This seems pretty simple to me.
Decentralized crypto-currencies are all about consensus.
Vitalik suggested a hard fork rollback.
The majority seem to want it...that's consensus!

Now roll it back.

Note - I was not affected by this DAO/ETH situation.

You go into the casino and win legally 50 Million with a new technique.

Not the true story, true story:

A crew of people invest 150 Million into a new casino with all new technique, someone finds a flaw in the code and cheats out 50 Million of the casino...

What to do ? Of course roll back, fix the code, and "restart" the new technique casino...

You didn't understand the image... the new technique was not the blockchain... but the different call of the contract by the attacker...

That still doesn't change anything on the situation

The point is, that we are not allowed to go back in time, just because we can. You always have side effects you don't foresee.
For example if you go back and kill hitler you save millions of people. But maybe the russians may have taken lead of the world and bombed usa with an atomic bomb and killed even more...

Your last comment actually is SO dumb and disgusting it proves pretty well What an ignorant, dumb and disgusting Person you are.

Whenever there is a chance of saving Any Human life OF COURSE YOU SHALL SAVE IT - there is no Discussion necessary at all for such a question, regardless of other unknown things that MAY happen.

We are not talking about Human life here but of a flaw, an error in a Piece of code that was exploited by some individuals without of the consensus or without the approval of the majority.

Imagine a Bank that gets robbed and afterwards you are suing the Bank for getting robbed and not the robbers because they did such a decent Job and did Not get caught (at first)...

Other coins implement voting Features so that Similar happenings can be circumvented by the majority.. The miners or HODLers Wink

Did you ever watch Butterfly Effect? That's more or less explaining, what I want to say. Because it seems you didn't understand it.

We are not in Hollywood here.. You are obviously the one who is NOT understanding MANY things here

I am understanding your point more than mine, thats the case. I thought about everything you say already, you don't tell me anything new. But did you ever think longer about the arguments of the opponents?
I am talking about movies, that explain facts. Its not about hollywood.

Okay then let me give you a very disgusting example back, also a movie:

A robber Breaks Into your House, Rapes your wife, kills her after the rape, then sells your daughter on a Human Market where she will be Set on Drugs and Sold for Prostitution...

You have the Chance to go back in time but you wouldnt because it is not good?

Of course I would. But that doesn't mean, that I should. Look at my given movie. It's also about really bad things.

And we are not even talking about lives anyway, so the only thing is loosing money. I am also invested in both ETH and DAO, but still I know, that its wrong, to make a hard fork. Soft forks, can be maybe considered to put pressure on the attacker to give most of the money back.

But for finding that exploit, he has deserved some money anyway. Companies like Apple, Facebook or Google pay a lot for finding exploits...

If he didn't do it someone else would have have done it later and it would have been even worse scenario...
