The analogy was not to reflect the DAO but for the moral question: >Do I have a moral obligation to perform a contract that I entered only as a result of fraud

The analogy was not to reflect the DAO but for the moral question:
>Do I have a moral obligation to perform a contract that I entered only as a result of fraud?
Further, I acknowledge it is an extreme, and offered a more real world example (which coincidentally includes the opportunity for review)...I represent the contents of a Will to your parent and they sign over everything to me because I told them it would go to you, sure they were on their death bed so it was more practical to rely on my representations (DAO marketing material) than read the Will/contract (DAO code) but they had the opportunity. Also lets assume there was no separate issue of lack of capacity in this example, because the would be a separate legal defense.
What is your moral obligation?
- EdHominem 10y agoYour questions posit that you're offering a deal you know is bad because you yourself rigged it. We have no reason to think that Slock.it took the currency, or intended to (unfairly) get any share of it. Their statements look stupid but honest. A better question would involve: "... but without me knowing, the banks simultaneously crashed, devaluing our currency so the payout is worthless ..."
- pavel_lishin 10y agoAgain, caveat emptor. The code is readable and runnable by everyone. In this case, the analogy is entering a contract without reading the contract.
