1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Can it be a problem for Bitcoin network ? on: October 18, 2022, 07:48:04 AM
I am not a technical specialist.

I was just imagining how theoretically to attack the network.
Is it real in real life ?

Step 1:
We are searching for all Bitcoin nodes by port 8383.

Step 2:
We will find out on which hardware (cpu architecture ) and operating system the nodes running on.

Step 3:
Using Zero-days exploit for arbitrary code execution on each nodes we find.

Step 4:
Changing the consensus rules. (something like "if you're translate transaction which transfer n BTC to bc1adwHq....3q (The attacker's address ) , it does not require signing this transaction with Private key or whatever
 Its Something like forced Hardfork.


Since we have more computing power than anyone else, these rules will be valid in the longest chain

What do you think about it ? Is it real ?

I would take an outdated and ugly-looking user interface but a safe, effective, and bug-free wallet over a good-looking, beautifully-designed but unsafe and filled with bugs piece of software any day of the week. And that's what Electrum provides in its desktop version. It works as advertised and doesn't cause me any headache. 
I'm not suggesting making the app less secure or functional.
I'm just offering to make the mobile version more beautiful. Although I would also like to add an encryption/decryption function for message in mobile version.

I want to discuss the topic of the new design for Electrum Wallet.
I think this design is outdated.
I suggest developers create a public address with money from which to pay designers .
What do you think about it ?
Is it necessary at all?

There were small discussions here and there from people wanting UI/UX changes, but again, small ones.
From what I remember the problem is that the UI/UX is too heavily tied with the underlying code, so first of all a huge refactoring/rewrite is needed in order to get to a decoupled UI that can be customized/rewritten by a designer.

So the first discussion is not about paying a designer - somebody may be doing it even for free if it's decoupled - the biggest problem is the changes in the code, which I guess nobody is too keen to make.

It's very bad if the problem lies so deep.
Maybe then it will be possible to spend this money to pay programmers.
I like electrum and I use almost all its features.
But the design of the Android app repels many People.
It just upsets me.
