There were two possible scenarios.
1. Everyone (white listers and those that got scammed) get the token that is worthless and only after many months might be worth a bit (but probably still below ICO price).
2. White list would get possibility of instant refund (which they might agree to or they might keep their tokens) that would instantly boost confidence in the project and make CDT valuable and priced above the ICO. Those who sent to the scammy address would get CDT that would be valued above the ICO. Everyone would profit and everyone would be happy.
Now, because people who were not on the white list didn't want second option because they do not understand how things work, everyone will be bag holder of worthless token. And everyone could profit if we pushed for first option. Congratulations to those who were scammed who took away the profit from everyone including themselves. You deserve it now. Congratulations to those who were not white listed and yet understood the other option was better to go with.[/size][/color]
I agree if they offered a refund to whitelisters they could restore confidence.
People should also not forget that although coindash are 100% to blame for the website hack people who send ETH to the fake address should have had a it more foresight to check that they were sending to a real contract address rather than just blindly FOMO into it.
They should meet both sides halfway by giving the scammed people their tokens and offering a refund to whitelisters, this is the best chance of preserving the token value
Option no2 - you really think doing this coin will open above ico price? - not a chance. This option is being pushed by people on the whitelist. Plus say 80% ask for refund then the team have little money to develop the project effectively making the Cdt distributed effectively worthless and the project dead. This simply will not happen.
You could look at this another way. Anyone on whitelist got their tokens already so keep them. Whitelisted contributors were the ones who helped the team along the way so surely they would be more likely to believe in the project and opt to keep their tokens. coindash could give extra % of tokens that make up for the hack. For those who sent to fake address refubd them their eth if they want it or give them tokens if they want that (plus extra tokens same as I've said above). This would depend on the % of people who wanted refund since the amount sent to fake address is more than the whitelisted amount. Everyone on whitelist will say no to this as it doesn't favour them.
Not trying to create an argument just pointing out that if given an option both fake address and whitelist contributors would want a refund.
Only 1 thing can and will happen, everyone will get cdt tokens (possibly a higher % than they were meant to get), this will allow the team to keep the eth and try and develop the project. I really do not see any other viable option here to keep the project alive, and to be fair on both fake and whitelist contributors.
