FYI this is not the reason Ethereum failed as a blockchain. Security bugs are bad, but what's worse is 9GB/week bandwidth requirement = 3 hours sync on average world connection, if you're lucky. No idea why everyone ignores t

Yes, that's what I said. The ABI-intended input field could easily be used as personal ID. Furthermore in some cases you need to transfer money to other wallet specifically so it could call some method, and this way you would literally

Such a waste of tx! Ethereum should allow sending directly to 0xAddr#input where input could be kind of tag that is used to identify you.

Thanks for a mention. Yes, I find web deeply broken. If any big company decides to reengineer it from scratch: I'm available to help for free :)

Better withdraw it until it was btc-e-ed away :)

Even if it's an offline wallet, who said a physical attack isn't an option? Governments get nasty sometimes.

Does it by default generate a password or there is STILL a way for user to set their own? If the latter, then it won't change anything. We must hide pw field entirely from the user.

Built in pw manager with JS api. Nothing special. Doesn't fix anything.

No, ignore the spec (it's just a list of traits i'd like to suggest), design issues are outlined after it.

If your sole purpose is authentication w/o authorization, one should use securelogin.pw which does not depend on identity provider. And btw OAuth2 spec is insecure by design, it's a known fact.

No work is happening in this direction on any known library server. They are waiting for (another) major hack to wake up.

Ok I see your point, good for you. I never can sleep neither in coach or business - when I fly I'm super anxious though I dont have aerofobia anymore.

That's what makes me wonder. I feel so bad after 10hr flight that I'd rather spend a day in a city like Doha (unfortunately most stopover cities are also most boring middle-eastern cities). I mean I'm jealous - it's the

Always wondered why would anyone fly such a long distance without a relax day or two in stopover city. 10 hr flight than another 10. Even for few million salary i wouldnt want to be made to fly like this.

I've only been to Berlin and Cologne (sooo boring there) and I found Zurich and the rest of CH so much better. Can you say the key difference between these two countries as a German?

Security. After 2 years in SEA and visiting Medellin or Mexico city all i want is run away to sabai sabai.

It is kinda personal but yes girls are considered major perk of Thailand (both "normal" and not). Thats one of the reasons i spent there 2 years.

As a user of N26, sure I always choose cash. They always require typing stupid 6 digit pin (even for paypass). I can't switch it off.

Initially it was explained "create some inputs and ask for some numbers from the user" but later I realized what it is for: it's kind of a script that is injected in a banking page to leak credentials. Then I decided to not p

It should be the opposite: ethernotscamdb. In crypto you need to assume everything is a scan until proven innocent.

Exactly! Even I worked on some ZeuS scripts back when i was freelancing. Not sure if qualifies for weapon. It may kill a JS programmer if they look at it though. Upd. Oh it was sarcasm. Joking, black hats are pain to deal with on payment si

>because obviously email is safer and more convenient than a password stored in a password manager (/sarcasm). no reason for sarcasm, it actually is safer. But UX is still bad, and emails are unreliable - true.
