915 days a year 😂

This is a screenshot short of my kucoin account that have me a year wrap

It’s cryptocurrency. What did you expect. THAT garbage is bound to be poorly coded.

It’s an exchange, not a cryptocurrency.

Check your facts before you start the hate train.

Also, most cryptos have state of the art programming. They have to, because any little hole or vulnerability puts millions or billions of dollars at risk.

Ah yes, the most secure code possible: brand new, closed-source, and written by the lowest bidder.

If you’re talking about the exchanges, sure. If you’re talking about crypto, all of the major cryptos are open source.

There’s no lowest bidder here, how’d you even come up with that?

People employed in crypto are usually very well paid, because they have to be good at their jobs.

The absolute majority of cryptocurrencies is fully open source.

Seriously man, educate yourself before spitting nonsense.

Edit: I’d appreciate if anyone downvoting me provided their reasons for doing so, preferably with sources to back them up. I’m happy to provide examples to back my arguments up if requested.

State of the art programming, all with the goal of scamming people.

Crypto programmers don’t “have” to do anything because they are working on an illegitimate, unregulated security.

Have you heard of Indian call centers? Let’s ban phones, let’s ban email, let’s ban gift cards, let’s ban bank accounts.

The fact that the technology is also being used to scam people doesn’t mean that the whole thing is bad. There are numerous use cases beyond illegal activity, and you focusing on a tiny fraction of the whole thing just shows that you don’t actually want to understand, but that hate is your only way of expressing, that you don’t understand it.

Here, read up. They’ve got studies and sources for their claims.

It’s an exchange for a cryptocurrency of the same name I did my homework

It’s an exchange where you can exchange a token of the same name (their token). The primary purpose is not for that token, it’s mainly known for being an exchange.

You’d get an F then mate.

The fact that they have a token is in no way relevant to the fact that we’re talking about an exchange here.

I dunno, been seeing quite a few posts from https://indieweb.social/@web3isgreat that do kind of give a bad impression…

Yeah, you hear about the things that go wrong and not about the ones that don’t.

I’m not saying everything is perfect, obviously it isn’t, but the people on here are talking about how incredibly shit it is without any redeeming qualities, which just simply isn’t true. It’s harder to prove a negative (that things aren’t bad), especially since nobody’s gonna write a “no protocol got hacked today, $x billion is safe” article.

I think that’s fairly obvious with the smaller text and context.

Did you live on a very fast spaceship maybe?

… or did you travel back to the start of 2023 multiple times, trying to fix the world? It would explain a lot of things.
