Is so called "kill switch" a DPOS vulnerability?

[Empirical1.2]

I remember CoinHoarder, smart guy. Positive about lots of BitShares innovations but was against dilution. Hasn't been around here a lot since.

Love this line   

If I see someone say "they just don't see the big picture" one more time I'm going to flip shit.

According to the forum user named Huntercrafterminers , "kill switch": an ability of the genesis block generator to erase the whole chain and restart it. To the rest of I3 team , is this possible? or the guy is only spreading FUD?

Is this still possible?

Calling it a kill switch is plain FUD. You can make forks of anything and convince people to switch.

You just change the harcoded genesis block in the client .. just what all altcoins do

How is this technically accomplished?

The developer may consider other 2.0 technologies that are available . The original choice was DPOS. What made them seek alternatives was a comment from a guy I think is a part of the team. As I mentioned , CoinHoader did a point by point why the developer must choose DPOS.

The same holds true for bitcoin too.

FUD. Nothing to add

What is the so called "kill switch" vulnerability?

Back in BTT forum I was advocating DPOS for the zennet guys to use it. CoinHoader has a deep knowledge in DPOS and defended it well to what the other user think about DPOS and its disadvantage.  The Zennet project is a very ambitious one but with huge potential. Just imagine if it is using DPOS technology. Hopefully we can convince them.
