Please let's hear the solution from all the people complaining about a rollback. Please solve everyone's problems. If your reply amounts to "I don't know, but a rollback isn't the solution" then please STFU you have nothing to offer.

The solution rests on designing a system without possible points of failure like Mintpal.
Effectively they would be decentralized peer to peer.

Solution for Vericoin handling of Mintpal fiasco?
1. Do nothing. Let it play out and if it survives then it should survive.
2. Fork to make stolen coins disappear.
3. Go back in time to pre-theft.

This was discussed a few pages back.

At the moment it seems hacker will not gain anything from this.
If I was hacker I would destroy majority of the coins which would make a rollback more difficult to justify.

But like stated first: the solution is a better system.
This is why crypto in the first place.
Exchanges are legacy from a prior broken system.
What happened here today is leftovers from that system.
What we should aim for is a system not vulnerable to this.
If VRC is not that system or a part of that system and in fact helping to survival of the broken system by splinting it, then it is not the answer.

If I was VRC dev I would say:
Sorry people, we got forced into making a hard decision.
We promise we won't fork coin again for this reason so please don't leave your money on exchanges.
Put it in your wallet and stake. This way you support the network.
We are also working on a decentralized exchange system that will hopefully make Mintpal and its like obsolete and offer peer to peer exchange.
