White Hat Hackers Caught Red-handed During Attempted ETC Sell-off

"After the funds were recovered by the white hat hackers, some transactions were sent to exchange wallets  This caused a lot of speculation among Ethereum Classic enthusiasts, as there was no official explanation for doing so. Moreover, the ETC price saw a significant decline, which seemed to indicate the funds was being sold-off by these “trustworthy” individuals."

If they sell the ETC and send the funds to the Ethereum Classic, then it is good. Any way, they should be able to do whatever they want.

so the real ethereum is etc? i think etc unstable for now  Huh

I think its already been done and finished attack by hackers.. because the price of ethereum still stay at $11 usd and i think there is possibility that the price will increase again more.. we know coinbase has eth right now.

The price of Ethereum will not rise before we know the fate of the ETC after the DAO hacker got access to the ETC.

That is right. It will take some time for us to know if the DAO hacker will or has dump the coins. It is better to wait.

I think you're overreacting, but I agree that the hardfork was unnecessary.

We shall know that if the hard fork is necessary in the next few weeks when the DAO hacker has access to the stolen ETC.

he White Hats and DAO Wars: Behind the Scenes

The actions of the White Hat Group (WHG) have been shrouded in mystery and it is time for this once-necessary precaution to come to an end. Transparency matters to all of us. Previously, it was deemed unwise for the WHG to elaborate on the details of the situation while the salvage operation was unfolding, to prevent new and old attackers from knowing their movements to better understand how to attack DAOs. Now that the community is questioning their actions and intentions, we, at Bity, feel it is necessary to share the details of what the WHG has been dealing and living with over the last few weeks.

https://blog.bity.com/2016/08/13/the-white-hats-and-dao-wars-behind-the-scenes/

So the white hat will return the ETC to the original holders. If the black hat also returns the stolen funds, it is better.

I doubt it will be that simple. The white hat hacking group which is comprised of slock.it developers and ethereum foundation developers has already hired lawyers to "help" them figure out a way to properly return the ETC. These same lawyers they hired are not a neutral party but it is actually their legal partner when they created the DAO.

Read the whole story.

If the return of the ETC is delayed, that could be a good news. That might mean there will be few ETC to be dumped.

If the DAO hacker also return the funds and compensate to the loss of the Ethereum holders due to his action, the price will rise.

Do not buy ETC. It is not for you. Better for you to buy ETH if you think that is more stable.

You heard wrong. They attempted to dump all the ETC to buy ETH and use that to fund development on the forked chain. The exchanges Poloniex and Kraken now have frozen some of those funds.

The white hat hacking group actually has connections with the Ethereum foundation. Now they have Swiss lawyers involved in the return of the funds. That is bad news for the DAO holders because they might lawyer their way from giving the funds back to the actual owners.

Why did they not return the funds right away?

I think they want to influence the price of the ETH and ETC. But that is just my speculation, not necessary true.

According to the statements from the white hats, they will find a way to return the funds. There is no mention of the black hat yet.

I disagree Smiley Those coins are correlated with the ones on the ETH blockchain, and belong proportionately to the entire DAO (all participants). To not ask for community consensus before attempting to sell the coins feels a bit disgenuine;  they made a big deal about community 'consensus' for the hardfork.  Essentially, these coins don't belong to them completely, and they should have made their actions public as this is a pretty serious conflict of interest. Also, they have managed to make these coins non liquidable for the time being, they can't be returned by the exchanges. They have already made their motivations clear with their actions; the exchanges would be crazy to give them back the ammo they need to crash the price. So the exchanges will drag ass getting the coins back to them, whike the price goes up because there are that many fewer coins in play.

I heard that the white hat hacker will return the DAO ETC to the original owners. We do not know the intention of the black hat yet.
