Then maybe. Does that mean that the address that it went to should be invalidated? What if it was already sold several times and the other parties paid legitimately for it? Or should new ones be generated to replace the loss at the expense of the whole network? What about cases when it was lost like Bitcoin in old hard drives?

Complicated topic here, I don't want to say yes or no. But my question is, even if it is a million SMC, is it such a big deal? It's basically worthless now. I would just buy another batch and keep it safe off the exchange this time if it's a project that I believed in and it was important to me.

In regard to the claims from Cryptsy, I don't see a way to reverse it, does anyone else have a proposal? Can't just issue replacements for anyone who makes a claim without proof.

And if they have proof?

Seems to me the majority of Cryptsy's SMC ended up at SY9JewNadnkJexXxLKfmFhqoaeQycTVDS6, 4,420,304.00000000 ended up there end of Jan 2018. I would think regardless what you decide this balance should be excluded from any kind of swap. Someone obviously still had control of these stolen coins as they had moved them periodically from 2016 to beginning of 2018.

If you would honor such claims with proof I would just think the total claims couldn't exceed this balance. Regarding lost wallets (from lost hard drives and such), I don't see this as being the same. Not only almost impossible to prove but no crime was likely committed.

Now if I were to try to re-buy all the cryptos stolen from me over the last 6 years or so from all the various exchanges, it would be a small fortune.

Is there a better place than here to get an opinion on this? Would be nice to get others commenting whether for or against. Thanks.
