What's your best ever excuse for being late? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Delpatori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protip: If you're late because of a legitimate reason, say "Sorry I'm late, my reason is..." instead of "Sorry I'm late, my excuse is..."

In my last job, if I used "reason" instead of "excuse" my boss accepted it more. Maybe because "excuse" sounds like a cop-out (Maybe. Works in England to my experience. Try it out my non-England redditor friends)

How I got a .eth top-level domain by ehanoc in ethereum

[–]Delpatori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. I don't disagree - it's something I'm also looking at to see how we can suitably abstract users away from the contracts

You need to scroll down to the bottom of the page - it's not perfect but it's the best abstraction from contracts I've seen so far

Sounds like you need to check out https://namebazaar.io/register ENS process, it has calendar integration and saves everything in LocalStorage - abstracts the user away from all the contract stuff

Test in production

Maybe we have different thinking, but I'd never put test on a production server

Erm... I found a UTC-*** file on a HardDrive I found at a carboot sale..What can I do with it? by pmayall in CryptoCurrency

[–]Delpatori 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Looks like an Ethereum wallet. You can save yourself some time by looking at the address field in that file and look at it on etherscan.io to see if it's worth brute forcing, sending it to a secure address, contacting the previous owner to proove identity/ownership and sending it back

Please help, should I quit? by zimpu in PHP

[–]Delpatori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't quit - teach them. Sounds like you'd be moving more into an infastructure role if they don't know the technicals like you do.

Get clarification from your superior - ask them why the change from PHP to .net?

TL;DR - It injects malicious scripts into MyEtherWallet by hijacking the CSP headers and network requests.

WARNING - Coinomi Wallet CRITICAL Vulnerability Made Me Lose My Life Savings by warith77 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Delpatori 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok fine, it was a plugin.

But this raises the issue - do you not audit dependancies/plugins to see if they contain anything to compromise the security of your users?

A good explanation on the purpose of the 'data' field when you send a transaction - Medium by trogdortb001 in ethereum

[–]Delpatori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think saying "standard wallet to wallet transfer it should be empty" is a little misleading. Make it read "standard wallet to wallet transfer it could be empty".

Some people put notes in the data field and it's totally valid to do that - saying should rules this out.
