now there needs to come a hard fork to give that coins back

it has been said that the three addresses affected were addresses related to an incoming ICO !

Does anybody know what project token or ICO was effected by this attack? A hardfork isn't the solution though....sloppy code will result in a messy outcome, so the solution is to not take risks with unproven code. This isn't the type of stuff for which a chain should be purposefully forked, right?

The Eth developers set a principle when they fixed the DAO mess. Once you decide to move down a slippery slope I think it becomes difficult to operate in God mode to decide who gets saved and who not. It would have been much easier if the DAO hardfork never happened. Who knows going forward when Eth transactions will be safe and when they could be rolled back. How would the Eth team decide if they will save a situation or not? Maybe it depends on whose coins get hacked? Who knows what will come of this?

Yup, I was DAO investor....it was a big event. The ERC20 token ICO trend has scaled up quite a bit since then, however, and it's pretty much getting to the point where it's too big to mess with the code base for a mere 30 million dollars....Good point though--the slippery slope--who gets to decide if and how it's remedied?

from a tweet of @maraoz reported by zerohedge.com, edgeless casino, swarm city and aeternity blockchain were affected..

Thanks. What amazes me is that if a brick and mortar lost $30M it'd be all over the news....We are in a brave new world!

Mew...no biggie! The silence of this space in the mainstream media is deafening sometimes!
