RE: Open letter to Ned Scott and Dan Larimer and STEEM community -I have lost all my $900 worth of STEEM- typosquatting usernames
Tagging @sneak as I believe he's more likely to review this than @ned.
There should be a "transfer to exchange" button. When you press it, it has a drop-down of known exchanges. It should also warn you if you don't include a memo (ideally it would know the formats).
"Transfer to a steem user" could be an advanced option, normally hidden for now.
Thank you @demotruk. I would love to see your opinion on this. Do you find this as a security issue? ( having squatted usernames for exchanges? )
I think manually entering names is the security issue. In Bitcoin this is prevented by checksums. There is no equivalent for Steem. Whereever possible in the UI we should be able to select from a list* instead of typing in a name, because typing is so prone to error.
* Examples: List of exchanges, list of followers, list of friends etc.
