Topic: There is nothing funny in The DAO "attack" - page 7. (Read 6179 times)

If the miners decide to reverse this theft then maybe it will demonstrate that in this industry financial theft and fraud can be reversed through consensus.

Maybe there is a silver lining in all of this.

The miners are deciding if a thief will get his theft now. I saw voting about the forks in several pools at the momet.

That is what WE IN HERE THINK. But what about the general public who you are wanting to use these 'currencies'?

Does this fiasco promote TRUST in the industry? Will they all be rushing in to give hackers and scammers the opportunity to steal THEIR money?

Should not have invested in ICO schemes for profit in the first place.

I DO laugh because they have it coming and had acted like assholes defending it all along.

This also will not affect much in Crypto.
Ethereum & DAO are NOT Crypto "Currencies" ..they are CRYPTO-SCAMS !

So Crypto-Currency supporters are laughing & saying "I told you so" sleazy pricks LOL
You deserve it..

NO we are all NOT worried it will stain Bitcoin or Alternative Currencies.

EDIT:

It's funny when you watch a thief get what is coming to him..
Or watch a Bully get beat up LOL

Yup... https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15152054

Please keep laughing, but remember this...

The DAO is one of the largest crowdsales in history
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_funded_crowdfunding_projects

It is one of the poster boys of the crypto industry

Yes, IPO scammers got burned, banker shills got shafted, idiot noobs got what they deserved, everybody laugh and make merry, bitcoin is the only currency etc etc etc

For weeks I was asking what this DAO is and nobody would answer. ETH wallet is a joke of technology. In fact, all crypto 2.0 wallets are the biggest joke of this industry but nobody is saying anything or taking these devs to task about their crappy technology. People are piling in regardless.

You are laughing while the whole crypto industry is going over the edge of a cliff. Go and laugh with the man down the street about what has happened here and ask him to give over his fiat for your new fancy digital currency that (as he sees it) is nothing more than drugs money for hidden internets. Nothing more than nerds and Russian gangsters trying to get rich. And now a nice big Russian cartel is holding the entire industry to ransom for millions of dollars. Yes, the whole industry. DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF and believe that our precious BTC will not be affected. Outside of this industry people DO NOT TRUST digital currencies. Do you blame them???

So, go and sit down and laugh with your mothers, fathers uncles and aunts who know nothing about crypto except for all the drugs and scams going on in this post modern gold rush. All they know is that nerds want their money in this big global Ponzi scheme. They're not idiots. Tell them that a Russian cartel stole $80m. Make them laugh with you at the foolishness of the investors in the industry (which you are also asking them to invest in!).

Yes, keep laughing. The bags you are all holding will surely be used as the future currency of this planet.

Keep laughing and waiting...

I listen that the Dao is attacked again today, is it really? it is true, why the team of the DAO and the ETH have not take action to clear bug? if it goes on ,the ETH will be game over.

Mining pools are voting in TheDAO soft fork: http://ethpool.org/stats/votes. Looks like the majority of the people are for the fork...

I do not see much anger there. I just saw some people enjoy the big loss  of Ethereum and the DAO holders.

I enjoy eth holders anger. Get rich quick crowds make me nauseous. Same with that paycoin crowd not long ago. Just fucking burn and ride that cancer down to oblivion

The hacker will not get his stealing money according to the consensus in the miner community at the moment.

That lambchop dude still exists? Shit! He was going strong like 2 years ago, around neobees. I swear someone had to be paying that guy, no one has that much time to type forum responses unless they are getting paid. There just isn't a troll spirit bright enough to do all that talking for lulz. There HAD to be profit motive.

Maybe bitcoin killed his family when he was a child..

Eth is a scam with a artificial marketcap. Out of the 80 million or so coins in circulation 60 million are premined by pre-sale buyers and 12 million were premined by the eth devs. That mean 72 million or 90% of ethers coins are premined. This gets even worse when proof of stake kicks in because it means the network will pretty much be a dictatorship run by premined coins.

Eth has only one purpose - enrich the early adopters and the devs. Once all this boils over vitalik and his gang will be rich and all their supporters will be burned and will probably leave crypto for good. Some of them might come to their senses and buy bitcoins and litecoins but most people in eth are going to leave crypto for good with a sour taste in their mouth.

I congratulate the "hacker" for "stealing" the coins as he found a flaw and took the coins by finding a loophole in the code. The hacker should keep his coins and dump to teach the eth regime a lesson in overbragging and being cancer to the crypto community at large.

Disclaimer: I have stayed away from eth from day one and will never use their platform even if it reachs $100 a coin. For smart contracts i think rootstock or something built on top of litecoin is a better option. 

Let me tell you why it's funny.  If you ever click the speculation forum, there are full-time, paid, anti-bitcoin shills.  Accounts like alias "lambchop" have created literally over 500 spam accounts that just post all day long saying "Bitcoin is going to die.  Bitcoin ponzi scheme is over.  Blah blah blah".  These same shills (who probably work for people like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan) were also spamming "Ethereum is the new Bitcoin" at the same time.

The banker shills took this one right up the ass.  They bought a bunch of Ethereum IPO scamtokens and got raped.  How do you think this piece of shit Ethereum got to a billion market cap while being a scam?  Bankers were bankrolling it.  So for all Eth shills, I salute you:

I believe that Ethereum should pay for that mistake, because they gathered hundreds of millions from the masses and now they want people to solve their problem.


It's simple... I could not live with myself and I believe that sooner or later people pay for their actions.

Exactly 3,641,694.2418985067 ether were "stolen" and they are still sitting in this address. The amount in fiat was roughly $78.3 million (because the price of ETH back then was $21.50), not $50Mn like most of the people are saying.

You are a good one I'm Christian, and they might have gotten some of them back. Not all. A lesson needs to be learned here, by everyone involved in this DAO business.

Who can he sue? The miners will be the people doing the forks, they are around the world. Can he sue them in every country?

I agree, there isn't anything funny about this whole situation as we are talking about a lot of money and some people would be out of pocket.  I know we all say only put in what you can afford to lose but even so it is a kick in the guts when something like this happens.

It is quite disturbing so early on in the DAO this was noticed and taken advantage of, hopefully lesson learned and in future things will be tested fully or even bounties set to see if anyone can find loopholes etc.
