VeriCoin is dead no matter what, IMO, rollback or not. The best the devs could do is start a new coin and advice everyone to be smarter about coin storage. Hard-forking in this case is a misunderstanding and a disregard of the principles that bitcoin was founded on.

bullshit
This is not even an option.
Blame Mintpal not Vericoin. Rollback is a must. If Vericoin doesn't rollback then it will be worth NOTHING. The coin will be DEAD.
There is a reason why Bitcoin transactions aren't arbitrarily reversed after thefts.
There shouldn't be a rollback. A hardfork to undo this is worse than the thief dumping the coins. Mintpal are just trying to erase their losses here.
there was no theft of that scale in bitcoin. this comparison is total bullshit.
if a entity would have over 51% hash power then that would compare to what is happening.
by not forking the hacker(s) will have control over the network you idiots

Actually no, its not, accountability standards are & thats why I trade only on US based cryptsy, where they are required by law to have 3rd party audits.

So somebody stole $2,000,000 of coins and thought that he would get away with it?
Like nobody would notice.
Idiots!

Apples & oranges @ no time was almost 30% of ALL BTC stolen.
Edit: This is also not an MP bail out, its PROTECTING the holders & users of the coin. MP will undoubtedly suffer irreversible losses from this most importantly community trust.

it's not clear if who has VRC inside mintpal, can have the coin back after the market will be reopen.

While there is no satisfying solution to all of this... I would have to agree with Mr_Random. A rollback at the very least, is just as bad as the thief dumping coins.

So to put things in perspective, you'd be okay with absolutely nothing being done about a simultaneous 33% acquisition of the bitcoin supply by a malicious thief along with 51% of the network hash by that same person?

Here's the first of several I'm sure: http://cryptocrimson.com/2014/07/mintpal-exchange-suffers-massive-vericoin-hack/

Using an exchange that is by law required to have 3rd party auditing is wise. Hence why I trade only @ Cryptsy.
July 13, 2014, 03:28:47 PM
guys this why need a decentralized exchange somthing like this http://bithalo.org/
No, its why exchanges need to be held to a higher standard, a& be registered, so they are by law bound to 3rd party auditing. This is why I trade sizable qty only on cryptsy.
Any centralised exchange can be hacked.
Decentralized exchanges like bithalo which are trustless by design, are safer by definition. They are the future.
July 13, 2014, 03:28:33 PM
I will ask again, whats the ETA on the fork?
July 13, 2014, 03:28:24 PM
I guess MP will start an investigation against the attackers. Looks like a legit company, so some private investigators need to be hired.

Even a rollback is highly problematic because it compromises integrity of the blockchain. Either way this is a tragedy... I still cannot understand why VRC was the only target.
July 13, 2014, 03:25:09 PM
I still show my full VRC balance in MintPal. Does this mean my coins by chance were not part of what was stolen? Has anyone seen the balance actually affected or do they just not update.
My VRC balance looks unaffected, but the grand total (in estimated BTCs) doesn't make sense, is like if all the other coins counted but not the VRCs, can anyone check?
Eth.
Mintpal:
VRC 786.xxxxx
Est. Total BTC 0.00000000
I've moved all my other cryptos to other exchanges - better to do smth than just wait.
Wrong = put your coin in your wallet . Transfer to an exchange just when you need to sell . Isn't it a good lesson to learn today ?
Do you think cryptsy is safe , or bittrex or any other exchange ?
STAKE YOUR COIN in cold storage and transfer to an exchange only when needed .
I think this TIME : PUMP AND DUMP IS OVER = PEOPLE WILL NOT STORE THEIR COINS IN EXCHANGES .
Wow that would be GREAT if pump and dump were over!!! Doubt that's the case though.

No, I wouldn't. Even if you type in huge red letters. Anyone who understands the true point of the blockchain will agree with me
You going to answer my question? I only posted it one minute before the one you responded to. Shit, answer it on your main account since you obviously mistakenly posted on your "coin name"-themed "dev" account.
Rollback destroys all integrity of the block chain. You may as well go back to using dollars if you want to have a solution as moronic as a rollback. Honestly, anyone for it is either a) new as hell and totally clueless on what the block chain does and what cryptos are, or b) trying to kill this coin and MintPal
Simple as that. You are either stupid or just FUD'ing if you support a rollback. I expect flak from tons of new accounts starting...NOW

Says the "dev" of another coin that's a new account itself. Did you forget to login to your main account there?
Let's ask you this same question and see if you have no response like everyone else:
So you think a guaranteed ongoing 51% attack or an insta-dump is a better alternative?
Please explain why.
July 13, 2014, 03:20:35 PM
Even if this guy dumps at 1 satoshi.....
