$Ravencoin Facing 4-Day Rollback? Here's What Really Happened
Many are talking about RVN rolling back 4 days of transactions.
This is NOT new, but a reminder of 2 critical flaws:
2020 Bug: 315M extra RVN (1.5% of total supply) was minted without mining due to a code bug. That's 44 days of mining!Rab13s Bug (2023): Halborn found a critical P2P flaw that could shut down 280+ chains including $RVN, $LTC, $ZEC.
What is a Rollback? It means reversing the chain to an older state, canceling all transactions in between. It breaks immutability but sometimes is the only fix.
RVN team chose NOT to rollback and absorbed the inflation to protect innocent users.
Do you think a rollback is ever justified to save a chain?
