So, this review makes me wonder: Will the hard fork of the ethereum blockchain be of any use at all? The DAO appears to be fundamentally flawed, are all the coins there simply lost? What prevents an attacker from exploiting the DAO after the hard fork? Or will they simply invalidate all the transactions that went to the address of the DAO?
- tdaltonc 10y agoAs I understand it: The goal of the fork is to freeze the DAO account starting just before the 'split' drain (at the blockchain level). And then figure out a long term solution (possibly using another fork to return all ETH to the original contributing accounts dissolving the DAO?). The ability of a core of developers and miner to exercise their will over the system like this is alarming though. https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/06/17/critical-update-re-dao-vulnerability/ https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/06/17/critical-update-re-dao-...
