RE: Feature Request: Reduce Transfer Fraud By Quickly Adding Form Autocomplete Support For The Steemit Wallet Transfer "To:" Field
I just took a closer look at the fake randomwhale and saw its dubious associate accounts. It's a bit scary.
Now I am wondering how would blockchain address such issues ongoing? I mean In the fiat financial world our deposits can be insured in a bank against thief upto hundreads of thousands. Will similar protection or assurances ever exist with blockchain assets?
Any thoughts on this?
"Will similar protection or assurances ever exist with blockchain assets?"
They would have to be provided by third party, insurance type service, and may be cumbersome. There may simply be an ever-present tax on these sort of mistakes that can only be countered by pre-emptive actions. Remove the economic incentive to do this, and it will mostly disappear.
For example. Randowhale should have registered the account Randomwhale at the same time.
