Find me a system that does not "actively cost users money through bugs and footguns", and I'll find you something that isn't used. > Complex and Sophisticated is not a good thing in mission-critical software. The complexity of Ethereum comes from the domain. You can hold on to the platitudes. > Complex and Sophisticated is what you write when tackling an incredibly difficult problem or when you're trying to get a promotion. If you don't believe that cryptocurrencies are an "incredibly difficult problem", then, again, you're showing your ignorance. As someone who worked on distributed consensus systems (Paxos) for nearly a decade, I would recommend you pick up a textbook before passing judgement on the nature of this problem. > You seem to be confusing the (no personal opinion on this statement) "fantastic and successful" nature of the Ethereum platform with its quality. Thanks, however, I'm quite familiar with the orthogonal nature of success and quality -- it also turns out that just because it's successful doesn't automatically make it low quality. And really... chill out.
