Devcon2 update, plus explanation of last night's attack on Ethereum.

Ethereum was not attacked, only the fork was in trouble.

Parity is rock solid, kept the network alive during a major crisis (especially given the timing) and prevented a panic.

The Geth developers are nothing less than unreal. The time it took them to respond and deliver couldn't be matched even by the likes of google or apple.

Also a big shout out to all of us, the community for keeping our calm and actually being helpful by not panicking, by switching to a working client and by not putting extra pressure to the shoulders of the developers.

I think most non-devs don't get how extraordinary it is to have such a fast and committed response from devs.

This is what sets Ethereum apart in my mind. Yes, it is open source, but it also has professional and committed visionaries behind it.

Thanks for the love from Shanghai, we love you back.
