- Taek 9y agoYes it did. In the unaltered version of events the attacker got away with what would be worth almost a billion dollars today.
- yonilevy 9y agoIt didn't alter history. No transactions were reverted. It changed the rules by moving ETH from the attacker-owned contract address to a new contract address from which DAO investors could withdraw their funds. You might say that's semantics but in this technical context it's important, had the HF suggested altering history it would have gained less support IMO.
