IMO it's rising now due to a soft fork solution has been supported by the community.
They now have an option to get the funds back without a hard fork
Indeed. It's reassuring to see how the ETH community is pulling together.
Can they get the 3.6 million stolen from the hacker back without using the hard fork? I thought soft fork just freeze the funds.
Yes they are working on it. Can't say much more right now but expect gud news.
They get the funds from the hacker, the hacker gets it back again, is there never ending loop? I thought there is 27 day freeze period.
28 days. And this allows for a resolution to be implemented at this time, and any other time such attack happens.
