Ya this is why part of me is ok with the crypto-on-rails foolproof on-ramps like wealthsimple and now paypal. Normies actually need everything completely idiotproof or they WILL fuck it up (I've done enough webdev to know this). We will never see full mainstream adoption without services like these because of things like op's pic. Once something like this moves down the grapevine, it turns from "this guy made a really bad mistake" to "etherium scammed this guy, I don't trust crypto now"

no, this should happen.
imagine if ETH was adopted at a level 100x what it is now and I'm a whale with 10million in ETH and I need to get it out.
I need to be able to pay $9500 or whatever gas imaginable to be able to get priority on the network.

The nice thing about the Ethereum network is that it's adaptable. If he shoots an email over to the foundation they'll probably be able to roll back the chain for him.

>> No.23746845

>>23744739
Unironically possible if you create a metamask style swap system.

Currently metamask has a .875 takers fee, which is way too expensive, but even a .5% fee could go to an insurance fund and successful disputes could result in a payout from the insurance fund.

Not true, it will get easier over time when better gui's and warnings are put in place for wallets and exchanges (ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?) about 2-3 times for something that looks incorrect, or a possible limiter similar to robinhood auto-stopping what is considered a day trade, with the option to turn it off. We're so fucking early

>> No.23747621

Jesus Christ. I'm scared of this happening to me because I can see myself doing some retarded shit like this. I'm still not 100% sure what he did wrong, how did he end up paying so much in gas fees? couldn't he see that the amount being sent was 0.2 ETH?

>> No.23747754

>>23744494

It's not a network issue, it's a UI/UX issue. They shouldn't call it gas fees/limit/etc. Non-tech people don't want to learn the jargon. It needs to be written in simple terms people already know.

no you fags dont understand. i bought btc in 2012 with the silk road .. but not a technical faggot on bitcorn forums and shit ... back in the day i was just a philosophical anarchist looking to score MDMA to bone a thot named crystal .,. dont ask ... i can 100% assure you ETH does not give a fuck about your money. i made my mint on link. there's still profits to be made in LINK . buy LINK and avoid the absolute landmine that is ETH as an investment. I signed up for their ICO email on the website when they first launched but I never got an email from them and missed the ICO that's just 1 of 1001 horror stories when it comes to building fucking simpe UXUI designs dapps on eth. its so fucking retarded almost as retarded at vitalik not having a solution to the oracle problem. I unironically believed that the oracle problem was already accounted for in ETH smartcontract nope! because Vity thinks the data is magically already on the Eth contract ... no basis in reality.
TLDR; Eth will punish normies and early adoptors and the Ethereum foundation DGAF

that's really on whoever made the wallet that guy used. I assume it was metamask. there should be some kind of warning message that pops up when fees exceed the value of the transaction or something
