Yes... all of the addresses involved should be known and can be blacklisted by major exchanges.
Still - the question is why was it even possible for a "hack" to score so much cryptocurrency? This is a legendary score on par with Mt Gox... they should be holding all currency not required for immediate trading liquidity in cold storage and rebalancing as needed.
- UncleMeat 9y agoUh. Wasn't the whole goddamn point of blockchains "censorship resistance"? Now people are saying that we can just ban transactions from certain addresses?
- cal5k 9y agoYou can't ban them, but you could put together a "blacklist" on tokens from a particular origin that exchanges could agree to honour. It wouldn't stop anyone from trying to sell their coins in other ways.
- emiliobumachar 9y agoThat's basically forming a government. Who decides what goes in the list? Who ensures they'll keep honest? Who watches the watchers? What recourse does a user have against arbitrary measures?
- cal5k 9y agoA government? It's a list. Until it collects taxes, has a monopoly on violence and provides basic services, a list is just... a list.
