Does anyone have thoughts about what the dev should do if several million VIA get hacked and stolen from an exchange?  I think it's a valid question as we look forward.  Some debate needs to happen.

I don't pretend to know all the angles.  I know what happened with VRC was unique since the hacker stood in a position to wreck the entire infrastructure they built, but it shines a light on VRC's vulnerability.  I would have lost all of my VRC if they didn't do the fork, but hey, this is a very high risk place to be, and we are at an early stage. 

I don't think they should have done it though.  New coins that overcome deficiencies of previous coins should win out in the end.  This is an evolution, just because something exists doesn't mean it is entitled to remain.
