We had an absolut exact Deadline, check the blockchain and send the stakes redeemed after the deadline back, so where is the problem? If your tool was on or offline has nothing to do with the Deadline.
i also want as much stakeholders as possible but not at cost of breaking the own rules. If you set up a Deadline the next time how can we be sure if you hold your line? Please be correct and send it back.
Why would I bother to send them back if they are worthless ?
It isn't my decision what happens here. Let's see what the core team has to say about it.
