You are totally right about responsibility here, but as far as I remember (still shows on first thread) there is a reimbursement fund of the community.
What happened to that?
Most of us who purchased zeitcoin back then are strong believers in the idea, because who else would buy a coin that is on the floor?
With prices up, it's possible to return the investment in btc with much less coins.
You are right about the reimbursement fund. Last I heard about it was that, unfortunately, there wasn't nearly enough donated into it to cover the costs of all the losses caused by CR. From what I understand, CR is "under new ownership" and the new owners have stated that they intend to try to reimburse the losses. But keep in mind that they are also dealing with Blackcoin, and I'm sure with the value of BC currently, that it is their priority. Just keep pinging them in the mean time.
