If I am a miner, I will support the soft fork and freeze the stolen funds. If the DAO holders offer us 50% of the stolen funds, we will do a hard fork.
If the miners can benefit from the hacking like this and the hacker does not benefit, he may think twice before his next hacking.
Other miners will mine more profitably by accepting his offer and thus have a greater hashrate.
Checkmate. Your vote has been economically overridden.
Andreas and Emin getting frantic and grasping for straws:https://twitter.com/el33th4xor/status/744769932739624960So 2 wrongs make a right?
Nope. You all had a chance to only get a 30% haircut, but you were determined to vote, thus commit 2 wrongs and break Nash equilibrium and lose 100%:
Stoopid.
What are you taking about 30% haircut?
In the attacker's original interview, he stated he stopped draining the DAO at 30% drained, as an olive branch of sorts. But this depends of course of you not stealing his rightfully gained tokens with your insecure 51% attack hard fork.
Since you've all voted to steal his tokens, he is forced to drain the rest of your tokens and redistribute them to a new set of miners who will replace your existing miners.
You guys passed up the best chance you had to not lose it all.
