When twitter was younger, people would implement against their api and eventually get shut down.

I can't imagine having a dependency on a coinbase api.

No one else find it super weird there is an announcement the same day coinbase got hacked?

fact check: coinbase did not get hacked

A bug in Coinbase software allowed hackers to steal Coinbase users' money and private information. What else would you call this?

4 whole days! They'll never recover from this, right?

I would be not long for this world if a service I helped maintain was down for four days.

If so, that is a frightening indictment of the world we live in and not you as a person.

I think they’re a Go/Typescript shop, but crypto does love Rust!

Cardano ecosystem used to use Rust a lot. Currently moving to Haskell. Few other big ecosystems using Rust too. Imo future is more expressive rust-like languages.

I thought they'd been using Haskellfor years, and the rust development was relatively recent.

They should all be liable for damages if anything bad happens as a result of account misappropriation IMO

Coinbase is making all the affected customers whole. What more liability do you want?

A fine that is substantial enough to make them deprecate 2FA for SMS

The Bitcoin network supports a theoretical maximum of 7 transactions per second, so they’re probably eager to do it some other way.

Lightning though... Amiright!? I'm setting up a node as soon as my ssd arrives.

Is "as soon as my ssd arrives" the new "the check is in the mail"?
