my .02 satoshis...

while everyone else is bailing out of their rigs (thanks btw...I'm getting hardware cheap right now) I find it reassuring that he's taking a hit personally and trying to correct the community situation.  I was the first one to yell "fire" when this all started, but since that caused him to show himself on the forums and take responsibility for it all I'm quite supportive of the solution.

One thing to remember is he never said how many bitcoins were lost (unless I missed something along the way)...so, if it was 100% then getting back to 50% is something at least.  I doubt, since my coins were obviously moved to a cold storage when the hit was noticed, that it was 100%...so getting back 50% of what was lost means we'll have GREATER THAN 50% of the outstanding coins fully funded.  Example, if he lost 20% of total coins and 50% of those are recouped we're still at 90% fully funded on the site.

@erundook....I'd like a bit more insight to what the true #'s are (full disclosure will instill confidence), but at least there's hope.
