This is a hard-fork for internal reasons, not a blockchain rollback for external reasons - HUGE difference. It was done because the protocol wasn't implemented properly, not because some third-party exchange messed up.
Obviously you need to learn your terminology...
Bitcoin used a hard-fork, which caused that block to be invalid and unacceptable (because it was)... Nothing was invalid or unacceptable (protocol-wise) about the block that VRC rolled back to.
Spin it how you like, but the fact remains.
Someone found a way to get lots of BTC free. And that would've destroyed the coin.
So rather than just Fixing, Forking, and moving forward, they Rolledback BTC to the point that eliminated the coins.
Were not all BTC created to that point, mined under the "improperly implemented protocol"? Why did the Rollback stop where the billions of BTC were created? A Purist would want the exploiter to keep the billions, rather than GASP Rollback and save BTC.
The MP hack wasn't a VRC problem. But someone ended up with lots illegitimate coins, and the rest is history.
Regardless what happens to VRC, the rollback was a good thing. Even if it dies, stopping the thieves from becoming millionaires is worth sacrificing my few thousand coin.
2 more Facts. We know who the Vericoin devs are. And it is easy to see their commitment level, to the coin.
One almost certainty in crypto, try to do good and someone will FUD you for profit.
After all profit is more important than integrity, honesty, and even crypto itself. amIright?
