Given that about 30% of total VRC have been stolen and that 51% of staking coins are sufficient to gain control of the blockchain, I would guess that it is a pretty high possibility that use of the stolen coins to fork the chain would be successful. So, I understand why the devs would roll back the chain, as the loss of control would likely be permanent otherwise.
Now, about the viability of BC clone PoS coins, you've just seen a major weakness in an attack that didn't cost a lot with regard to fiat currency spent to accomplish it. Investors should think long and hard about what happened here, this could be a death blow to this type of PoS...
Please read before you make false assumptions.
It was a MINTPAL issue, not a POS.
The hackers never minted a penny from what I seen, you need to mint to get any % attack.
Also, you think, YOU THINK, just maybe they moved them all to 1 wallet to scare you people who lack the thought process to decide something for yourself?
Is a reason they didn't withdraw, the fact that they moved them all to 1 wallet shows they wanted to effect peoples heads more than anything. You have all these people with conspirary theories now coming out of no where. That Mintpal hack may be a team of people, would it suprise you for them to attack the coin now since they couldn't steal any money? Maybe they are mad. You see people here who never posted all of a sudden really excited about FUD'in VRC.
