Also love the fact that the FUD posters ignore the simple reason why it was not a choice but a necessity to fork to protect the community.
1 entity controlling 8 million coins that decided to stake them all would have had well over the 51% needed of the STAKING coins.
They will continue to ignore it.
Just so I understand correctly:
Are you saying that Mintpal (forgetting about the hack at the moment) already had the power to do a majority attack against the VRC network?
How is it different from the hacker owning the coin or Mintpal owning it?
Isn't the whole problem that it is just one entity owning the coin and able to attack the system?
If it isn't dangerous if Mintpal holds it, how is it suddenly dangerous now?
Are you really that dense? Um, mintpal didn't steal anyone's coins. They are holding them. The hackers stole the coins.
Quite different ways of obtaining them and one that's quite hostile don't you think?
