JS

outofobscure

I suggest you go back to mining those shitcoins you talk about. I‘m a C++ guy btw, but i was there when JS was invented and even had the „pleasure“ to write a lot of it, so please, keep your prejudices to yourself.

IQtek

My point is that the past is the past. You can't hold on to it even if your life depended on it. ITS DONE WITH. We must advance with the current tech, web3, AI, decentralized everything and tokenize everything. I suggest you take up Solidity and Node JS programming keep up instead of making opinions from the side lines.

Zanena001

No they haven't. The project does more than decentralized hosting, e.g Akash, which is pretty much Airbnb but for renting servers, the execution is also replicated so you get the benefits of smart contracts: no single point of failure, censorship resistance and tamperproof execution. On top of that there are some features which help devs integrate their services with web2 and web3, the former by perfoming HTTP calls directly from IC smart contracts and the latter by using Threshold cryptography, which allows smart contracts to securely store private keys so that they can move funds natively on other chains. Also the IC execution layer is based on WASM VM, which allows it to run any language that can be compiled to it or that can be interpreted by a wasm supported language. Right now it supports: Rust, C, Motoko (IC's own language), JS and Python. With more languages being worked on. One IC dev recently demonstrated at ETH cinco de mayo how you can run a express.js server directly on the IC as a smart contract, which is pretty unique in the space, as it means web2 devs can easily transition to developing decentralized applications by leveraging the tech stack they already know.

Algorand has everything you need, is fast and cheap to use, the official wallet is one of the best, and the JS / Python are a breeze to build with.

aminok

Lisk distinguishes itself by having its applications written in JS, to make it more accessible to the global developer base.

stedgyson

I believe you can use Python for Ada now and Solidity isn't a mile away from JS but blockchain isn't the first choice unless you need decentralisation

Raspberry_64713

they had recommended to use some third party developer's python to convert to TEAL in the past. I don't understand what's the difference between this and then? Also, wasn't there Chris Swenor from Reach, who created one JS to solidity and TEAL?

_libertine_

Thank you so much—yeah, I did almost 3 years of C++ in CS grad school, plus Python, C#, Java, and now a lot of JS/TS. I miss C-like languages though! Appreciate the resource—there are soooooooo many resources out there it’s hard to know what’s good and what’s just SEO-optimized crap.

ajparent

People who are still hating on JS with the same old claims are just pure lazy and can’t think for themselves. There is a reason why his blockchain hosts more transactions and is the chosen blockchain for stable coins. It’s not because he’s a scammer, it’s because he built a great product, and it works flawlessly.

Always_Question

I don't consider them to be decentralized blockchains. US gov has it out for both of them, CZ, and JS.

Driu33

Not really, there is bunch of bugs in PL in existance, as e.g. JS. Also as example last curve hack, that is related to Vypers function exploit.

inShambles3749

Ada supports multiple languages already. And solidity is basically just JS. Software engineers are flexible; adapting to a new language isn't as hard as you picture it. Languages don't matter at all.

inShambles3749

You don't need Haskell anymore for Plutus contracts you can use python, JS and whatever support in the meantime got added as well.

If you’ve got less than 1000 DOT, I recommend using a staking pool. You can join one through the Polkadot staking dashboard (google it) and you can interface with the Talisman or Polkadot.JS wallet.

reed5point0

should at least bring back the memes JS

tilac

Polkadot-JS is the native wallet. Talisman is popular with the DOT crowd although I haven't used it.

tldr; Hackers are using Binance Smart Chain contracts to store malicious scripts in a new code distribution technique called EtherHiding. This technique abuses blockchain systems to distribute code injected into hacked websites, making the attacks difficult to detect and take down. The hackers target vulnerable WordPress sites or compromised admin credentials to inject script tags into webpages, loading the Binance Smart Chain JS library and fetching malicious scripts from the blockchain. The malicious code is then injected into the site, prompting users to download a fake browser update that leads to a malicious executable. The decentralized and unblockable nature of the blockchain makes these attacks resilient. Mitigation requires focusing on WordPress security. This technique showcases the evolving tactics of threat actors and the potential integration of blockchain abuse in future payload delivery attack chains. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Same. Binance is shady not doubt but JS is straight up poison.

WineMakerBg

JS and CZ, similar minds act alike.

seb7mad

Binance is the largest CEX out there and has a profitable business model. I’m not saying it’s “too big to fail” because that doesn’t exist, but I agree it wouldn’t go down even if BNB disappears tomorrow. JS and CZ are just whales playing around with their pocket change

WineMakerBg

JS needs money to pay the hacker who stole $8Mil a week ago. Rug Pull cycle turning into a vortex of hacks.

rootpl

JS is one of the shadiest people in the industry. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years from now he'll be the next SBF or Mashinsky. He'll do something stupid sooner or later, he's simply too cocky not to.

MethuselahsCoffee

Hey so. Learning JS is great but any front end stack will do. Rustlang would also be good to learn if you want to be “full stack.” And don’t be discouraged by the “senior” tag. Chances are your 13 military years has a bunch of things that directly crossover. When looking at postings have a think about your experiences and how they meet the needs of the role. For example logistics would directly translate to project management. Good luck!

Successful_Craft3076

After SBF, Do kwoon, JS, and so many others, I am starting to think crypto gave birth to a completely new brand of sociopathic CEOs.

drb0r1sdev

I don't really get this. Why would the innerText be changed all of a sudden, on the page loading? It's not how it works. It has to be changed manually and then you can literally write whatever you want there or with JS immediately after the site has been loaded.

PanFennel

Oh, they can't directly hack you that way, as I understand. But they still can steal your cookies/doxx your IP/insert some malicious shit in JS on that page/etc. And use that to gather more information if they are targeting you specifically and maybe then 'hack you'. But overall you're right.

The fault is mine, who didn't secure my machine enough, so the malware got installed. Basically it is an extension that installs itself in Brave and Chrome by launching these browsers with: \`"C:\\Program Files\\BraveSoftware\\Brave-Browser\\Application\\brave.exe" --load-extension "<path>"\`. The extension itself is just JS that intercepts every XHR request and swaps my addresses with the attacker's addresses. It intercepts JSON payloads and HTMLs (so that they can also capture eventual e-mail confirmations from the exchange confirming the user his destination address). I actually have the malware's source code, which I extracted from the browser when I noticed the damage. I can share it, but should I? It is very easy to de-obfuscate, and it can be used to do harm. However, I can also provide their DNS evidence which I described here in this daily post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/16d2glk/comment/jzn7mzn/?context=3

My CEX sends every email with a non-phishing phrase that is visible in every email. I had to up a few words that are stored in my profile and the CEX 'signs' every mail with those words. One of the only few way to check (with the naked eye) if a mail is valid. You could check the email headers, but let's be honest. Who does that for every email? A html query behind a link (or button) could not execute commands that would cause this. Some very, very nifty JS could be running on the site, but again. I'm not sure/convinced that could set permissions either. I'm not sure what happened, and I'm sorry this happened to you. From a professional/security perspective I have to say I'm very curious how this was done.

I am. I have a go on chain staking a couple of times using JS wallet. I struggle with validators picking though. The Alegadly good ones tend to be oversubscribed.

seb7mad

You can read in about them in Polkadot wiki: [https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-nomination-pools](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-nomination-pools) Also take a look at the staking dashboard: [https://staking.polkadot.network/#/pools](https://staking.polkadot.network/#/pools) &#x200B; About Talisman, yes, it's a DOT/KSM/ETH wallet that I find more user friendly than JS wallet. However, you can use nomination pools with any Polkadot wallet in the staking dashboard I shared. Hope you find the information useful

The indictment's allegations—including its claims about what the chats show—are lies. It's deeply disturbing the utter disregard the authors show for the truth. The basis for their allegations is summarized by this paragraph: [New Tornado Cash indictments seem to run counter to FinCEN guidance - Our initial thoughts on a case that could potentially criminalize the publication of software code](https://www.coincenter.org/new-tornado-cash-indictments-seem-to-run-counter-to-fincen-guidance/) >*The allegations include that the defendants: (a) paid for web hosting services for a user interface that allowed users to send transaction messages to the underlying smart contracts, (b) paid for a software repository (Github) where smart contract and user interface software and documentation was hosted, and (c) had (for a time before May 2020) “complete control” over the Tornado Cash smart contracts.* Paying for Github hosting of open source software, and running a server that serves the HTML/JS of a web interface, that people run locally to interact with a blockchain-based smart-contract, are completely protected under the First Amendment. The last of the three allegations refers to an admin key that the developers could use to upgrade the smart contract, that they destroyed two years before any alleged criminal use of the smart contract. The indictment is disingenuous, containing mischaracterizations, contradictions and lies of omission. You can find it here: [https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/tornado-cash-founders-c...](https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/tornado-cash-founders-charged-money-laundering-and-sanctions-violations) It first claims they made no modifications to the "service" (by which they mean a supposed combination of the web front and the smart contract that the indictment alleges was run by them) to prevent criminal use: >*STORM and SEMENOV knew about these money laundering transactions and received complaints and requests for help from victims of hacking and other cybercrimes. However, they refused to implement any controls and continued to operate the Tornado Cash service and facilitate these money laundering transactions.* Then it contradicts itself in acknowledging they did change the "service", as they changed the web front to prevent criminal use: >*They implemented a change in the service so that they could make a public announcement that they were compliant with sanctions, but in their private chats, they agreed that this change would be ineffective.* But they couch this acknowledgment in an absolutely false/fabricated implicit claim that they deliberately neutered the modification to allow illegal use. The indictiment follows this with the claim that they proceeded to run their "service"—by which they refer to the combination of the web front end and the smart contract—to process criminal deposits: >*They then continued to operate the Tornado Cash service and facilitate hundreds of millions of dollars in further sanctions-violating transactions, helping the Lazarus Group to transfer criminal proceeds from a cryptocurrency wallet that had been designated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control as blocked property.* The assertion is that the private chats confirm all of this, which again, is an absolute lie. The missing context here is that the developers ran a server that served a web front end, that users ran locally to interact with the distributed smart contract. The chats the indictment reference discuss how even with the filtering they instituted on the front end, bad actors would continue to be able to use the immutable smart contracts, because users were able to switch from using the sanctions-compliant front-end the developers provided, to their own front-end that was not sanctions-compliant. The chats demonstrate the developers expressing frustration at the fact that criminals would be able to bypass the front end they provided, and continue using the autonomous Tornado Cash smart contract, putting to a lie the claim that 1. they could have done more to prevent criminal use of the smart contract, and 2. that they controlled the "service"—by which they refer to the web front end and smart contract they allegedly ran—used by criminals. The only uses of any software that they ran—after they implemented the changes the indictment references—were sanctions-compliant ones. The truth is exactly the opposite of what this indictment claims. \-- Echoing my comment earlier in the Daily: the US risked nuclear war with the Soviet Union, which had 40,000 nuclear warheads, to protect its way of life and Constitution. Now the US DoJ blatantly violates First Amendment rights to publish open source code, and criminalizes financial privacy for 330 million Americans, based on the dubious claim that this will stop some hermit state from funding its primitive nuclear weapons program. Shame on Damian Williams and Merrick Garland—the US attorney and the attorney general behind the indictment of the open source developers who wrote the Tornado Cash code. This is nothing less than fascism.

JustSomeBadAdvice

> For example the allegation that they were a money transmission service—and thus had obligations to implement KYC under so-called AML laws (anti-financial-privacy laws)—is based on the premise that serving HTML/JS for an UI for a blockchain dApp to a user, whose browser then runs that HTML/JS client-side, makes you, the party serving the HTML/JS, into a money transmission service. If you run a for profit business, making a profit, with investors, the obvious question that everyone is going to ask is what product you sold and why customers were paying you money. I'm sure you think you can weasel out of that one with magic lawyer speak, but no judge or jury is going to agree with your escapism. > This is a novel interpretation of the law that would have devastating implication for Free Speech rights and technological innovation. No, it would remind the world that most criminals are stupid, and smart people know better than to blatantly break the law. > I've already pointed this out, but you seemingly ignored it, because you are arguing from an emotional place and unwilling to see it, but it is all right there. Right, which is why you will gladly answer for me very quickly exactly what product this profitable business (with investors to answer to) sold, and why their customers paid for it. > is typical of the broader fascist movement that is threatening the cherished internet freedoms You literally sound like a sovereign citizen right now, tbh. > They did not execute any code that transmitted money. Existing money transmission laws in no way applied to them. Tell me then genius, how did they make a profit? Because they didn't get it from ads.

aminok

The indictment is a set of allegations, that you're accepting as fact. For example the allegation that they were a money transmission service—and thus had obligations to implement KYC under so-called AML laws (anti-financial-privacy) is based on the premise that serving HTML/JS for an UI for a blockchain dApp to a user, whose browser then runs that HTML/JS client-side, makes you, the party serving the HTML/JS, into a money transmission service. This is a novel interpretation of the law that would have devastating impacts on Free Speech rights and innovation.

It's probably a better comparison because they're both exchanges but FTX had a lot of "legitimate" trust built up while Binance/Do Kwon/JS are traditionally shadier entities. So that's what I was shooting for with the comparison. The nature of we should have seen this coming kind of thing. You're right though. It will be quick if the cookie decides to crumble.

I do indeed, I'm a software engineer working at a company where our coin is hovering around 500th in the rankings. I'm a full stack JavaScript guy, so I don't actually do the blockchain bit. There is another team that handle the blockchain dev. We offer many different web3 products, where I build the web side of things that interact with the blockchain. This is mainly browser based applications and mobile apps. As a full stack I work on both the frontend and the backend. The flow of data usuallty goes like this: User interacts with the frontend, which then makes an API call to the Node JS backends we run, the backend will then use an internal tool we have built as a gateway to make blockchain operations. This is then relayed back to the backend, which then relays to the frontend again. Frontend -> backend -> blockchain -> backend -> frontend. (With some database stuff in there) Not all data is stored on chain, so it's a mix between sending data to the chain and storing in our own databases. Obviously the user sometimes needs to do blockchain operations with their wallet on our platforms, so I write all of the Frontend code that interacts with MetaMask, including hooking into the smart contracts that we write. I was a standard "web2" dev for many, many years and have always been into the tech side of blockchain. I actually started to learn rust and solidity a few years back with the intention of becoming a true blockchain engineer. But I soon realised that there is a huge role to fill in web3 as a JavaScript guy handling the gap between human fingers and the blockchain itself. I love my job and am so happy I've ended up where I am. Happy to answer any questions, but I won't be saying the name of the company I work for etc etc.

JS code: const currentBlock = 799_478 const targetBlock = 1_000_000 const millisecondsToMillion = (targetBlock - currentBlock) * 10 * 60 * 1000 console.log(new Date(Date.now() + millisecondsToMillion).toGMTString()) Which gives us: `Wed, 12 May 2027 16:18:03 GMT` Of course it would depend on how close average block size is to 10 minutes.

>Is that sophomoric reply the best you can do? I'm laughing at you because as with most bitcoiners you are obviously a clueless and nontechnical. Otherwise you'd understand how silly it is saying "the network effect" is what stops change in programming.

it depends what you want to learn. I think with no knowledge of programing you should start somewhere easier to get yourself going ...

I ended up sticking with web design BC I loved it.

I would use their main wallet app Polkadot-JS. I used to use Kraken, but the return is much higher if you do it yourself, and you keep your own keys, and its simple.

OneThatNoseOne

It's unfortunately a bit more complex. You can be phished by going to a fake version of a legitimate website or even a hacked version of a legitimate website. There are XSS JS-based attacks that can hack you without you even downloading or clicking to activate anything. Your USB device in your device could also be hacked previously from another machine. It's really best to have a hardware wallet or whole separate OS that you **only** use for crypto.

As an engineer I feel the need to chime in for those who are not aware. ADA is not a safe bet at all. Yes they're spending a ton of dev time and power to solve very simple scalability problems and they still can't but they shield themselves saying "it takes longer when you do it right!" but no evidence on the product's quality, I saw a lot of discussions in their GitHub. Haven't checked in while but they're still using Haskell right? There's no support for anything, a blockchain is more than a PhD project it will need to integrate with things... I would use either Rust or JS over Haskell any day.

Yes, the warning has come up for the first time now, but it definitely was the official MetaMask-wallet. There is a similar report on their forum, just look up "Trojan:JS/Phish!MSR Metamask"

Try it. ChatGPT can help you write a simple JS script which checks wallet balances for addresses derived from a seed. Let it run for however convincing you need and let us know.

He's trying to participate in their SUI launchpad staking program, not block him from purchasing anything. The program is meant to trade opportunity cost for users for decentralization and distribution of the new coin. If he wanted to buy SUI when trading was open I don't think they'd have an issue with it, but one whale dominating rewards would make it far less valuable for their users and do little to help decentralize SUI which is the purpose of the launchpad programs. As for who is wrong or right, this is a Binance special offering outside normal trading, they could've whale-capped it to stop him and had warned him previously not to do so. They can fully restrict who uses their platform and for whatever they want really, it's just how the public and legal teams perceive it. If I put on my tinfoil hat here I think there may not have been as much issue if JS used BNB. Binance is likely trying to support other stablecoins with offerings like these and semi-blatant whale domination of TUSD and its peg makes both parties look bad.

Got in it for the money but started becoming a dev because of it. Now I just hope that all my learning of JS and Solidity won't be for nothing in 10 years

Bitcoin magazine was founded by Mihai and Vitalik was writing articles for it. Even though it was called Bitcoin magazine, it was promoting all the shitcoins at the time. David Bailey then bought it from Mihai. Vitalik wrote almost none of the code for ethereum. Gavin Wood developed EVM, solidity based on JS. That's the only difference from Bitcoin. Wood abandoned ethereum within a year, hence proof of stake did not happen in 2016 when it was supposed to. Vitalik is not much of a programmer. He's a blogger and grifter. He was involved in a lot of other scams before ethereum. He told primecoin creator to speculate around announcing updates to pump the coin's price. He went to bitcoin conferences in 2013 with Mihai and Jordan Ash asking for investments to simulate quantum computers to mine bitcoin claiming that Jordan had found a way to solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time. The construction of Vitalik's public image is all courtesy of Joe Lubin's marketing. It's the same deal as Holmes and Balwani.

Why would these two apps be installed if only for crypto? How do you know what else did he do while installing them on Linux or what sudo commands did he use. He seems to have good knowledge of what he does. I don't think he installed any stuff without checking it. He even used a rpm packager for discord.

Because JavaScript has different engines on different browsers. Chrome uses V8 engine for example, so if the engine was implemented correctly with the correct sandboxing techniques then hacking through JS isn’t possible. Brave is a young browser. My suggestion was to not even install a browser on that dedicated Linux PC You can't use metamask without a browser, is unfortunate. All this Web3 thing requires a browser. And you don't need to hack the browser to compromise it. The Metamask wallet itself is a javascript application (is a browser extension). If you can modify the JS code of it you are done.

You mean this guy? “I use a separate laptop ONLY for crypto running QubesOS that only has brave and discord installed.” ONLY for crypto with brave and discord installed. I would like to correct my self when I said that it’s almost impossible to hack into your PC using JavaScript. Because JavaScript has different engines on different browsers.

Thanks! Yeah I just have a very basic knowledge of coding. I'll keep learning python then and later move on to JS.

Same here - i develop in multiple languages and have been a dev for over 20 years. Crypto took longer to learn and interact with but I chalked that up to the fact that it’s so new … like how learning R after I already knew Python was not hard and learning Python was not hard because I know JS, SQL, etc That being said … FTX was a field of red flags. A “CEO” who had never seen a down market or recession; Mgmt team that seemed like mostly friends and family; based in the Bahamas; no audits; the list goes on …. Which is why I hold no BNB. I know DeFi is the goal but CZ’s secret squirrel bit doesn’t do anything for me

You asked a big question, so you're getting a big answer. IELE and the underlying K Framework do a lot more than just give you a sidechain. If all you want is to run smart contracts on Cardano in TypeScript or something, a sidechain is more than fine for that. However, when you're talking about IELE, you're talking about something that can be used for a whole lot more than just a sidechain. TL;DR: IELE was never _just_ a scaling solution; it's supposed to be a "next-generation" of Plutus in the sense that it should compile to an existing well-defined instruction set (i.e., LLVM IR) and formally-verifiable runtime for said instruction set. The idea was to build a scaling solution on top of this, but that's really the endgame for all offchain computing; it's not ready yet, of course, b/c it's so nakedly ambitious. On the other hand, if what you want is just a scaling solution (without all the security and extensibility stuff you get from IELE), then Hydra and Midnight should be fine. Hydra was always part of the plan, but Midnight was introduced as a stopgap since people seem to want sidechains NOW; make no mistake, however, that the endgame is IELE. Background: These days, you hear all about languages being compiled by newer compiler infrastructures like LLVM ("new" in comparison to GCC) and newer runtimes like EVM, Plutus, and even WebAssembly (WASM) in the Web2 world. For the rest of this rant, I'm going to assume for this that you have some knowledge about how compilers and programming languages work. I can provide docs on request if it's about something specific, but there's too much literature on this subject to summarize it all. Now, what is IELE in the context of compilers and runtimes? IELE is a runtime over a subset of LLVM's intermediate language representation (IR). In other words, it takes a subset of the IR generated by LLVM, which is used by the LLVM-based compilers in the code optimization phase (when the compiler takes the liberty to rewrite your code to be faster and whatnot). On its own, it's got nothing to do with Cardano, but you can very easily build a sidechain with IELE. Why would you want an IELE sidechain in the first place? There's a couple reasons: 1. You don't have to write a whole new programming language to target it. It should be compatible with LLVM, which means that you should be able to run any low-level language (e.g., Rust) directly on the blockchain without having to use an intermediary runtime like Plutus or EVM. Imagine an interface where, just like you can compile Rust to WASM, you can also compile it to IELE and run it on the blockchain as a smart contract; this is what IOG is targeting, and it's much harder and more impressive to do than building any plain old sidechain (at least IMO b/c difficulty is relative). 2. It's more secure than anything else b/c you're running an already-secure source language (e.g., Rust) over an already-secure target language (i.e., LLVM IR) rather than building your own language like Solidity and building your own runtime for it from scratch. This is why Solidity has so many vulnerabilities; building a programming language and a runtime that people actually like using is REALLY FUCKING HARD, but Vitalik decided that blockchain should be like the web and the language should be like JS; that's how we got stuck with Solidity. We built Ethereum and Solidity in almost exactly the way Chrome and JS were built, and only after investing millions on millions did we finally remember that most of us fucking hate Chrome and JS. 3. IELE underlies the K Framework, which was designed for formal verification of compilers and runtimes. This means that it becomes very easy to prove complex mathematical properties about IELE using K. You can say that ETH has formal verification too, but Cardano is on a whole other level. Reason being, it uses functional programming languages such as Haskell, Agda and K (the latter two are basically "Haskell-on-crack"), which make it a lot easier to reason about the kinds of definitions, theorems, and proofs you get in abstract math; you just can't get the same level of expressivity in terms of the properties you can prove with any procedural or object-oriented language. To summarize, IELE is an extremely ambitious project that, like a lot of other stuff IOG puts out, we'll only see the full effects of when it's released and stable (which will unfortunately ba few years yet); again, it's way more ambitious from a theoretical computer science perspective than any sidechain like Polygon could be. However, the thing is, IOG gets a lot of flak for this "academic approach," even though that's their biggest selling-point in the end. That's why they're coming out with a variety of different scaling solutions, each with its own strengths, limitations, and tradeoffs. Hydra, for example, is a simple subledger for offchain computation, which you use in the same way you use Lightning Network; it can do a lot more than just that, especially once Interhead Hydra drops, but we're already seeing some promising early demos. On the other hand, Midnight is a sidechain which is designed to support TypeScript SCs over a whole different accounting and ledger management model than Cardano's core settlement layer. If you just wanna do what Lightning does and send microtransactions with e-UTxOs, then Hydra is fine; however, if you want to write an SC in an object-oriented language, and you don't wanna use e-UTxOs, then Midnight is your best bet. In time, the community will develop many more scaling solutions on their own so that we don't have to rely only on IOG's code; that's exactly what they've been doing for the past 2 years already.

I just use Fearless Wallet, I never needed to upgrade to Nova Wallet because Fearless was already good enough. You don't need a seed for your Fearless wallet because it's linked to your Polkadot JS account (unless you specifically want a hot wallet separated?). It's a nifty technique like how Metamask works for hardware.

Everyone in this feed knows that JS hasn't been in charge of Tron since December, right?

Chemical-Theory-9938

You can’t fix it . Regard , JS lol 😈

NiGhTShR0uD

It's about time they went after JS. 2022/23 are shaping up to be good years for smoking out all the bad actors.

Yonix06

It's funny because of two things. 1/ the vast majority of USDT is held into the Tron chain. 2/ huobi hot wallets are sending tons of scam dust tokens to thousands of wallet every day since JS have bought it. We can add many many rings to this too.. Stay away from this guy. He's rotten to the core.

Anytime anything is involved with JS avoid it. It's simple.

llabmik37

With this level of uniform JS hate, it now feels inevitable that he will somehow succeed. "Inverse Reddit" and all that.

CymandeTV

Well, SBF then DK and finally JS : The triforce.

ExtensionNoise9000

Agree. For ETH for example, one would have to use Tornado cash or some similar anonymizing service to get some gas onto a wallet that is not publicly tied to their person. Deploying the contract would have to be done through their own personal node and not Infura or some other provider. Code could probably not be stored on GitHub or any such services. And interactions with the contract would probably have to be done through the CLI on the user end - I’m not sure how a frontend/web page could be hosted anonymously while still allowing JS execution. And I’m probably missing some stuff here as well. Definitely not easy or a good experience, but also not impossible.

Jcook_14

DOT isn’t nearly as simple as ATOM to stake tbh. But I go to the Polkadot staking website, and use Polkadot JS wallet extension as my wallet to interact with the staking dashboard. It’s not super complicated but that’s what I did and it took like half an hour or so for me to get it staked, just because I had to learn how the wallet worked

MindTheMindForMind

If you lack matemathical understanding, it’s still a thing to dive into programming JS and after solidity? Genuine question.

ArkhamKnight_1

Truth is…very few use it! Most buy and sell as any commodity class. JS…. 🫡

jonfoxsaid

Right dude people here blow my mind. Like what is OP even getting at with this, they are apples and oranges ... you can very easily be interested in both, invest in both and even USE both. They can both succeed and hell, in the future we will probably see them paired together in some project ... IF we have not already and I just don't realize it. On a side note I would love to be able to give chat gpt access to a crypto wallet and see what is possible with the proper instructions. I use it for writing javascript and boilerplate code all the time and it's fucking awesome ... I can feed it like javascript and be like "make this JS do "x" and correct any errors: (insert pasted code I wrote ) " and like in a second it spits out correct code. On the few occasions it's been wrong i have legit just told it and it always gets it right the second time, but it has been wrong like 2/100 times for me.
