In a token raid, a large investor stands to benefit by driving TDTs lower in value, either to profit from such price motion directly (e.g. via shorts or put options), or to purchase TDTs back in the open market in order to acquire a larger share of The DAO. One potential mechanism that deters some of the attacks outlined above is to implement a post-vote grace period during which a proposal is accepted but not yet funded. One is to ask The DAO token holders to place a self-imposed moratorium by voting down every proposal with overwhelming majority. ./cache/hackingdistributed-com-6814.html ./txt/hackingdistributed-com-6814.txt
