Re: [ANN][VRC] | VeriCoin | POS - NSDI | VeriBit | VeriSend

I'm sorry to the guys who lost coins, but you lost them because of Mintpal and they should reimburse you not the entire blockchain being forked. If Mintpal can't pay then the community shouldn't have trusted so many coins with one exchange. Isn't this a decentralized crypto coin? You can't become centralized when it's convenient to bail out an exchange because it's convenient.

Why not be Visa coin and allow chargebacks, and while you're at it have a Vericoin bank and offer Verinsurance

This coin is forever tainted, and this is a sad day for all alt coins. Mintpal is NOT too big to fail. Maybe we should fork the Bitcoin blockchain to bail out Mt. Gox and Mark Karplees Undecided

+1, sad but true.

Mtgox only admits they had lost almost 750,000 (7% of supply) 2 weeks after they stopped withdrawal. It is already too late for them to do anything.

7% is insignificant compare to 30%. Bitcoin had much more infrastructures (eg exchanges, merchants) then vericoin now. No one can convince 50% of the network to roll back blockchain. Bitcoin network is just too decentralized.

Vericoin now at most is only a speculative investment; I highly doubt anyone would use Vericoin/Verbit for everyday transaction. Vericoin developers and big 4 exchanges were quick to understand the situation to devise a plan allows them to minimize damage to the network integrity.

I hope everyone learns a lesson here and move on. Fud-ing without any constructive argument is not in our best interest for the whole crypto currency communities. What about discussing the solution to today problem?

This is something we should get focused on. Its is very hard with all the FUD attempts. But we must try to refocus in the midst of all the tension.
