You're selling NXT back to BTER at 0.000002 btc per nxt. I'll buy them for 0.000003 btc per nxt. That's 50% more for holding all the risk of being forked myself while you have safe BTC. I got BTC ready to send instantly. Thank you very much!

Negotiations on blockchain - the future of collecting ransom
Surprised Bter had such lazy security in the first place.
This is BTER's explanation.
This is actually pretty freaking awesome to watch.
Now let me go grab some popcorn.

It's going to get better, I think. 110BTC in the thief's account now. I don't know where the extra 10 came from - and even if the 70BTC came from BTER.

It looks like the hacker may have just exploited a weakness in his account security, not BTER itself. 90% of passwords the same? Ugh, password managers, please!
Really interested to see how this turns out.

The courteous thief/hacker made an account and posted on the Nxt forum.
Moments later, BTER sent him 20BTC.

Okay, Guys - Let me apologise - but the deal is off.
I'm not going to stay here for hours waiting for him to send the bitcoins. I been almost hour since the first batch of NXT was sent to him, I'm not going to stay hours waiting for his send batch of his bitcoins.
I got things to do, than sit around and wait.
Lets see if the one exchanges lack of impenitence will ruin whole NXT community.
Good luck, all!

Why did Bter send 20 BTC after this?
I don't think the details about the hacker are correct. Very likely those are stolen too.
After BTER made the first installment, the thief sent over 5m NXT.
Then BTER asked them to send the second batch of 5m before they continue to make payment and waited.
The thief called their bluff and threatened to break nego and leave. BTER rushed off another 20BTC, but as of now, the thief's wallet balance remains at 46m.

The details are the Bter guy's details...

From the hacker: "Lin used same password for 90% of his services including his linode account."

Wow. Could they really be that dumb?

I think they are I am a bit stupid.

Interesting that the ransom BTC address is not new, it has been used before. https://blockchain.info/address/13UZjKkhHWyTmQ4mx28WT5Wj1zw4pEByZw
That may be useful.
That may be useful.
Now we will see if NXT is decentralized or not 
rollback = centralized
rollback = centralized
Not really. It takes all the decentralised nodes to agree and form a consensus.
That's like calling Bitcoin centralised every time they upgrade the software.
haha what?
When bitcoin upgrades the software there is no rollback
Do you not see the difference?
How is x amount of individuals separate from each other centralised?
When Bitcoin upgrades the software or has a hard fork the miners and the nodes need to agree on using and mining on a new chain(in the case of a hard fork).
It's a decentalised consensus either way.
That's the whole point of decentalisation. That it takes the majority to make changes.
I'm not saying that I necessarily support the forgers choosing to roll back or not though. But it clearly isn't a centralised decision.
