Yes a mistake happened, but I am also victim of a crime, it would not have happened with HitBTC for example - I would have lost nothing because they have basic phishing protection.
Then resolve that with the police.
No you don't get it, Etherdelta offered a decentralized trustless exchange, and that means personal responsibility.
In HitBTC there is a middleman, which means there is counterparty risk (exchange hack, DDOS, owners running away, who knows?)
A decentralized trustless setup is more secure, and people have to be responsible. I am really sorry for your loss, but this is really like a learning experience for people to be more careful.
I myself have also lost like about 0.7-1
BTC in the past since I sent stuff to the wrong address. I just learned to be careful. I don't need a bank or middleman to process that transaction for me.
It's the convenience vs sovereignty argument, which one is more important for people?
Has no basic phishing protection
Of course they do, they have HTTPS certificate, signed by a CA.
Most scammers don't have HTTPS certificate, how should they know ahead that scammers will buy HTTPS certificate.
Actually how the fuck did those scammers get a HTTPS certificate in he first place, doesn't these CA's scan for similar links and not let people use similar looking links? I dont understand how this works but isn't the CA liable too which gave out the certificate to the scammers?
They are not looking for EtherDelta Phishing sites and report/close with provider -thats lazy
Hey it's just 1 guy I believe, they don't have the manpower I believe. Isn't that the responsibility of the CA to look for phishing links?
