ETH and ETC both have the original blockchain data, but one corrected a criminal act by social consensus because we are normal people and we can discuss and reach agreements just like anybody else.
- pavlov 8y agoWas a police report ever made about the theft? What was the result of the police investigation?
- decentralised 8y agoI'm not sure if a report was made because it was possible to make reparations. I can ask around at Europol next time I'm there.
- pavlov 8y agoSounds like the value of the stolen property was $0 if it can be recovered by simply saying "We'll just give our money back to ourselves". I imagine the police wouldn't be very interested in such a case. Maybe the crime was hacking into a computer system? But the perpetrator was using the system's public interfaces exactly as intended. Is it criminal to call a method on a smart contract on a public distributed ledger? There's no criminal act. The Ethereum community just wants to see themselves as victims instead of accepting that they were hoisted with their own Turing-complete petard.
