Emin Gün Sirer: hard-fork - a rite of passage for Ethereum
Teacher of computer science at Cornell University Emin Gün Sirer, which is one of the first identified deficiencies The DAO, identifying weaknesses in its code, I am sure that the hard fork Ethereum - a sign of the platform of maturity and have a number of reasons why Ethereum will develop further.
As organizer of the educational hub Ethereum (ethereum bootcamp), organized jointly with the Ethereum Foundation and lichnos Vitalik Buterin, Kyung Sirerskazal believes that "chain of transformation" ( "chains change"), is not always a drawback of the platform, and, in this case, an adequate response to the opinion Ethereum majority community.
