As an outsider, this is stunning to me: why isn't there a contract revokation mechanism? Considering these things are programmable, it could be something as simple as a killswitch hash sitting in a lawyer's safe somewhere, right?
- lmm 10y agoThe whole point of the exercise is to not have it under human control.
- Udo 10y agoIt seems that's a very expensive exercise with very predictable results. And "human control" is a very malleable concept, too. Obviously, there are humans in control of Ethereum somewhere, and obviously the DAO was set up by humans, too. For a decentralized commercial entity to have a lawyer on retainer doesn't seem like an inappropriate betrayal of principles to me, but of course the DAO people see it differently.
