Why JAXX is Dead to me

in #cryptocurrency8 years ago (edited)

So admittedly, I am just now getting back in to cryptocurrency even though I have loved it from the beginning. What can I say, life happens but I never stopped hating debt based currencies or fractional reserve banking.

Enter JAXX Wallet stage left. I new there were too many projects I wanted to support and really didn't want 15+ wallet applications. It rates well and seemed to be reviewed from reputable sources.

So I have a confession, I'm a fundamentalist when it comes to programming. I am that guy that would rather lose points on an assignment than not sanitize my inputs. You know, that one nerd everyone knows they should listen to when he steps on the soapbox and starts preaching about security and buffer overflow attacks?

Exit JAXX stage left... What is this amateur hour? For @#_* sake! In this day and age, who the hell puts a salt in code without leveraging user provided values? This is why we don't have nice things. Bad development kills reputation if nothing else.

Needless to say, although I loved the JAXX UI and having ShapeShift onboard, I dumped the app like a bad habit and haven't looked back. Life is too short for PPC (piss poor code).
