The Parity bug from today could make people wary of ICOs though. $150 million frozen forever!
Is GATCOIN effected with this ? Anyone knows ! ? .  Also I wouldn't say forever as I think there might be a way to get the money back ( Hard fork ) , This should be the end of Parity period , 2 huge vulnerability in 5 months with millions of dollars stolen and millions forzen , I really do not know when they should be shutdown .
Anyway can we get a comment from deva ( if we GATCOIN effected or not ) ? .

I went to etherscan to trace my transaction and I found out GAT multisign wallet's address. Then I looked for it in this list https://github.com/barrywhitehat1/Parity2VictimList/blob/master/gistfile1.txt and I didn't find it, I'm assuming that GAT's funds are safe Smiley

This new hack is really troublesome .. I hope they quickly find a solution cause this is really bad again for the Ethereum network.

Even though is not an ethereum network problem or bug, other wallets and companies could really give the ethereum a bad name, parity has bugs, it was parities fault, but many, without knowing will accuse ether.em and the blockchain out of ignorance ¬¬

Yes in the end its just parity to blame, there is no problem on ethereum itself

That's true, but Ethereum will take the blame, especially if they will need to do a hard fork to get the funds available again. Solidity isn't so easy, but it worries me that someone who is actually not a solidity expert can lockup contracts and actually kill such a huge product.

The problem I see is, if they hardfork now to save again peoples money everyone can come and after making mistakes and will request another and another and another hard fork again and again. I thought it was said there will be no more rescue hard forks after the last one they made.

No fork should not be. Those whose funds were frozen, let them make claims to the creators of the wallet. Although I think that it is useless. Well, those who lost money simply are not lucky. The reputation of the wallet developers must suffer forever.

Well I don't know what I would think when I would be in this situation... Currently I think there should be no hard fork but on the other side, if I would be that unlucky to have my coins frozen, I probably also would hope for an fork.
