That is such a fun attack vector, can't wait to see all the stories about socially engineered attacks when this tech will spread.
Now crypto user not only will need to audit all source code of his wallets ans every smart contract written in whatever flavor of the day language including Haskell. But they will also need to do an interview and assess technical knowledge of every signer of his wallet. Every wallet. It will be glorious :)
- CryptoPunk 5y agoPeople don't need to personally audit the software they use or create their own security protocols. Software will emerge that has undergone audits from recognized software security firms and best practices will emerge for how to create personal security networks. Devices will also be created to simplify and make user-friendly the process of acting as a guardian.
- OldMidnight 5y agoAh yes, centralization.
- CryptoPunk 5y ago1. Much less centralization than legacy finance, as you only have to be able to trust in the integrity of open source software released at one point in time, not trust a black box corporation and government over the course of a long period of time while your funds are deposited at a bank. 2. The centralization is not mandated - you can choose to audit the software yourself. 3. If you do choose to rely on a trusted third party, the set of parties you can choose from is open, with no restrictions on who you can choose to rely on. Overall it enables a much more configurable and open financial system, with a larger set of parties able to participate in the market, and a much larger range of configurations that those parties can utilize.
