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 Some things are no brainers, but I will take some time to wrap my head around the concept of a "stoppable chain" that seems sufficiently unique to put Komodo far apart from other altcoins.

When a coin is in alpha-like phases - issues need to be sorted - (ETH is perhaps a good example - yes?)

In return he sends jl777 his excess falsely created coins which get burnt. Then equivalent number coins that hacker keeps is burnt from dev premine funds. Overall effect on coin supply is zero, emission bug fixed, hacker gets a bounty paid from dev premine coins. Much better solution. How can you unscramble hacker dumping of coins that will soon not exist after rollback? The rollback option is far more trouble.

If the attacker wanted a bounty, he/she should have put a white hat on. Now the attacker can go eat a dick.
Issue is avoiding a rollback, which is still possible

You cant compare that. The Blockchain Technology was new, the commmunty small and there where no alternatives. Today there are way more competitors and you have to pay for every single mistake. Rollback is the only thing you can do now. But it will be hard for the reputation.. very hard.

I can just agree with that. The network is still young, it should be cleaned up after such a mess.

Cryptox just removed Komodo trading option for now.
It was trading at 3k there. some trades were made all the way to couple hundred satoshis so attacker sold coins there. Interesting to see what they do.
Will some traders lose their bitcoins that were used to buy counterfeit-Komodos? How much monopoly-Komodos were possibly wwithdrawn and bitcoins??
