Right. This also means that you can't currently trust code that runs on the blockchain since there are likely more bugs like the one that was exploited. Thoughts on that? The change in Ethereum was "voted" for by a majority of hash power (but of course as influenced by the Ethereum leadership, so people had the popup in the client along with a recommendation what to vote for). So isn't that correction also in the spirit of Ethereum? Miners decide. How about fixing obvious bugs, but otherwise upholding contracts?

> This also means that you can't currently trust code that runs on the blockchain since there are likely more bugs like the one that was exploited. To elaborate, it's especially hard to trust ETH code because it's not provable in any way. Bugs will hide, and people will find them. If ETH wasn't turing-complete this would be less problematic (because static analysis would be much easier, and possible), but as it stands there's no way to trust Ethereum contracts.
