TheDAO - a temporary setback

The DAO seemed like a great opportunity and I still don't regret taking the risk to invest in it. Sure it turned out a bit too good to be true but what do you expect?

I am glad of the DAO hack as I believe it will make Ethereum stronger. We keep forgetting ethereum is still BETA. Having these setbacks now is a benefit to the entire blockchain in the long run.

On the Blog of Slock it you can find these dates: keep them in mind if you are planning to trade.

• First childDAO’s creation period ends: 01.07.2016–16:25:02 CEST
• First date for ~2000ETH leaving the system: 16.07.2016–17:04:37 CEST (split proposal #8)
• End of creation time for the DarkDAO: 14.07.2016–05:34:48 CEST
• First date an attackerDAO can split: 21.07.2016–05:34:48 CEST
• First date an attackerDAO can withdraw through proposal: 28.07.2016–05:34:48 CEST
• First date an attackerDAO can withdraw through split proposal: 31.08.2106 05:34:48 CEST

Trading volumes are low. I guess many are waiting for the hard fork to be over with

As of this moment 11:50 am Slock it has posted following message:
"The Devs are hard at work! The Go team, the C++ team, Ethcore (Parity, the Rust client), and even Vitalik himself (Python) are all actively developing, reviewing, and testing the hard fork Client upgrades.
..
This means the last date for a clean hard fork without any exceptions added to the specification is the 16th of July."
