Thank you.

Minecache, you can suck my balls, because you are not aware of the consequences caused by the Geth bug. But I can't explain that to you, even If I do my best. 

Fuck you.

The consequences of a bug like this are really serious, because the whole network can be shut down in a split second. The POW difficulty collapses and for a short time (20-30 minutes) an attacker could easily launch a 51% attack. Ethereum is a pure POW network.

This was a serious flaw...

It's strange that users / investors didn't react. It's like they don't care. Or maybe they don't understand the severity of this incident...
