The Ethereum community broke its silence on a move to facilitate the return of lost funds to the platform.

Following the departure of the ethereum developer Yoichi Hirai, who resigned from his role as supervisor of the software changes on Thursday, community members stormed Github by categorically rejecting the proposal controversial on which he left his post.

In the last 24 hours, over 80 comments have been posted on the official GitHub of the blockchain network, most stating that they "do not support" or are "strongly opposed" to the proposal. Ethereum improvement (EIP) 867. Standardize the use of system-wide software upgrades to return lost funds to the platform.

Often due to a faulty code, fund recovery is a sensitive topic for the platform, having already led to the development of a rival cryptocurrency named ethereum classic.

The enthusiastic reaction, in which many show up to support the developer, contrasts sharply with the silence of the week, with some even writing that the proposal is a "complete shame for the ethereal community."

Speaking on the subject, developer William Entriken warned of the potential consequences of standardizing the recovery of lost funds in the comments that highlighted the emerging sentiment.

"Here is the unintended consequence of having an easily available, well-researched and standardized tool like this one available," he writes.

others rejected the proposal as "very damaging" as well as "scary, and an absolute joke", while another wrote that "this goes against everything that I thought this movement was for. "

The indignation also reflects the reaction observed at a meeting of developers last week, where the developer Vlad Zamfir ethereum spoke of the need for a community return on the subject, indicating that EIP 867 may have been too important. ]

Adding to the question is that confusion has emerged on the status of the proposal, which was formally entered into GitHub, first as a "problem" (or a beginning sketch), and later as a "pull request" a formal software scheme that merges the code with the live code of the platform.

James Levy of Tap Trust, one of the three developers at the head of the proposal, closed the Github folder in the middle of the business last night, causing confusion that EIP 867 does not have the same effect. is more active.

However, to date, the corresponding draw request remains open.
