I sold a car and recieved VRC as payment. After fork my funds are gone. What can i do? ...a speculative question but still can someone give me an answer? VRC team is a disgrace to crypto world.
This is precicely why this rollback is absurd.

In this case, you should probably take legal action against the VeriCoin devs and possibly MintPal.
If that was me, I would contact the person I sold the car too, tell them that because of what happened, the money they sent you is now back in their wallet and ask them to send them the coins back. If they do not, would start legal action or police, whatever. But would give them a day or so to do it as it wouldn't be their fault to start with.


and the world is full of good samaritans, right?

Yes, but the difference here, is that, if you sold a car to someone, you would have their name, address, phone number. It is a bit harder for them to just run off and hide away.

Run and hide? He could laugh in my face. The contract was signed by buyer and seller that the goods were recieved by both sides. Only after 12 hours some geek decided to give my funds back to the seller.
