I support the fork as the soft fork is already done. Time to give the money to the victims.
But this needs some rules: the money is stuck and we can return it even later, but we need some constitution or guidelines for the fork.
What if a team member or somebody influential gets hacked, then he would push for a fork? But if some users without power get into trouble, the team might not intervene as they aren’t affected.
This creates a serious moral hazard:
- Protocols may become careless about security, assuming they can always be “saved” by a hard fork.
- Users won’t know whether their funds will actually be protected, or only protected if they are important enough.
- Validators are pushed into making political decisions instead of just enforcing the network rules.
There might be other scenarios, but hard forks should have some rules or guidelines set.
