Ah yes, the people’s money

It's funny how often I go back to old code that I've written and am surprised that I actually wrote it

@catalinmpit It’s a fine response but I wouldn’t expect them to change their process just for you.

@nikitabier And it’s because of an emoji 🤗

@caherrerapa @dhh With which solution?

[Ian Grabill @IGrabill]

@LinusEkenstam “Little Jonathan” lmao

@beaniemaxi fine idea, but it's definitely dilution

“Tell me more about why your JS framework is the best”

[Ian Grabill @IGrabill]

@JackEllis Yeah I do that too, but assume it's wrong because I gave it the context. Down the line it's going to have the whole codebase and all the context, it could even have logs and with that it will be able to pinpoint the issue exactly.

So yesterday there were 2(?) exploits of Ethereum contracts that resulted in millions of dollars worth of NFTs being stolen out of people's wallets. The victims had at some point given approval to these contracts and two hackers found an exploit which allowed them to transfer the NFTs to themselves.

As a result of that, this thread is being promoted. It's an end user strategy to basically setup 3 different wallets to limit your vulnerability. You can read it below, but it limits connecting your wallet holding all your valuables to something that could be exploited.

It makes sense in the current environment, but it also really pisses me off. Let me explain why.

I've been a fan of crypto since BTC back in 2013, the tech is awesome, but unfortunately the UX sucks and stuff like this just perpetuates it. The real problem is that writing exploit free smart contracts is too difficult and instead of addressing that, we are putting that responsibility on the end user. There is 0% chance that ETH can succeed if new users need to setup 3 wallets when they sign up.

Imagine joining a bank and when you open your account they tell you to keep your cash under your mattress cause they can't guarantee someone won't steal it.

Eth needs end user security baked in and it needs to be easy, not playing musical wallets so I don't lose my ass.

Now this isn't the first time an exploit has occurred and it won't be the last, but I do believe ETH is running out of time to solve this problem. It's clear that contract auditing is not enough, maybe AI can help.

I'm still a big believer in ETH and do think innovation will prevail, but we need to stop putting the responsibility of security on the end user and put it back on the chain, developers and ecosystem.

1/ On TAP

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

✅ Three (T)
✅ Address (A)
✅ Protocol (P)

The way to *never* have your grail NFTs phished is to religiously TAP.

It is super-easy to do, you should all do it.

There is NO excuse not to do it! NONE!

@chimpanchz absolutely, I just wish an equal effort was put in to the root problem, not bandaids

BTW, Trouba said Frederic challenged him on the fight. (Remember the stick-whacking incident on 11/25.)

Trouba: "If I had someone hit me in the head with a stick, I'd probably want to fight them, too. I've got no issue with it. It is what it is. Answer the bell & move on." #NYR

I'm convinced that those who figure out how to use AI to supplement their day to day are going to outperform the ones that don't by at least 10X
