The hacker just returned 12 1/3 Million additional NXT to BTER.
+ 6 Mil ... + 10 Mil Which about solves it. That's good news, how many Nxt does the hacker still have left to return?

He returned 42 M NXT because BTER made a deal with him and apparently paid him 440 BTC A good deal for BTER. 42M NXT worth around 1.3M dollars and 440 BTC only worth around 220k dollars. Still, won't it be cheaper to convince NXT developers to rollback the transaction and threaten to pass the cost back NXT investors?

But NXT holders are no retards and know how big of damage a rolllback would be.

You can't rollback the blockchain every time someone drops the ball on a big pile of NXT. We're playing by big boy rules now.

Unpopular opinion, but i think NXT devs should of been a bigger man here and step up with rollback. It all depends on the method that was used to steal the coins in the first place, but since NXT is still rather small , it wouldnt be so hard to roll back the transactions. I would never pay thief to return funds, i would rather put a bounty on his head for the same amount.

The theft vector was pretty much the same as it always is: weak password security, this time on BTER. So, the loss had nothing to do with the NXT technology. The problem with doing a rollback to correct a human mistake is the question of where do you draw the line? Today a rollback for BTER, then what ? Rollback every time something happens we don't like ? And I need to keep pointing this out: Devs on their own could NOT force a rollback: a majority of the community would have to actively support the revised blockchain via forging. Anyhow, good result for NXT, and a narrow escape for BTER. A good deal for BTER. 42M NXT worth around 1.3M dollars and 440 BTC only worth around 220k dollars.

I hear ya But Cyrpto does need some protection from hackers. The masses will never adopt it fully until they feel there money is safe. And no matter how much you explain how much safer it is than at the mercy of institutions people just won't believe it. Because lets face it, People are generally morons.
