The hacker just returned 12 1/3 Million additional NXT to BTER.
I am wondering what make him return 20% of what he stole. Did NXT developer threaten to rollback the transaction?
He returned 42 M NXT because BTER made a deal with him and apparently paid him 440 BTC
A good deal for BTER. 42M NXT worth around 1.3M dollars and 440 BTC only worth around 220k dollars.
Still, won't it be cheaper to convince NXT developers to rollback the transaction and threaten to pass the cost back NXT investors?
No...it wouldn't... You can't rollback the blockchain every time someone drops the ball on a big pile of NXT.
We're playing by big boy rules now.
Exactly. If Bitcoin was rolled back every time a site got hacked, it wouldnt be true to its nature. It is supposed to be a pseudo-democratic currency, for the people, by the people. So rollbacks should not even be an option for any crypto. It sucks that Bter got hacked, because I use them regularly, but at least they never fucked us in the ass like Gox did. Fuckers still owe me 0.13BTC ><
