Since no one mentioned it - this seems to be a major and real problem in the crypto job space. In their job market it's more believable that a 'stealth startup' is reaching out and doing a code challenge from an unfamiliar email or repo, and crypto devs are likely to have a wallet or passwords accessible on their system. They are willing to go above and beyond the regular spam or AI conversations to get access.

- inigyou 1mo agoThere are also plenty of ventures that have not had all their coin stolen.
- fwip 1mo agoSure, you can get into the scam business expecting you'll be the scammer and not the scammed. Statistically, it's not gonna work out. Same as folks buying into MLM and other pyramid-scheme-adjacent things. Lots of them think they'll be the ones coming out on top.
