I think we need to wait for a technical explanation of what went wrong before we can draw any conclusions. VRC is still very new and enough coins were stolen to greatly affect the community, so the developer was stuck between a rock and a hard place on this one.
The problem is that VRC will now always be associated with this hard fork. The developers need to be clear going forward on what their response will be in the event of future hacks on Mintpal.
The roadmap of this coin still looks great compared to other alts and I think this will be remembered as a minor setback. I am hoping the coin gets dumped so I can purchase more.
Let's go over it one more time.
They are DEVELOPERS...not central planners who can print more funny munny when a business/bank/exchange fucks up. It isn't there place to do this but obviously they think so.
They are playing with fire by doing this. As far as I am aware I will never use VRC and will always point to this thread for future interested parties in crypto thinking about using VRC.
People need to know that this type of actions can't take place in an honest environment (i.e. non-double-standard).
BLA BLA BLA BLA , DID BLACKCOIN DEVS ASKED YOU WHEN THEY FORKED AND BC PRICES COLLAPSES ? , BC WILL TAKE YEARS TO GO UP AGAIN
