I think that would be a very bad idea.

Can't roll-back every time someone writes a buggy contract. No matter how much is invested in it..

THIS is the HEART of crypto.

If he(Vitalik) does roll back, it means ETH is not decentralised..

There are literally 10's of thousands of other contracts running that have no issue at all.

I remember when the devs of Vericoin did something similar, it did not go down too well with the community.

Yes, I remember when mintpal was hacked and a large share of all Vericoins were stolen. They had to fork because the percentage of coins was so great that the entire coin would be effectively owned by the hacker.

I remember the LTC dev Coblee was totally against it and had some harsh words for the vericoin devs.

They can't do it, it's not decentralised if they are going to do shit like this. No one is going to invest seriously if a couple of nerds can reset all the stuff. They are going to kill ETH along with DAO.

Satoshi did rollback.

He did it for a bug in a coin code itself, not because someone sent coins to the wrong address.

What's so wrong with a good old fashioned fund freeze / rollback?

Its going to be a bit late to do a hardfork once that eth gets dumped. Im noticing some people are still buying atm. I guess they never got the news yet.

TheDao is not ETH. They are betting that ETH will survive whatever happens to the DAO. It is a sensible bet IMHO.

If those hacked eth taht have come out of the dao get dumped then eth will plummet much further than it has already. Eth will still be alive but dumped down to very low prices.

I agree. I would rather let the theDAO burn and save ETH but based on that post looks like this is what they will do.

Don't move your ETH until solved.
