I went to a talk with Vitalik Buterin recently where he stated code quality was one of ethereum's biggest threats.
But, there is a market for code quality review too now!
Trustless contracts must at least be audited or they will have no ultimate credibility.
Just because something carries a risk, that is no reason not to adopt it, even try to fix it.
If the authors main point about code quality error rates is the main point, NASA has had far more time and funding and it would not be outputting random / get rich quick games either.
Ethereum has issues, but it is young and has a fantastic support base of enthusiasts.
The original author should have done more research on the roadmap for smart contracts and ethereum.
- vessenes 10y agoI'm the author, and I agree with Vitalik. I thought it was interesting to dig into the wild west of live contracts and see what was happening right now. The early days of Bitcoin had many of these same business models, although with much worse security and trust models. Getting security and secure practices together is going to be a large effort, and a simple post like mine is just a way of throwing my hat in the ring and getting some conversation going.
