Interesting article (https://finrazor.com/news/reporting-bugs-in-the-era-of-cryptocurrencies?utm_source=bitcointalk) about how it can sometimes be dangerous to do a good thing.

What do you think about it?

Props to Cory!

Cryptocurrency is more popular in this current world but it’s natural that it’s have some bugs but crypto still gradually improving. So report bugs as well as.

That’s not impossible to have some bug on cryptocurrency. So it’s need to be reported but is there any threat to report on cryptocurrencies bug.

I don’t know that if anyone report cryptocurrencies bug, felt bad effects on them. I have no experience about that but if I have a clear view I will be benefitted.

Very good for Cory

Really it’s a nice article. Corey fields nicely present bitcoin cash vulnerability in his article. I believe it eill help me and many other to survive in crypto world.

There was a clear case not long ago with nano, someone started creating them out of the blue and they had to stop the listings all togheter. Was it nano? Not sure.

I got really surprised by this news. It is truly a threat to the community of crypocurrncy. I hope that this kind of problem gets shirted out and we can do business hassle free and securely

I read the article and I do not get it, he says that he was afraid that they point arrows at him, but logically if he used this Bug!! Then why would he report it! Reporting it alone was enough evidence that he did not use it to his benefits right?

Here is a quote from the article that I believe nicely illustrates the point here:

All this just goes to show how critical cryptocurrency programming is. You have to have first class programmers, or you are willing to put huge amounts of money at stake. Once I heard Jameson Lopp (https://lopp.net/) in a podcast talking about bitcoin programming. He was comparing bitcoin programming to rocket science -- there is no room for mistake in either of them.

your statement is unfortunately not very clear to me,  but as far I can assume maybe you are taking about the reporters who research about cryptocurrency and make reviews this is good and bad at the same time cause sometimes they provide false news as well which effect the market

There will be a little risks where there will be lots of profits. So, collect information about your project and be careful,stay safe. Bugs are not in everywhere study more and stay safe yourself.

Some risks may have been hidden in the crypto. But in order to get something good, there will be some danger to be accepted. Crypto is now the most profitable and potential. You can take the risk for your profit.

I always believe that there will be a little risks where there is a lot of profit. So be careful and stay safe but it does not mean there has a huge bugs everywhere.

In general no risk no gain. crypto are now more profitable and demandable, it is better than traditional transaction. but every good things has little hide dangers. crypto are same. but we should aware and take this risk for get more profit.

Crypto are more reliable and potential. its futurer are best. but it has little danger. we can reduce this risk by our awareness. it will make more profit based on risk. it's also secure and promising.

Good thing that the bug had been fixed otherwise, a lot of hackers and scammers would have tried to exploit it and steal people's money since the bug was related to critical check in the transaction signature type. Developers should be more careful from now on before releasing a coin since a lot of investors would be investing their hard earned money on it.

It’s better to add a bit more detailed information in your posts. However, thanks for sharing the article with us. Lucky that the scammers and hackers couldn't take the advantage of this bug. Hurting bitcoin cash would have cost billions of dollars as well as would have made the crypto market very weak. Developers should be more aware of their project’s well-being.

Honestly, I feel that Cory should have disclosed it earlier, when we first found out the bug. Already, a lot of investors have lost their trust on these fork coins as they are performing very poorly on the market. So, their developer team should have the minimum sense of making it foolproof even after releasing it.

Whatever he did was really commendable. He has done the right thing for its user's safety. It is really very crucial to make it secure from the hackers who are working really fast to capture this market as this totally depends on cloud computing.

He has proved himself a good developer. Just think if he wouldn't do it in this encrypted way then what might happen? They could have lost billions of dollars just by making one mistake. His correct decision made it easier to tackle with this.

I never thought that now there are many good articles to learn, only occasionally there are also articles that are good for us to learn in the world of crypto.and the danger is if we make another article with the same word.

Yes, it's all a risk from all jobs, not just cryptocurrency, it's worth noting. But how can that risk be saved before a disaster occurs, that's an amazing thing.

Bugs are not in everywhere study more and stay safe yourself.He has done the right thing for its user's safety. It is really very crucial to make it secure from the hackers who are working really fast to capture this market as this totally depends on clo.

I am really shocked. This can really make harms of crypto community. Hopefully this problem will be solved very soon. We just want to do business in a secured platform. This kind of threat is never be expected.
