"Brod exploited these flaws at a high profile event that he knew would get a response. How we respond is up to us." - - -

Is the right answer for us to bend over and laugh it off? If the new stake kernal (StakeV8) will fix the exploits then why were they executed in production? What did it prove?

This isn't some kind of game. Paid, unpaid, volunteer, and/or charity workers can be let go or fired.

If an investor / researcher performed a stunt like this I'm pretty sure we'd be banned from participating in Gridcoin. Considering a developer, who is also an investor / researcher, did this I would expect the same. This was premeditated by an insider. Unacceptable.
