Can someone confirm this for me, it is something I asked earlier today:
Are we going through a rollback
or are we going through a fork?
pnosker: Successfully forked off the stolen #VRC. Wallets compiling. Linux users: Git is good. Clear everything but wallet.dat
Saying the stolen VRC were forked off makes it sound like they have been removed, not returned to Mintpal.
This would make way more sense to me.
But I was told earlier this is not possible.
Well, good question and if answer negative then why is that as this would be the only good solution.
Stolen coins get destroyed, mintpal buys amount of VRC equal to stolen amount and gives this to all affected users!
This would also solve the other unspoken problem.
Which is the problem of Mintpal having so big % of the coin in the first place.
From what some have said: big enough to attack the network if they wish.
If people are concerned about ghash.io they should be concerned about this as well.
