I might be wrong, but hanging to one word in the post leads to missing the point of all the post.
I think you're the one who is missing the point - you can't speak for everyone based on your own feelings.
Just tried to make a point that in these times the strength of a community comes to question.
In this case it seems that there is no wish of the community/devs to solve the mintpal issue internally.
It has been solved in other communities, and other cases similar to this one have been solved internally.
Yea, like when the bitcoin community repaid all the people who lost money in the mt.gox fiasco...oh yea that never happened. What are you talking about? What are we all supposed to pour money into a fund because some unwise/inexperienced people left their entire holdings on an exchange wallet - an exchange that was hacked for a huge amount of vericoin only a couple of months ago and then was bought out recently by an unsavory character? What exactly do mean solve the issue internally, and which other communities have done this? Can you be more specific or show some examples?
So why should anyone who lost all his/her coins would like to buy coins now when he/she was left alone?
What do mean left alone? That we should all pay for other people's mistakes?
And what example is it to new potential investors?
First rule of cryptoclub is don't talk about cryptocl...err, I mean, don't leave all your coins on exchanges, and especially don't leave them all on one single exchange that was recently hacked and is now being taken over by a shady person with a fake name. Pretty good example imo.
