This is nothing new. Most are aware of the general issues with crypto currency security. Interesting comment from network code maintainer..
We maintain the blockchain, which facilitates the transactions, nothing more...
If we had to revert your funds, we would have to convince the entire ecosystem to roll back the blockchain, to prior the block that moved your funds, and every transaction made since along with it... Not only that, it would then be a matter of fight between you and the thief of who got the first transaction out of your wallet...
- 2muchcoffeeman 4y agoIsn’t immutability one of the features of the block chain? Why is this person asking for a reversal of the transactions?
- haint_ 4y agoWhat's interesting about that comment? Isn't that basically how blockchain works?
- bsdz 4y agoIndeed it is how blockchain works within crypto currencies. I find it interesting that many participators (i.e. OP) don't understand how unsafe their coins are and this has to be explained as such by the commentator. Admittedly, perhaps not everyone finds interest in the same things as me.
- haint_ 4y agoExcept that this has nothing to do with being "unsafe". OP used his private key/mnemonics somewhere else and that's equivalent to giving your bank account + password to other people and then complaining when they take your money.
