Updated: The next steps — part 2

Important: You can no longer split from the DAO, you will lose ALL of your tokens!

As of Wednesday June 22, 2016 The DAO has been emptied of all currently accessible Ether. A group of very smart people — as Alex van de Sande states — was able to perform a white hat attack that drained about 6M Ether into a Child DAO (Robin Hood DAO) of which they are the curator.

See this reddit post for more details: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4p7mhc/update_on_the_white_hat_attack/

Due to this, YOU SHOULD NO LONGER CALL splitDAO()! all splittable funds in The DAO have been drained. Ether does remain in the extraBalance but it is inaccessible. If you split now, you will burn your tokens without getting anything back. This does not affect split proposals creation, only executing a split by calling calling splitDAO().

The best strategy as a DTH is to sit tight for now, or to contribute to the fork-suggestion by either joining the conversations on

• https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/
• https://www.reddit.com/r/thedao
• https://forum.daohub.org/c/theDAO/fork-proposal
• https://dao.consider.it/
• Your twitter account
• Or whatever social media channel you prefer
• Or by voting directly via your mining power:

How can I vote on the soft- and hardfork ?

as a solo-miner

As a miner, If you want to vote for the soft-fork, you can do the following:

• Download the newest version of parity 1.2 which you can find here (1.2 beta branch) or as a binary package for windows here
• Download the newest geth version. TBA
• If you want to vote against the soft-fork, just do not upgrade your minig software

So far we have no information regarding the hard-fork. We will update this post as soon as we hear something.

as a pool-miner

• Dwarf-pool
• Eth-Pool & Ethermine

Voting is only allowed with the hash-power you had before the incident happened. So it is not possible to switch around pools to vote on all of them.

If you know of other pools that enabled voting, please let us know!

What is the current situation?

According to our user bitbuzzing we currently have the following vote distribution:

Please note: This graph only calculates yes vs. no votes. Miners who have not voted yet or voted ‘I don’t care’ are not taken into account.
You can find our data-sources here:

• Ethermine http://ethermine.org/stats/votes
• Ethpool http://ethpool.org/stats/votes
• MPH confirmed through a direct message
• Mining power https://etherscan.io/stats/miner?range=7

We will do our best to keep you informed about these numbers. Be aware that they are just an indicator and can change drastically in a short amount of time. Please feel free to contact us if you have any updates on the numbers.
