RE: Open letter to Ned Scott and Dan Larimer and STEEM community -I have lost all my $900 worth of STEEM- typosquatting usernames

in #steem • 7 years ago

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.
