This is almost cult-like. The cult of Vitalik.
What we're talking about are a slew of successful attacks in the ETH ecosystem. What we're talking about are what appear to be questionable decisions in Solidity. What do you think of this thread earlier? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14810008 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14810008
It is clearly unsafe, judging from these attacks. It is clearly not designed with security in mind, which should have been a top priority. "Maybe his priorities were different" is even more damning than if people did prioritize security and failed.
- meesterdude 9y agoI disagree. I have no cult-ties to Ethereum. I simply did not find the argument made to be well reasoned - and the attack on the devs to be highly questionable. Have you seen Vitalik talk? he's not an idiot. I know he's smarter than me. So - i'm going to take baseless claims about competence and due-dilligence with a grain of salt. You say "clearly unsafe" but there has been, to my knowledge, only one serious flaw identified, and that is what lead to the fork. Many of these ICO thefts have been suspected internal jobs, not as the result of a new vulnerability identified. correct me if i'm wrong. If ETH is doomed, i'm happy to let best of breed win. But I'm not seeing an argument made with facts here - I'm seeing Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.
