CoinDashers, soon we will get the site back and release our official announcement about what just happened
Everyone who participate, both with the right & fraud address will get his CDT
Pleases be patient as we are trying to make things clear
Pleases? Really? What a bunch of amateurs you are. And you expect people to actually deposit funds to a trading platform when you can't even protect a simple front-page from hacks?
I'm still skeptical but if this is true, no need to really be a dick here. If it's not a scam they're probably working overtime to try to assuage fears and a typo on bitcoin talk is an absurd thing to get pissed about. Again though, this only stands so long as they keep their word.
While the hack will definitely cast a shadow over the ico and lower the initial price short term, I also think that if they handle this appropriately in the next few hours and reallly deliver, the long term value will remain. I won't lie and say I wasn't planning on potentially selling ico coins when they hit the exchange, but I also liked this project enough such that I plan to buy back in once the initial exchange dump happens to hold long term if they can fix this mess.
Would it decrease the value? Think about it; a hacked company which refunds money out of their own pockets. The down side is that they got hacked initially and that harms their trustability.
They are not refunding
money though. There refunding tokens that are not worth jack shit if people can't trust the security of their platforms. If they were to refund the 7 million in ether then sure, maybe people could start moving past it. For now they're refunding us with worthless tokens.
That is why they need to do something to make them have a worth.
Reduce the 12million cap, to 3million now that they've lost 7million. Devs shouldn't be trusted with any more than that.
Burn some tokens, out of the security developers wallet would be the best start since he is shit
this will help with weighting out the negative news and hopefully create a stable demand when listed on an exchange.
Burning tokens would help, but don't get me wrong, I agree with everyone else that the value is definitely going to be impacted short term. However, the reality is that most of these ICOs, including the responsible ones, are raising multiples of what any comparatively sized startup in Silicon Valley raises at their stage of growth. There's no way a team this small at this stage should have a burn rate of 1M+ a month, so rationally speaking the next six months to a year are pretty much going to go as though the hack never happened.
That said, it's not like crypto markets behave rationally, so I don't expect that to be the general outlook. On top of that, it's not even crazy not to trust a trading platform that can't secure their own shit, so I'm not entirely hopeful that this project survives this, just pointing out that there is a way where they still can succeed, but it's going to be a Herculean task to pull off and I'm not sure they're up for it.
