It's ethereum, they'll just hardfork those coins back

Apparently almost $300M stuck - I don't see them not bringing up another hard fork to retrieve them



Depends on how good friends the affected users are with key players in the Ethereum community...


One of the Ethereum founders (Gavin Wood) lost the proceeds from their recent ICO to this bug. So, very good friends?


Not to mention that he wrote the buggy contract...ehm, both buggy contracts, to be precise, the one that let funds be stolen and the one that now freezes funds...


Well, that's one way to solve the inflation problem before PoS..

Perhaps it can be fixed though, as part of the next hard fork.
