imo someone found out this vulnerability and pulled rug on CK and 1031. Coins are out of their hands and that might have been the goal.

Of course help if you can which I know you would/are/will. The door was easy to unlock but it is not theirs to walk into.

Misread lol. Law should help.

If the state can find and prosecute the thief, I’m fine with that. We all know the state can’t reverse the bitcoin transactions.

False dichotomy: attackers violated property rights. They are not lawful owners. The state could help retrieve coins but so are private consultants.

If the attacker really wanted to exploit Bitcoin with chaos, they could take said stolen coins and create a bunch of inscriptions and spam. First they stole plebs coins, then they stole the bits on their nodes that the must preserve forever. A true double whammy. The ability to return those coins ...

Always fuck the state

Third option: fuck the state, it would only steal the coins again for itself. in my ideal world, injured parties set a bounty and a bitcoin posse hunts them down and inflicts the minimum necessary violence to retrieve the keys, obtain restitution, and punish them on a “two eyes for an eye” basis...

Neither

Better to say it this way. Is violence justified? The State is just the monopoly on violence that our societies, generally, feels good with, however violence can be done without the State. Yes. Obviously... Unless you're a retarded Libertarian. Violence should be assumed if you're the thief. If ...

I don't think the state should help out. This should be a lesson learned. This bug was hiding in plain sight for years. We need more incentives for security researchers to scrutinise open source software. Don't trust, but verify and all that.
