Correct me if I'm wrong, but the patch is not in the DAO contract. It's in the Ethereum platform. I don't know what the alternative would be to prevent the attacker from draining the DAO, but this patch seems incredibly hacky. Will this just be an ever-growing oopsie transaction blacklist in the code?
- mbrock 10y agoI don't know about ever-growing. The community is very actively discussing the implications of this bug, whether and how to mitigate it, etc. Probably the failure of "The DAO" will be an important event in the Ethereum history that people will refer to, for example to point out the importance of contract security diligence... But yeah, your concern is shared by many.
