RE: Ethereum $30M hack - Bad Code Explained - Programmer explains

in #ethereum7 years ago

Really impressed by your efforts in the video... @ivanli
It feels happier to follow one who is so involved in blockchain coding from the core.

This hack remind me of DAO hack, where the code ran into an infinite loop until Vitalik interrupted. Although, it couldn't be called as a hack.

Well, this hack has been a mistake from the coder side. And obviously, he can't be blamed bcoz this small bug are not detected in the existing Ethereum IDEs.

More importantly, i think that the Ethereum development platform i.e. IDE has to be more professional like the Google's Android Studio which is a world class platform (collaboration with JetBrains), Microsoft's Visual Studio, and many others.

With upcoming companies ready to merge with Ethereum, they are not actually involved in developing the IDE. And this is the most preliminary step for development of classy and non-buggy DApps.

I follow Consensys, a company developing the IDEs for Blockchain DApps programming. It is a great team of software engineers working tirelessly on making Ethereum equipped with good IDEs, which will be capable of detecting such software bugs.

Looking forward to such initiatives in the future....
