Perhaps a relevant question is whether this is caused by a bug in Ethereum itself or just someone using Ethereum wrong. The Bitcoin developers have rolled back transactions that were caused by a bug in Bitcoin itself but they do not intervene in the many cases of user error.<p>Arguably, Solidity makes it so hard to write secure contracts that it is negligent. If the Ethereum team decides to take responsibility for The DAO, I hope they fix Solidity once and for all, not just bail out this one contract.
