It is not like the developer team decided to hardfork the blockchain for personal gain.

Let's imagine a scenario when the developer team or a government did it for personal gain or political reasons. What would be the consequence?

What would you do if you own that coin?

Would the majority refuse to update the wallet?

Would a group of people to come forth and take over the development of the coin?

This is the nature and beauty of decentralised & open source network.

If you try to dictate and insist what a coin should do or not do, isn't that contradicting?

Maybe you should ask the devs how much vrc they hold? You might be surprised

I don't have more facts than pnosker showed some screenshot of his 500k+ wallet some weeks ago.
That might blur how objective they were just a "tad" Wink

This was of course the true reason to do the rollback, not to lose any profits they have made. This is also the reason why most of VRC holders cheer the rollback. Or have you seen anyone not holding vrc, that would defend the rollback?

I had VRC on mintpal, but I would rather have lost my coins, tried to get MP to reimburse me than having a rollback that goes against everything in crypto

Well, they worked hard and they deserve it more than the thief.

There is no new supply being introduced into the blockchain and stolen coins are returned to their rightful owners.

Isn't that enough for you?

If you are so against the fork. Why don't you all fork vericoin github, setup supernodes and runs the original blockchain? So you can preserve your purist ego at the expense of other people.

I bet you don't care. Most of you don't care. Most people here only care about profits and the coin they baghold.
