

Edit: Komodo classic would be a disaster!
Yeah OK... because Ethereum Classic is doing so well compared to Ethereum... Ethereum Classic is better than Ethereum for crypto true believers, I don't think kmd classic is viable, but plenty will exit kmodo over this all the same

It does not matter whether or not there is an attack as an investor. It is important that our loss is met or not.

For those that dont understand that a coin's emission and supply are the MOST important things for people to trust, I am not sure what to say. A coin that is allowed to be created out of thin air would lose a lot more trust than stopping the chain at an announced block in realtime and then doing what you said you would do

this is not a rollback to bail out some exchange that got hacked.
the attacker has generated another 27 blocks in the last hour and at this pace he would generate much more than 10 million KMD by the 236000 block with the original bugfix trigger.
It is a bug that was not found by a white hat, but by someone who repeatedly exploits the same bug over and over.
I did not block the first exploit of the bug, that can be considered a bounty. But beyond that, it is like handing in the same thing over and over again expecting to be paid for it.
I never said the code is the law. The miner reward has been stated to be 3 KMD per block, not 100003 KMD. It is a chain stoppage due to a critical bug. People have relied on 3 KMD per block as mining reward, so to allow 100003 KMD as a reward would violate things a lot more than stopping the chain at 235300.
I will use common sense for this. Also, in the future if there is some other critical bug that dramatically changes what everyone's understanding is, then I will likely fix it and stop the chain, etc.
Its a no brainer - roll back or its dead Komodo
