  • No, the scandal they got caught up in was basically if you typed “Coinbase” into the search bar it would suggest the autocomplete response for their affiliate link to Coinbase, it wasn’t limited to just coinbase however, and it wasn’t a forced redirect, just didn’t pass the sniff test, and while that doesn’t mean it’s bad or malicious, that also doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good.

    It just happens to be the best solo solution on the application layer that works well with other complimentary services on other layers to fit my good enough criteria for now based on the hardware I currently have available to me.

    When I get a different phone (read as migrated off of Apple [current] and Google [past] phone OS’s) I will reevaluate my mobile opsec and most likely chose from the other solutions available on the platform of my choice.















  • Let’s say I have an account with lots of positive karma. Let’s say I take that account, and make it look nice, I can look like a paragon of a community, or a customer service account or anything I want. Now let’s say I go into a mmo community and use that nice good looking account to run a scam where I get people to send me passwords and 2FA codes, now I’m running off with their MMO gold and selling it.

    Let’s say I setup an account that seems to be related to a crypto wallet company, you post to a subreddit asking for help and I come along and convince you to send me your crypto, or to screenshot something that compromises your seed without you thinking, or send you to a webpage that looks like you’re signing a transaction to sign in.

    Basically if karma is a metric of community trust, someone will use that trust against the community
